Chapter 4 – Air Power Goes to War
1939 - 1945
Today’s Mission Requirements
 Mission:

Describe in writing the role of the War Training Service
program.

Describe in writing the Army and the Air Corps strategy on
the use of air power during WWII.

Describe in writing the impact the North African air
campaign had on military air power.
 EQ:
What were some of the aviation developments during

Video of the Day
North African Campaign
US Air Power Spins Up
The
contract schools
increased their
production of pilots.
The
Civilian Pilot
Training Program
(CPTP) became the
CAA War Training
Service.
Over
300,000 pilots
were trained by 1944.
US Air Power Spins Up
In
1942, the Women’s
Auxiliary Ferrying
Squadron (WAFS)
was established.
These
female pilots
ferried aircraft to
various locations to
include overseas.
European Campaign – Grand
Strategy
Grand
strategy once
US entered the war was
to switch from defense
to offense.
Recapture territory
occupied by Germany
Finally force Germany
and Japan into
unconditional
surrender.
The European
campaign took
priority over the
Pacific.
European Campaign – Grand
Strategy
Army
and Air Corps
leaders viewed the
use of air power
differently.
Army viewed air
power to support
ground operations
(Large invasion in
France and then
fight into Germany).
European Campaign – Grand
Strategy
Air
Corps leaders
viewed the use of air
power differently
could be used for
supporting ground
troops
conduct long-range
bombing.
European Campaign – Grand
Strategy
Germans
lack of long
range bombing
capability is one
reason why they lost
the Battle of Britain.
The
US had the B-17
Fast as a fighter and
armed to defend
itself.
North African Campaign
The battle for North Africa was a struggle for control of the Suez Canal
and access to oil from the Middle East and raw materials from Asia.
Learning in North Africa
 The
Germans continually
won the early battles in
North Africa.
 Each US Army commander
acted independent – left
them outnumbered.
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.
Learning in North Africa
 By
1943, the Allies had
gained air superiority in
North Africa and won
the ground war too.
 The
German AfrikaKorps led by the
“Desert Fox” Field
Marshal Rommel felt the
effects as food, water,
fuel, ammunition and
replacements ran short.
 The
Axis forces were
defeated in Africa.
Learning in North Africa
Centralized
Control of Air Forces
allowed the following three (3)
priorities to happen:
Gain
Air Superiority
Attack enemy airfields,
maintenance facilities, fuel
supplies, and aircraft.
This
ensures air operations can
be conducted without enemy
resistance.
Learning in North Africa
Interdiction:
Cripple
enemy supply
lines, railroads, bridges,
highways, supply
dumps, troop
concentrations and
communications.
This
is to isolate the battle
area and prevent the
enemy from entering or
leaving the battlefield.
Learning in North Africa
Close
Ground Support:
Use air power to bomb
and strafe enemy troops
and gun positions and
provide air cover for
troop movements.
These
lessons are still in
use today.
Key
is centralized control
of air assets.
