The 1st Air Commandos were sired by General of the Army Henry H. "Hap" Arnold and brought to life by the imagination of two men, Lieutenant Colonel Philip G. Cochran and Lieutenant Colonel John R. Alison.
In gathering men of character and tenacity, these two visionaries molded a unit which had to overcome orthodox military minds, paralyzing fear, and Burma's impregnable terrain before taking the fight to the Japanese.
With a focus on the might and flexibility of air power, Cochran and Alison constructed an experimental unit which cut across the structured lines of conventional organizations. Forming an air arsenal which was totally unique in its composition and applic
The list of firsts is noteworthy - first airborne glider "snatch" in combat, first double tow of gliders into a combat arena, first helicopter operations, first helicopter combat rescue, first gunship employment, and first rockets fired against an enemy.
Unorthodox and eclectic, the 1st Air Commandos serve as a model for conventional and special operations today.

Luftwaffe Combat Aircraft
Griehl & Dressel. Development, production, operations.
1935-1945. Yli 400 kuvaa, 196 sivua, KK.
This new book is a detailed survey and a anew perspective on the development of Luftwaffe aircraft from 1935-1945.
Special emphasis has been placed on details of weaponry, equipment and other areas that have up to now been inadequately covered.
Many readers will therefore be rewarded with new insights into the area of German aircraft development, as well as the logistics of the Luftwaffe flying units.
The book is organized into the basic elements of the German Lutfwaffe - presenting training, pilot operations and ground crews, the individual development steps during aircraft construction, testing, pre-production models, production and finally combat u
Numerous examples of weapons and supplemental armament, as well as diverse weapons systems and ordinance can be found throughout.
Manfred Griehl and Joachim Dressel are also the authors of Luftwaffe Airfield Equipment (available from Schiffer Publishing).

Fighter Aces of the Luftwaffe
Toliver & Constable. Saksalaiset hävittäjä-ässät, 2. MS.
Ehdoton lähdeteos! Yli 600 valokuvaa, 352 sivua. KK.
The most successful fighter pilots of all time
spring to vibrant life again in this revised
and updated edition of the classic account of
Germany's greatest aces in action.
Ride into combat with such Luftwaffe luminaries
as ace of aces Erich Hartmann, Gunther Rall,
Gerhard Barkhorn and dozens of others as they
provide first-hand accounts of the German
fighter arm's epic battle for the skies over
Europe, Africa, and Russia.
Accurate pen portraits illuminate outstanding
fighter leaders and tutor like Werner Molders,
Adolph Galland, "Macky" Steinhoff and many more,
who invested the Luftwaffe Fighter Arm with
its characteristic spirit and vigor.
Legendary air heros like Marseille, and
mercurial "Star of Africa", are shown in
hundreds of photos from German collections.
Personal combat accounts appear against the
backdrop of Reichsmarschall Hermann Goring,
who undermined his own pilots.
From early aerial ascendancy, followed by
its triumphant assault on the Red Air Force,
the Luftwaffe Fighter Arm was inexorably
crushed by overwhelming Allied air power.
Unquenchable courage, devotion to the defense
of their country's civilians, and unmatched
combat skills were of no avail.
The great aces, even in Germany's revolutionary
Me 262 jet fighter, could not win, yet they fought
to the final hour in an unforgettable combat saga.
All of it is here, exactly as it was lived by
the German aces. This book is considered by
surviving Luftwaffe aces to be their monument.
Also included are data lists covering all known
Luftwaffe aces, night fighter aces, jet aces,
and tops & firsts.

The Arado Ar 234C was the world's first four turbojet-powered flying machine to be built in series. But it was more than that, and its design and testing raised great hopes among the Nazis.
The Ar 234 was nothing less than Adolf Hitler's long awaited "Englnder Bomber." Powered by four BMW 003A-1 turbojet engines, with a combined thrust of 7,040 pounds, early test results indicated that it could reach speeds of over 550 mph even when loaded
