4. DE HAVILLAND VAMPIRE.

Abstract

The de Havilland Vampire was Britain's first post-war jet fighter, designed in response to a fear that Germany would develop jet bombers. It entered service with the Royal Air Force (RAF) in 1946 and was the fastest aircraft at the time, with a top speed of 540mph. The Vampire had a unique design with a twin-boom tail and oval fuselage, demonstrating British designers' ability to think outside the box. It served in various roles, including as a night-fighter, trainer, and ground-attack aircraft, in over 30 air forces worldwide. The Vampire's main armament consisted of four Hispano 20mm cannon, and it had a highly recognizable appearance with its short undercarriage and twin-tail design. [Extracted from the article]

Abstract

We know a great deal about the Royal Air Force's (RAF)'s bomber offensive. There is also an extensive library of autobiographies, memoirs and other primary sources telling the personal stories of a great many aircrew, some famous--such as Guy Gibson who led the Dam Busters Raid of 1943--and others not so famous--such as Howard Hewer's In For a Penny, In for a Pound, the story of a young man who flew in Nos. 148 and 218 Squadrons of the RAF. But few of those works have focused on the aircrew of individual aircraft because of the dearth of primary source material available to tell their stories. This is the saga of one such crew who flew a Halifax Mark III with No. 433 Squadron, Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF) and who did not survive the war. The heart of this story is based on the personnel records of these men, held at Library and Archives Canada in Ottawa. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

9. Conclusion: Challenges and Opportunities.

Subjects

Abstract

In the airpower domain, NATO faces a looming challenge but one which is also a potential opportunity if understood and adequately planned for. The current airpower dynamic in NATO, whereby many states provide fast jets to coalition operations but rely almost entirely on the US for enablers and munitions, is a weakness of the Alliance. A recognition that the US is moving towards a force design and China-focused CONOPS that may not be so appropriate for many smaller NATO members should prompt a mature debate about where non-US partners need to develop their own capacities, platforms and CONOPS.
