FIGHTER PILOT GUNNERY does what is says on the tin, and through a text understandable to the layman and over 40 period illustrations and diagrams, explains how to target and shoot down German and Japanese enemy aircraft. The USAAF published numerous instructional manuals for its pilots and aircrew, designed to act as an aide memoire to their training, or as an update to the latest tactical developments. Due to its rarity, FIGHTER PILOT GUNNERY has never before been re-published so, for the first time since the Second World War discover: What is a deflection shot? How do you set the range on your N-9 gunsight? What is the most effective range to fire your fighter aircraft's M-2 Browning .50 machine guns?ABOUT THE AUTHORThe United States Army Air Force (USAAF or AAF) was the aerial warfare service component of the United States Army during and immediately after the Second World War. It was formed in 1941 as successor to the previous United States Army Air Corps, and was the direct predecessor of the United States Air Force, one of the six armed forces of the United States today. Various departments of the USAAF produced instructional handbooks, manuals and pamphlets such as 'Air Force Manuals' and 'Technical Orders', they were noteworthy for their level of detail, clarity and colourful graphic illustrations. The Army Air Forces School of Applied Tactics who produced FIGHTER PILOT GUNNERY was based at Orlando Army Air Base, Florida.

A British fighter pilot recounts his battles—in both wartime and peacetime. David Ince only managed to pass the RAF medical board on his third attempt—but this did not stop him from forging a highly successful aviation career. After flying Hurricanes and Mustangs at 41 OTU, he converted to Typhoons and flew with squadrons 193 and 257, from Normandy until the end of the conflict in Europe. He completed almost 150 sorties, and also took a leading part in trials, demonstrations, and the early operational use of napalm. In Brotherhood of the Skies, he recounts his story: his childhood as the son of a Great War veteran, moving from a farm to the squalid city of Glasgow; his determination to overcome obstacles in order to join the Royal Air Force; and his coming to terms after the war with his anger toward the enemy, as he went into the aircraft industry and formed relationships with ex-Luftwaffe pilots during peacetime. An outspoken examination of courage, fear, team spirit, and motivation—as well as a highly informed analysis of army cooperation, fighter ground attack, reconnaissance, and other topics—this is an intriguing memoir by a pilot and leader, filled with personal experience and hard lessons learned.

In the spring of 1957, Edward Mills was awarded the silver wings of a pilot in the United States Air Force. Because he finished first in his pilot training class, he had his pick of assignments. To his unbounded delight, on the list of openings was one that he, and many other brand new, single-engine jet pilots, coveted above all others: the opportunity to fly the storied North American F-86F Sabre, the great, air-to-air victory bird of the Korean War. This is his story, from his days in ROTC at Princeton, through a year of pilot training in Texas, to eventually flying non-combat missions in the Beautiful Sabre-and all that transpired in between.

This Book is a story of the life and times of a professional Fighter pilot. Where did he come from? What are the early life experiences that effected his abilities and capabilities to be a Great Fighter Pilot? What characteristics of a person and his experiences are important in becoming a leader of men and of becoming a superb fighter pilot? Why does this fighter pilot relegate himself to being the Third Best Fighter Pilot, rather than the first best? What is it like to be shot down in the jungles of North Burma, alone and with no help toward survival other than his own will? And later in that combat tour, how does one manage survival in the unending expanse of the Gobi Desert? What are the pressures that are forced upon the leader of a combat fighter squadron? How does he maintain a high morale in a unit when there are few positive factors available to assist? How are political pressures dealt with on a day to day basis? This book is a MUST READ for any young commander of fighter pilots. It's also a great read for those who are just interested in the subject of flying. The author's answers to all these questions are studies in perseverance, loyalty, dedication, and intense desire to do what many others would find impossible.

Second in the Aces High series—an updated military reference of the fighter pilots who had five or more confirmed victories while serving in the RAF. This volume updates the information in the first volume and adds some new names. Information has been added on the pilots who gained success against the V-1 flying bombs during 1944-45. Detail is also provided on those units in which virtually all the fighter pilots served at some time or another—the fighter Operational Training Units—and of specialist units such as the Central Gunnery School, Fighter Leader’s School and Fighter Experimental Units. There is also coverage of the only other conflicts in which British pilots have been able to claim victories since 1945—Korea and the Falklands Conflict. “There are some authors whose name alone is sufficient reason to but a book, and Christopher Shores is surely one of these . . . By profession a chartered surveyor, he served in the Royal Air Force in the 1950s so his writing bears the stamp of authenticity.” —HistoryNet
