Aerial landscape art

advance through the air. The Battle of Britain was also the proving ground for many new innovations and tactics that were newly introduced to air warfare. This created a new dimension to the ever complex view of aerial combat and forced Allied and Axis leaders to adapt to the changing landscape, a task the Dowding performed well enough to earn victory. One such technological innovation was the creation of the radio detection and ranging, or RADAR. This new piece of technology emitted radio…

troops, tanks and ships. This was because “the access [an airplane] provides makes it a faster, more flexible, and more precise than any other form of military power.” Before the 20th century, not a single nation had the efficient technology for aerial bombardments on a large scale. However, even before strategic bombing became a regular tactic used in war, generals were beginning to realize the calculated importance that these types of attacks would…

Apex Sketch takes a sketch export out of your assessing.net database and creates a GIS building shapefile map layer. From this sketch file you overlay a aerial photo and the sketch variances from the actual aerial photo stand out like a sore thumb when they are set at the same scale. Apex has a sketch technician that painstakingly reviews each property, parcel by parcel. I had previously done similar work while working in the Monroe County Equalization Department under Mike Woolford. Mike…

Since the beginning of human confrontation, men used products of technology to confront each other in conflicts and wars. Invention of sward, bow and arrow, gunpowder and other further technological inventions changed wars throughout the history, but invention of an airplane changed it dramatically creating an airpower. When we look at the airpower today, we can define it as a use of all available relevant technology for commanders to use in air, space, and cyberspace. That definition is…

After airpower’s contribution during the First World War and its impact on the stalemate that had developed, some people recognized its great potential, and began to envision its use in future conflicts. These theorists, or visionaries, began to think how to develop further airpower, and how it could be best used in the future warfare. During the interwar years, their prophecies and predictions not only shaped airpower development, but influenced tactics and strategies during the Second…

“I had to do something” –General Curtis E. LeMay Thesis Major General Curtis LeMay’s role as the commander of the XXI Bomber Command influenced the victory against Japan by his ultimate success in the areas of strategic, operational and tactical levels of warfare. Without LeMay’s innovation and gallantry the United States’ air warfare tactics would have continued to be ineffective against the Japanese homeland. LeMay’s focus on the Pacific theater of operation while commanding led to the largest…

While the attack role is the essential of airpower, the control of the air role is the most important one. Control of the air ensures the desired level of freedom of actions and safety. There are some disputes about what is more suitable to be used – control of the air or counter-air for the name this role. The supporters of “counter-air” [15] as a role advocate with the argument that “control of the air” is an effect, delivered by this role. This flows from the simplified understanding of the…
