Educating Air Forces
Compared to armies and navies, which have existed as
professional fighting services for centuries, the technology that
makes air forces possible is much newer. As a result, these
services have had to quickly develop methods of preparing aviators
to operate in conditions ranging from peace or routine security to
full-scale war. The first book to address the history and scope of
air power professionalization through learning programs,
Educating Air Forces offers valuable new insight into
strategy and tactics worldwide.
Here, a group of international experts examine the philosophies,
policies, and practices of air service educational efforts in the
United States, France, Italy, Germany, Australia, Canada, and the
UK. The contributors discuss the founding, successes, and failures
of European air force learning programs between the Great War and
World War II and explore how the tense Cold War political climate
influenced the creation, curriculum, and results of various
programs. They also consider how educational programs are adapting
to soldiers' needs and the demands of modern warfare.
Featuring contributions from eminent scholars in the field, this
volume surveys the learning approaches globally employed by air
forces in the past century and evaluates their effectiveness.
Educating Air Forces reveals how experiential learning and
formal education are not only inextricably intertwined, but also
necessary to cope with advances in modern warfare.
