In den WarenkorbWraps. 43 p. Includes: illustrations, maps. CD in pocket inside the back cover. This is related to a conference held at the Davis Center, Cambridge Massachusetts on Noverber 12, 2009. From Wikipedia: "The Warsaw Pact (formally, the Treaty of Friendship, Co-operation, and Mutual Assistance, sometimes, informally WarPac, akin in f…ormat to NATO) was a collective defense treaty among eight communist states of Central and Eastern Europe in existence during the Cold War. The Warsaw Pact was the military complement to the Council for Mutual Economic Assistance (CoMEcon), the regional economic organization for the communist States of Central and Eastern Europe. The Warsaw Pact was in part a Soviet military reaction to the integration of West Germany into NATO in 1955 per the Paris Pacts of 1954, but was primarily motivated by Soviet desires to maintain control over military forces in Central and Eastern Europe; in turn (according to The Warsaw Pact's preamble) meant to maintain peace in Europe, guided by the objective points and principles of the Charter of the United Nations (1945). After the collapse of the USSR and the end of the Cold War, the alliance was transformed into the subsequent Collective Security Treaty Organization, or CSTO." Very good. Occasional footnotes.

The Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) is the military intelligence agency of the United States Navy. Established in 1882 primarily to advance the Navy's moderniza…tion efforts,[4] it is the oldest member of the U.S. Intelligence Community and serves as the nation's premier source of maritime intelligence. Since the First World War, ONI's mission has broadened to include real-time reporting on the developments and activities of foreign navies; protecting maritime resources and interests; monitoring and countering transnational maritime threats; providing technical, operational, and tactical support to the U.S. Navy and its partners; and surveying the global maritime environment. ONI employs over 3,000 military and civilian personnel worldwide and is headquartered at the National Maritime Intelligence Center in Suitland, Maryland. William H. Hunt, who served briefly as Secretary of the Navy under President James Garfield, formed a Naval Advisory Board tasked with rebuilding the Navy and bringing it up to par to global standards. Largely in response to Mason's recommendations, on March 23, 1882, Hunt issued General Order No. 292, which read: "An "Office of Intelligence" is hereby established in the Bureau of Navigation for the purpose of collecting and recording such naval information as may be useful to the Department in time of war, as well as in peace. To facilitate this work, the Department Library will be combined with the "Office of Intelligence," and placed under the direction of the Chief of the Bureau of Navigation. Commanding and all other officers are directed to avail themselves of all opportunities which may arise to collect and to forward to the "Office of Intelligence" professional matters likely to serve the object in view." The new Office of Naval Intelligence would be headquartered in the State, War and Navy Building (now the Old Executive Office Building), with Mason appointed as its first "Chief Intelligence Office" As originally conceived, ONI assisted in the Navy's advancement by dispatching naval attachés around the world to acquire data and resources related to the latest in naval warfare. These findings would be analyzed, interpreted, and disseminated to Navy leaders and government officials, helping to inform policies and programs related to naval development. The Second World War would see another expansion of ONI's duties and a subsequent increase in its budget and staff. The office established two intelligence schools that trained hundreds of Intelligence officers for the Navy. Its Special Activities Branch offered critical intelligence on German U-boat technology, operations, and tactics, which proved decisive in the Battle of the Atlantic. ONI supplied U.S. forces with ship and aircraft recognition manuals, provided photographic specialists for identifying enemy vessels, assisted in naval mission planning, and was responsible for the translation, evaluation, and dissemination of intercepted Japanese communications.

In den WarenkorbWraps. Zustand: Very good. 42, [2] pages, including covers. Poster inside back cover. Cover has slight wear and soiling. Iran's defense strategists recognize the growing importance of the maritime environment and are shaping its naval forces to secure Tehran's interests accordingly. The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy (IR…GCN) emphasizes an asymmetric doctrine to ensure national security in the Persian Gulf against regional neighbors and foreign presence. The Islamic Republic of Iran Navy (IRIN), dubbed by the Supreme Leader as a strategic force, employs a more conventional doctrine and focuses on forward presence and naval diplomacy. Its mission areas include the Caspian Sea, the Gulf of Oman and out-of-area operations. Both navies have considerable equities and are well positioned to influence and leverage the Strait of Hormuz; a vital chokepoint for the flow of resources and international commerce. During Iran's navies have been supplemented by its other military branches through acquisition of air-launched cruise missiles and antiship ballistic missiles. These developments are a clear indication that Iran understands the growing importance of controlling the maritime environment in its security calculus. Over the past several years, Iran staged a major naval exercise that blatantly featured attacks directed against a mock-up of a U.S. Nimitz-class aircraft carrier. Iran also employed its navies in an attempt to reinforce Huthi rebels in Yemen and to interdict the merchant vessel Maersk Tigris in the Strait of Hormuz. Each of these events serves as a reminder that Iran's navies are capable of churning the waters of the Persian Gulf and beyond. As Iran continues to hone its naval strategy and modernize its respective fleets, this capability will only improve, creating greater challenges to security in an already security-challenged region.

In den WarenkorbWraps. Zustand: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. The format is approximately 10 inches by 6 inches. Unpaginated (32 pages, plus covers) Illustrated covers. Illustrations (photographs, drawings, silhouettes). Tabular data. O. N. I. 220-M--Axis Submarine Manual--was designed primarily for the masters and seamen of our… merchant marine and for armed guard crews. This publication is deliberately nontechnical. Its purpose is to acquaint seafaring men with some of the characteristics and tactics of the raider which approaches unseen and strikes without warning. There are included in this publication the principal types of Axis submarines. Vichy French submarines are included as well so that the coverage of the leading continental naval powers will be more complete. The techniques described are largely from what we know of German methods. However, it is believed that the principles discussed apply to the submarine forces of Italy and Japan, with due consideration for national traits--caution and prudence in the case of Italy; reckless fanaticism in the case of Japan. The principal methods which are available to the master of a ship for thwarting his attacker are those of concealment and evasion. Thus, strict adherence to sailing instructions with regard to darkening ship, zigzagging, and similar precautions is clearly indicated. This publication is an unclassified public document. Distribution should be made of its contents so that those men who must the the gauntlet of a worldwide submarine blockade will know the nature to the enemy that seeks to destroy them. Submarines can proceed on the surface at a speed of 18 knots or better. The submarine carries sufficient fuel to travel around the world. She also carries food and supplies for a cruise of several months' duration. Consequently, the German submarine operating along the American littoral does not need to be refueled or serviced by "mother ships." There have been press reports that German submarines operating off the Atlantic seaboard have been refueled and have obtained supplies from disguised supply ships. This is quite possible. What definitely sends the submarine back home, if she is not sunk or damaged by her enemy, is the expenditure of her torpedoes. When the last bolt has been shot, she must return home to get a new supply. Torpedoes and the human factor determine the endurance of the submarine. This second fact, which may be easily overlooked by even seafaring men who are not accustomed to the cramped quarters of a submarine, is one of considerable important. Submarine crews are likely to be tough and courageous, but under the continual stress of war conditions, unless frequently relieved and given comparatively long periods of rest and relaxation, their morale may show signs of deterioration. The loss of several famous U-boat captains who were an inspiration to the entire German submarine service has, no doubt, had its effect on the less experienced commanders. One or two torpedo hits, if properly placed, will sink a large merchant vessel, although there are many instances of tankers and other ships which have come home after sustaining a torpedo attack from an enemy submarine. Submarines are equipped with very efficient underwater sound devices which permit them to discover the presence and bearings of large surface vessels within a range of 5 miles. This equipment also permits a submerged submarine to keep an accurate track of the position of attacking destroyers and other antisubmarine units. Evasive maneuvers are facilitated by the high maneuverability and the relatively small turning circle of the submarine. The German submarines are reputed to have made considerable progress in reducing the noise of their own machinery, and a submarine proceeding submerged at a speed of less than 3 knots is very difficult to pick up by even the best and most modern listening gear. To destroy a modern submarine by means of depth charges the charge must be exploded very near the submarine's hull. To open up that hull a 100-pound depth charge must be exploded within 15 feet from the submarine. The lethal distance is somewhat greater with heavier charges, but in all cases in order to insure a kill the depth charge must be exploded close aboard.

Illustrations (drawings, silhouettes). Terminology. Technical data. Dated December 9, 1942 on the first page but GPO printing date on last page is 1943. O. N. I 223 has been prepa…red in answer to a growing demand for a more generalized treatment of the subject of warship identification. Since the outbreak of war the Division of Naval Intelligence had issues a considerable number of publications dealing with the appearance of our own naval vessels, with those of allied and neutral nationals and the fleets of our opponents. Written and illustrated by the officers and civilian personnel who have prepared material for O. N. I. Standard Navy Manuals, O. N. I 223 represents an effort to simplify ship recognition for personnel in training and for the fighting forces. The first section of this publication may be regarded as a primer for those whose knowledge of the elements that constitute a fighting fleet is limited. This section describes briefly the functions of the more important combatant types and auxiliaries and their characteristics. It also contains a glossary of common marine terminology and illustrates the salient elements of warship design, with the names and common variations. Additional sections of O. N. I. 223 were planned to be published as material was completed.

In den WarenkorbWraps. Zustand: Good. Presumed First Edition, First printing. The format is approximately 10 inches by 6 inches. Cover is three hole punched and has some wear and soiling. Unpaginated (32 pages, plus covers) Illustrations (photographs, drawings, silhouettes). Terminology. Technical data. This is part of the ONI 54 series of wars…hip recognition manuals. It includes information on the Fletcher Class, Farragut Class, Mahan Class, Sims Class, Benson Class, Livermore Class, Sumner Class of Destroyers, along with information on other Destroyer classes with fewer associated ships. In 1941, the US Navy began building a fleet of large destroyers, its first design to rival the Japanese "special type" destroyers that had first entered service more than a decade before. These 175 flush-deck "2,100-tonners" became, "in retrospect . . . the most successful of all American destroyers: fast, roomy, capable of absorbing enormous punishment, and yet fighting on."2 Thanks to postwar service in the US plus fourteen foreign navies, they remained a familiar sight around the world into the 1990s. The fourth of June 1942 was a significant day for the US Navy. In the mid-Pacific, its aircraft sank four of Japan's six front-line aircraft carriers while turning back the invasion fleet at the Battle of Midway. Meanwhile, at nearly the same hour seven time zones to the east, the first of the 2,100-ton Fletcher-class destroyers was commissioned at the Boston Navy Yard. Their design was a fine achievement, balancing ruggedness and seaworthiness, armament, speed and protection on a classically-proportioned 376½-foot flush deck hull. Known at first as "US Destroyer No. 445" for the hull number of the lead ship, the design incorporated ten torpedo tubes in two quintuple centerline mounts plus five 5-inch/38 caliber dual purpose guns, anti-aircraft weapons and depth charges. At 2,050 tons standard displacement and approximately 2,900 tons fully loaded, the Fletchers were significantly larger than any preceding American destroyer classes. Authorized for fiscal year 1941, construction of the first ships was already under way when the United States entered the war. In an emergency program to expand capacity, some shipyards were upgraded and other new ones were brought on line. Eventually, eleven shipyards launched 175 ships over the next 32 monthsâ"the most numerous class of destroyer completed by any navy. They were also the first US destroyers fitted with radar as built. The pace of US destroyer construction accelerated with the wartime Fletcher class. Laid down beginning in 1941, all 175 Fletchers were completed between June 1942 and February 1945, launched an average of 212 days after keel laying and commissioned after an average of 152 days more or 364 days totalâ"nearly 10 per cent faster than the repeat Bensons and Gleaves that preceded them. The Fletchers are remembered as the signature US Navy destroyer class of the Pacific war. There, the earliest ones saw action in the nighttime surface battles in the Solomon Islands, many fought at Leyte and all completed in time for fleet screening and shore bombardment assignments and the notorious anti-kamikaze radar picket duty at Okinawa. While 19 were lost and six damaged beyond repair, 44 earned ten or more service stars, 19 were awarded the Navy Unit Commendation and 16 received the Presidential Unit Citation.

In den WarenkorbWraps. Zustand: Very good. Presumed first edition. first printing. 56 p. Includes illustrations. Contains a DVD in rear pocket. Selected documents from the Air American Archives. Occasional footnotes. This was produced with the Center for the Study of Intelligence and the National Museum of the United States Air Force. From WIki…pedia: "Air America was an American passenger and cargo airline established in 1950 and covertly owned and operated by the Central Intelligence Agency's (CIA) Special Activities Division from 1950 to 1976. It supplied and supported United States covert operations in Southeast Asia during the Vietnam War.In August 1950, the CIA secretly purchased the assets of Civil Air Transport (CAT), an airline that had been started in China in 1946 by Gen. Claire Lee Chennault (of Flying Tigers fame) and Whiting Willauer. [1] In 1951, the parent company of Air America's forerunner, Civil Air Transport (CAT), was reorganized. The owner, Chennault, was approached by the CIA, who bought out the company through a holding company, the American Airdale Corporation. Under this agreement, CAT was allowed to keep its initials and the company was reorganized as Civil Air Transport, Inc. On 7 October 1957, American Airdale was reorganized to add another layer of obfuscation to its ownership. The new Pacific Corporation became a holding company for Air Asia Company (Air Asia (Taiwan)), Ltd; Air America, Inc; Civil Air Transport, Inc; Southern Air Transport; Intermountain Aviation; Bird and Sons (known as BirdAir); and Robinson Brothers. CAT attempted to change its name to Air America at the same time, but objections from Air France and American Airlines delayed the name change for two years. Air America's slogan was "Anything, Anywhere, Anytime, Professionally". Air America aircraft, including the de Havilland Canada DHC-4 Caribou and Fairchild C-123 Provider, flew many types of cargo to countries such as the Republic of Vietnam, the Kingdom of Laos, and Cambodia. It operated from bases in those countries and also from bases in Thailand and as far afield as Taiwan and Japan. It also on occasion flew top-secret missions into Burma and the People's Republic of China. Air America U-10D Helio Courier aircraft in Laos on a covert mountaintop landing strip (LS) "Lima site"Air America's headquarters moved several times during its existence, 808 17th St. NW, (1964), 801 World Center Bldg, (late 1964), 815 Connecticut Ave NW, (July 1968), and 1725 K Street NW, (1972), all in Washington, DC. Marana, Arizona was the principal continental United States maintenance base for Air America of which was located at Pinal Airpark. [edit] Operations during the Vietnam War (Second Indochina War)From 1959 to 1962 the airline provided direct and indirect support to CIA Operations "Ambidextrous", "Hotfoot", and "White Star", which trained the regular Royal Laotian armed forces. After 1962 a similar operation known as Project 404 fielded numerous U.S. Army attachés (ARMA) and air attachés (AIRA) to the U.S. embassy in Vientiane. From 1962 to 1975, Air America inserted and extracted U.S. personnel, provided logistical support to the Royal Lao Army, Hmong army under command of Royal Lao Army Major General Vang Pao, and combatant Thai "volunteer" forces, transported refugees, and flew photo reconnaissance missions that provided valuable intelligence on NLF activities. Its civilian-marked craft were frequently used, under the control of the Seventh/Thirteenth Air Force to launch search and rescue missions for U.S. pilots downed throughout Southeast Asia. Air America pilots were the only known private U.S. corporate employees to operate non-Federal Aviation Administration-certified military aircraft in a combat role, although many of them were actually military personnel who had been transferred to the airline. By the summer of 1970, the airline had some two dozen twin-engine transport aircraft, another two dozen short-take off-and-landing aircraft, and 30 helicopters dedicated to operations in Burma, Cambodia, Thailand, and Laos. There were more than 300 pilots, copilots, flight mechanics, and airfreight specialists based in Laos and Thailand.

The collection in this volume includes many of CIA's most important documents on the Cuban missile crisis. It contains the 'honeymoon cables' that Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) John A. McCone sent to Headquarters from France a month before the missile crisis, as well as MaCone's notes taken during the National Security Council Executive Committee meetings at the height of the crisis. It also includes intelligence memorandums and estimates, briefing papers, Cuban refugee reports, and memorandums on Operation Mongoose, the clandestine program aimed at destabilizing the Castro regime. Many of the evaluations of the missile threat contained in this volume draw upon IRONBARK material, whose source was Soviet Col. Oleg Penkovsky. All the documents in this volume have been subject to declassification review, and portions of some have been deleted for security reasons.

Some of the tabs remain at the back of the manual. It is three-hole punched and held together by cord tied between the first and third hole. Stiff blue card stock for front and back covers.… Guide to Warships of the British Commonwealth during World War II. A loose-leaf arrangement has been adopted to facilitate the addition and substitution of sheets as issued. In order to permit free and general use of O. N. I. 201 by the Forces Afloat, a low classification has been assigned to it. In this work, emphasis is placed on the appearance of British vessels rather than on their tactical attributes. It will be noted that, under the comprehensive title of this manual, ships of the Royal Canadian, Australian, New Zealand, Indian Navies and the Union of South Africa Naval Force as well as those of the Royal Navy are illustrated. Sequence of Design Classes is at the beginning of the manual, ONI 201 Warships of the British Commonwealth presents a categorical description of the various ships that constituted the British fleet in World War II. The Office of Naval Intelligence produced an important series of recognition guides. ONI 201 covers battleships, carriers, cruisers, destroyers, submarines, and minor combatant types. In addition to descriptive text, the book contains numerous data tables, designation information, and photographs. When it was originally printed, the information presented in this book was so important that it was classified as restricted. Now declassified. The Office of Naval Intelligence (ONI) is the military intelligence agency of the United States Navy. Established in 1882 primarily to advance the Navy's modernization efforts,[4] it is the oldest member of the U.S. Intelligence Community and serves as the nation's premier source of maritime intelligence. Since the First World War, ONI's mission has broadened to include real-time reporting on the developments and activities of foreign navies; protecting maritime resources and interests; monitoring and countering transnational maritime threats; providing technical, operational, and tactical support to the U.S. Navy and its partners; and surveying the global maritime environment. ONI employs over 3,000 military and civilian personnel worldwide and is headquartered at the National Maritime Intelligence Center in Suitland, Maryland. William H. Hunt, who served briefly as Secretary of the Navy under President James Garfield, formed a Naval Advisory Board tasked with rebuilding the Navy and bringing it up to par to global standards. Largely in response to Mason's recommendations, on March 23, 1882, Hunt issued General Order No. 292, which read: "An "Office of Intelligence" is hereby established in the Bureau of Navigation for the purpose of collecting and recording such naval information as may be useful to the Department in time of war, as well as in peace. To facilitate this work, the Department Library will be combined with the "Office of Intelligence," and placed under the direction of the Chief of the Bureau of Navigation. Commanding and all other officers are directed to avail themselves of all opportunities which may arise to collect and to forward to the "Office of Intelligence" professional matters likely to serve the object in view." The new Office of Naval Intelligence would be headquartered in the State, War and Navy Building (now the Old Executive Office Building), with Mason appointed as its first "Chief Intelligence Office" As originally conceived, ONI assisted in the Navy's advancement by dispatching naval attachés around the world to acquire data and resources related to the latest in naval warfare. These findings would be analyzed, interpreted, and disseminated to Navy leaders and government officials, helping to inform policies and programs related to naval development. The Second World War would see another expansion of ONI's duties and a subsequent increase in its budget and staff. The office established two intelligence schools that trained hundreds of Intelligence officers for the Navy. Its Special Activities Branch offered critical intelligence on German U-boat technology, operations, and tactics, which proved decisive in the Battle of the Atlantic. ONI supplied U.S. forces with ship and aircraft recognition manuals, provided photographic specialists for identifying enemy vessels, assisted in naval mission planning, and was responsible for the translation, evaluation, and dissemination of intercepted Japanese communications. Presumed First Edition and First printing thus.
