CHOICE -"This is a useful but narrowly cast work because Gooderson does not really analyze the relative effectiveness of the strategic air offensive at this late stage in the war" Canadian Military History- "marks the first serious attempt in book form to both analyze and quantify the effects and effectiveness of allied close air support in western Europe during the Second World War...highly recommended for its plethora of statistics and extensive use of primary documents" The International History Review-"Having dug through an impressive list of sources including contemporary ooperational researches (US analyses), Gooderson is able to marshall evidence effectively to make his points." The Journal of Strategic Studies, Vol 22, No 1, March 1999 "This is an excellent work ... This book is an essential read for air power and Second World War scholars, and also to anyone interested in today"s joint service environment.
Synopsis
Ian Gooderson presents a study of close air support in World War II, with the analysis focusing on the use of tactical air power by British and American forces during the campaigns in Italy and northwestern Europe between 1943 and 1945., A study of close air support in World War II, with the analysis focusing on the use of tactical air power by British and American forces during the campaigns in Italy and northwestern Europe between 1943 and 1945., Gooderson addresses the fundamental questions of whether the employment of air resources in the close support role provided sufficient advantage at the battlefront to justify the expenditure of effort and the risk to aircraft and pilots, and whether air support proved to be of more value - and more cost effective - when directed upon interdiction targets behind the lines, such as German communications, transport and supplies. The principal sources consulted were contemporary Army and Air Force formation and unit records and reports, and contemporary Allied Operational Research material. The book examines the nature of Operational Research in the period, the joint Air Force/Army systems established by both the British and Americans for providing and controlling air support, the characteristics of fighter-bomber aircraft and the organisation and tactics of fighter-bomber units. This precedes an analysis of close air support for mobile and airborne operations, the employment of fighter-bombers against German armoured forces, the use of heavy and medium bombers in the close support role, the comparative effectiveness of fighter-bombers and ground artillery and the effectiveness of fighter-bombers in the interdiction role.
