New York: Harper & Brothers, 1946. First Edition [stated], presumed first printing. Hardcover. ix, [3], 324 pages. Illustrations. Table. Index, Pencil erasure residue on fep. Name of previous owner in ink inside front cover. Foreword by Lt. Gen. Harold L. George, Commanding General, Air Transport Command. "Through the Eyes of an Admiral' by Vice Admiral Emory S. Land. This story of the Air Transport Command and the Naval Air Transport Service is based on official records and is well illustrated. Harold Lee George (July 19, 1893 – February 24, 1986) was an American aviation pioneer who helped shape the concept of daylight precision bombing. George taught at the Air Corps Tactical School and influenced a significant group of airmen, ones who had powerful influence during and after World War II. He was the leader of the Bomber Mafia, the men who advocated an independent military arm composed of heavy bombers. George helped shape America's bomber strategy by assisting Air War Plans Division with the development of a complete aircraft production and bombing strategy. More
Lexington, KY: The University of Kentucky Press, 1972. Presumed First Edition, First printing. Hardcover. ix, [1], 326 pages. Footnotes. Bibliographical Essay. Index. Ex-library copy with the usual library markings. Sticker residue inside front cover and on the fep. Stamp on top edge. DJ has some wear and soiling. This was published for the Organization of American Historians. John Garry Clifford (1942 – 26 March 2014) was an American historian and professor of Political Science at the University of Connecticut. Clifford has served on the editorial board of Diplomat History as well as on the editorial board of the Modern War Series of the University Press of Kansas. "The Citizen Soldiers" explores the military reform movement that took its name from the famous Business Men's Military Training Camps at Plattsburg, New York. It also illuminates the story of two exceptional men: General Leonard Wood, the former Rough Rider who galvanized the Plattsburg Idea; and Grenville Clark, a Wall Street lawyer. The Plattsburg camps strove to advertise the lack of military preparation in the United States and stressed the military obligation every man owed to his country. Publicized by individuals who voluntarily underwent military training, the preparedness movement rapidly took shape in the years prior to America's entry into the First World War. Far from being war hawks, the Plattsburg men emphasized the need for a "citizen army" rather than a large professional establishment. Their vision of a citizen army was largely realized in the National Defense Act of 1920, and their efforts helped to establish selective service as the United States' preferred recruitment method.
