World War II
The
Treaty of
Versailles prevented
Germany from
building military
aircraft after WWI.
However, they were
allowed to build
civilian aircraft
…which they did.
World War II
This
is how they
built their air force
for WWII.
In 1932, had 1500
trained pilots and
over 3,000 in trng
By
1935, the
Luftwaffe, the
German Air Force,
was officially
formed.
World War II
Mussolini
had built
Italy’s Air Force too.
Had only 100 in
1922 and had over
2,600 when WWII
started
The
Italians were
ready for WWII.
An MC-205, among the best WW2 Italy airplanes
World War II
The
Japanese had
two air forces.
1919 French trained
Japanese Army
1920 built first
aircraft carrier
British trained in
carrier ops
The Army and the Mitsubishi A6M Kawasaki Ki-100
Navy – both were Reisen (Zero)
ready.

Allied Preparedness
At
the end of WWI,
England, France, and
the United States had
the most powerful air
forces in the world.
However,
they all cut
back after the war.
So
while WE were
cutting back the Axis
powers were
rebuilding.

Pearl Harbor
Japan’s
needed to

Plan
was to eliminate

The
attack was a
complete surprise and
the losses were
staggering.
Japanese destroyed:
96 Army / 96 Navy
aircraft and damaged
159 more

Learning in North Africa
The
allies went to a
centralized control of
aircraft, which
allowed more planes
to come to the aid of
an attacked army.
This
worked so well
Roosevelt and
Churchill adopted
this for the entire
European Theater.

Video of the Day
B-17 Bombing
Developing a Strategy
(for air power)
 Beginning
of WWII
many theories existed
of how to use air power.
 Italian Air Marshal
Giulio Douhet said to
gain air supremacy with
a massive first strike; a
surprise attack on the
enemy’s aircraft.
 Attack population and
they would give in – no
large ground war would
be necessary.
Developing a Strategy
(for air power)
Hugh Trenchard –
“Father of the RAF” believed the proper
force mix was twothirds bomber aircraft
and one-third fighter.
 He disagreed with
Douhet on what targets
to hit.
 Trenchard thought air
power should knock out
vital centers, like
factories – workers have
no where to work destroy will to fight
 Sir
Developing a Strategy
(for air power)
American
General Billy
Mitchell thought air
power should take the
war to the enemy’s
cities.
He thought:
20% should be
bombers
20% attack aircraft
 60% fighter aircraft
Navy should have at
least 20 aircraft carriers.
Developing a Strategy
(for air power)
All
three had agreed
in long range
bombing and they
could get to targets
unmolested.
The RAF did not
agree and had tried
early in the war and
changed to nighttime
after losses by
German anti-aircraft
and fighters.
Developing a Strategy
(for air power)
American
Claire
Chennault did not
believe that the
bomber could get
through.
Developing a Strategy
(for air power)
The
US developed the
Norden bombsight –
which placed bombs
accurately on target.
US
theory was that a
well-armed bomber
could fly high over
enemy guns.
Developing a Strategy
(for air power)
US
developed an
unescorted high
altitude, daylight,
precision bombing,
while the British
bombed at night.
This gave round-theclock bombing of
German targets.
The Combined Bomber Offensive
In
the beginning, first
priority targets were
submarine factories,
docks and ports.
The Combined Bomber Offensive
Second
priority
targets were aircraft
factories and
munitions plants.
The Combined Bomber Offensive
Third
priority targets
were communications
and transportation
systems.
B-17 Bomb Rack Diagram
The Combined Bomber Offensive
successful –
BUT - by late
summer, of 1943, the
American bombers
were getting chewed
up by the Luftwaffe.
The US lost 92
bombers in 6
missions from July 24
– July 30.
Each bomber has a
crew of 10 – which
equates to over 900
aircrew lost
Initially
The Combined Bomber Offensive
Aug
17 - over 60
bombers were lost
and during Oct over
148 bombers were
lost
The
Luftwaffe’s
fighters forced the US
to stop the air raids
and to reconsider the
unescorted, highaltitude, daylight,
precision bombing
The Combined Bomber Offensive
P-51
Mustangs began
escorting the
bombers and chased
enemy fighters, too.
They were equipped
with modified extra
fuel tanks that could
drop off
This allowed the
bombers to get deep
into Germany and
bomb Berlin.
The Combined Bomber Offensive
March
4, 1944 was the
first raid on Berlin.
Priority
targets were
fighter-manufacturing
facilities and oil
refineries.
The
most important
product of the new
offensive was air
superiority.
The Combined Bomber Offensive
The
new tactics
combined with the
bombing of the oil
refineries hurt the
Luftwaffe.
Aviation
fuel became
scarce for the
Luftwaffe and now
the Americans were
gaining the upper
hand.
The Combined Bomber Offensive
The
Luftwaffe ruled
the air over Europe
no more.
