Nearly every scholarly study of this era focuses on these developments, or upon the aircraft of the period; very few works describe precisely what the flyers were doing and how they overcame the difficulties they faced in creating air forces. This detailed, comprehensive volume fills this void for land-based aviation. While policy, organization, and doctrine form the background, they are not addressed or explained explicitly. Instead, this book focuses on men and planes, describing in the process how the Army Air Corps came to possess a supporting structure and the nationwide network of airfields. It exposes the difficulties encountered in training and organizing tactical units. However, Dr. Maurer does not write solely about problems and setbacks. Readers cross the country and the continents on the many dramatic record flights with the flyers of the Army Air Corps.</p><p>Planes covered include: Dehavilland DH-4, DH-9; Curtiss A-3B, Curtiss A-8, A-12, AT-4, AT-5, B-2, H-4, O-1, O-39, P-36, Northrop A-16, A-17, Douglas A-20, B-18, C-1, C-33, C-34, C-39, O-43, Lockheed P-38, C-12, C-40, Fokker AO-1, C-2, Sikorsky C-6, Stearman PT-13, Fairchild F-1, Keystone B-2, B-3, B-4, B-5, B-6, Bell FM-1, Boeing B-9, B-15, B-29, S.P.A.D.
