, Christopher E. Haave and Phil M. Haun, AU Press e-book. 2003, 364 pages, 6,9 MB
The NATO-led Operation Allied Force was fought in 1999 to stop Serb  atrocities against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo. This war, as noted by the  distinguished military historian John Keegan, "marked a real turning  point . . . and proved that a war can be won by airpower alone."  Colonels Haave and Haun have organized firsthand accounts of some of the  people who provided that airpower—the members of the 40th Expeditionary  Operations Group. Their descriptions—a new wingman's first combat  sortie, a support officer's view of a fighter squadron relocation during  combat, and a Sandy's leadership in finding and rescuing a downed F-117  pilot—provide the reader with a legitimate insight into an air war at  the tactical level and the airpower that helped convince the Serbian  president, Slobodan Milosevic, to capitulate.

This study conclude that the Air Attack Team Regiment, as a part of the  corps aviation brigade, is the option that provides the Army with the  best utilization of the A-10. The AATR combines the two main elements of  a highly successful combat team- attack helicopters (AH-64's) and  A-10's- into one organization.

, Col Darrel D. Whitcomb, AU Press e-book. 2006, 325 pages, 11,1 MB
Budgetary,  political, and organizational changes left the USAF   unprepared for the combat search  and rescue (CSAR) mission going into   Desert Storm.  Colonel Whitcomb relates his and others'  experiences   from CSAR in Southeast Asia and  examines the organization that was   established to provide CSAR services in the  Iraq-Kuwait theater of   operations. He traces each incident from beginning to  end along with   the tactical and sometimes strategic implications. Scores of    interviews, e-mails, and published works provide a compendium of lessons    learned and recommendations gleaned from those who flew the missions   and made  the decisions in Iraq.



, Gary Robert Lester, AU Press e-book. 1997, 296 pages, 1,6 MB
Dr. Lester traces the evolution of US close air support,                  with special emphasis on Korea and Vietnam. He discusses the differing  views of                 the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force at  some length and compares close                 air support in these two  conflicts. The author notes the need for close air                  support in the Gulf War and explores the future of close air support. He                  punctuates this history and analysis with dramatic  experiences of those who made                 it happen.



, Phil M. "Goldie" Haun, AU Press e-book. 2004, 92 pages, 2 MB
Lt Col Haun examines two groups of airmen--the Misty forward air  controllers (FAC)  of Vietnam from 1967 to 1970 and the A-10 FACs over  Kosovo in 1999. He compares  the tactics used in these two cases in  'which US airpower was required to attack  enemy forces independent of  friendly ground troops. In the Vietnam War, Air  Force O-1 and O-2 FAC  began flying visual reconnaissance missions over the  southern area of  North Vietnam. A comparison of the Misty and A-10 FAC missions  clearly  demonstrates a failure of the USAF to develop a full range of suitable   tactics for the direct attack of enemy fielded forces. Drawing from the  lessons  of the Misty and A-10 FACs, Colonel Haun's recommendations  focus on equipment,  tactics and training, and doctrine. Haun warns that  airmen should understand  there is no silver bullet for the challenge  of target identification. No single  piece of equipment or advance in  technology will solve the problem. Airmen must  first develop the proper  doctrine and tactics, then take their equipment and  trains as  realistically as possible. Only then can USAF reach its potential for   defeating an enemy army in the field.

Excellent articles on Close Air Support, most relevant to this topic is  "Data Link CAS: Terminology and Application", page 19-24.



a history of the U.S. Air Force's dedicated close air support plane,  Campbell, Douglas Norman, 1999, 621 pages, 51,6 MB
The best close air support plane is not the latest and fastest fighter.   It is instead a slower and more durable tactical plane. Air combat   history confirms this conclusion, but the mission and its plane's   existence rely upon the historical, technological, and procurement   outlooks of the two services- the Army and the Air Force-involved in  this truly joint mission.

     Com certeza é um acervo bastante útil. O que falta agora é um bom curso de inglês ou um tradutor para poder tirar proveito das informações.  ^_^
