Bibliographic Notes. Index. DJ, is in a plastic sleeve, is taped around the boards, and has slight wear, soiling and small edge tear. This is one of the Air Force's General Histories series. Jacob "Jack" Neufeld was the Director of the Air Force Historical Studies Office. He previously served as Senior Historian and was the Director of the Center for Air Force History. Mr. Neufeld was also the editor of Air Power History, the quarterly journal of the Air Force Historical Foundation. He earned B.A. and M.A. degrees in history at the New York University and did doctoral studies at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. The author was the Chief of the Headquarters USAF Branch, Office of Air Force History. He became an Air Force historian in 1967 starting with the Eighth Air Force. Throughout his varied assignments in the Office of Air Force History, he has specialized in the history of aerospace technology, Following World War II, the onset of nuclear weapons, long-range jet bombers, and ballistic missiles radically changed American foreign policy and military strategy. The United States Air Force, led by men of far-sighted vision and uncommon dedication, accepted the challenge of organizing and leading a massive research and development effort to build ballistic missiles. In the quarter of the century since, these weapons have constituted one of the tree legs of the strategic triad, the basis of America's strategy of deterring nuclear war, yet they have received less attention from the public and within the Air Force than the more glamorous manned bombers of the Strategic Air Command or the missile-launching submarines of the U.S. Navy. This volume attempts to correct the imbalance by telling the story of development of Air Force ballistic Missiles. It concentrates on the first generation of ballistic missiles: the intercontinental Atlas and Titan, and the intermediate range Thor. Although the effort to develop rockets has a longer history than commonly assumed, the modern history spans the relatively short era from 1945 to 1960. During this brief interval, missiles advanced from drawing board to alert status, where the next generation now remains poised to deter war. A ballistic missile follows a ballistic trajectory to deliver one or more warheads on a predetermined target. These weapons are guided only during relatively brief periodsmost of the flight is unpowered. Short-range ballistic missiles stay within the Earth's atmosphere, while intercontinental ballistic missiles (ICBMs) are launched on a sub-orbital trajectory. These weapons are in a distinct category from cruise missiles, which are aerodynamically guided in powered flight. The earliest form of ballistic missiles dates from the 13th century with its use derived from the history of rockets. In the 14th century, the Ming Chinese navy used an early form of a ballistic cruise missile weapon called the Huo long chu shui in naval battles against enemy ships. A modern pioneer ballistic missile was the A-4, commonly known as the V-2 developed by Nazi Germany in the 1930s and 1940s under the direction of Wernher von Braun. The first successful launch of a V-2 was on October 3, 1942, and it began operation on September 6, 1944, against Paris, followed by an attack on London two days later. By the end of World War II in Europe in May 1945, more than 3,000 V-2s had been launched. The course taken by ballistic missiles has two significant desirable properties. First, ballistic missiles that fly above the atmosphere have a much longer range than would be possible for cruise missiles of the same size. Powered rocket flight through thousands of kilometers of air would require vastly greater amounts of fuel, making the launch vehicles larger and easier to detect and intercept. Powered missiles that can cover similar ranges, such as cruise missiles, do not use rocket motors for the majority of th.

This work was to be part of the now-defunct Warrior Series. In 1982 General Lew Allen, Jr. called for "the continuing study of military history, combat leadership, the principles of war, and particularly the applications of air power." The USAF community can benefit from such study and reflection. Professor Kohn's focus has been American military history, emphasizing national security and military policy, strategy, the American experience with war-making, and the connections between war, the military, and American society. His concentration has been on current civil-military relations, particularly civilian control of the military. His long-term projects are studies of presidential war leadership in American history and the American experience of war, but he continues to research, consult, lecture, and publish in the area of contemporary civil-military relations, military professionalism, and professional military education. This Senior Statesmen seminar, held at Boiling Air Force Base, in 1985, explored the research, development, and acquisition process in the United States Air Force. In particular, the discussion sought to elicit how that process evolved, whether or not it had been successful, why it changed, and what have been the major influences upon it. Readers will note that the discussion proceeds chronologically and topically from the Early Days through the post-World War II era to the 1970s and 1980s. The seminar was essentially a group interview conducted by Dr. Richard H. Kohn, Chief, Office of Air Force History, with senior military commanders and others involved in Air Force research and development. Participants were General Bernard A. Schriever, Lt. General James H. Doolittle, General Samuel C. Phillips, General Robert T. Marsh, and Dr. Ivan A. Getting. The monograph is divided into the following sections: The Early Years, World War II, Post World War II, The 1950s, The 1960s, and The 1970s and 1980s.
