The Treaty of Versailles prevented Germany from building military aircraft after WWI.
However, they were allowed to build civilian aircraft …which they did.
World War IIWorld War II
This is how they built their air force for WWII.
In 1932, had 1500 trained pilots and over 3,000 in trng
By 1935, the Luftwaffe, the German Air Force, was officially formed.
World War IIWorld War II
Mussolini had built Italy’s Air Force too.
Had only 100 in 1922 and had over 2,600 when WWII started
The Italians were ready for WWII.

An MC-205, among the best WW2 Italy airplanes
The Japanese had two air forces.
1919 French trained Japanese Army

At the end of WWI, England, France, and the United States had the most powerful air forces in the world.
However, they all cut back after the war.
So while WE were cutting back the Axis powers were rebuilding.

Japan’s needed to gain air superiority to attack Fleet with little or no interference.
Plan was to eliminate force by surprise attacks while aircraft was on the ground.
Pearl HarborPearl Harbor
The attack was a complete surprise and the losses were staggering. Japanese destroyed:
96 Army / 96 Navy aircraft and damaged 159 more
Only 6 Army fighters and 36 Navy aircraft got in the air

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.

B-17 Bombing
Beginning of WWII many theories existed of how to use air power.
Italian Air Marshal Giulio Douhet said to gain air supremacy with a massive first strike; a surprise attack on the enemy’s aircraft.
Attack population and they would give in – no large ground war would be necessary.
Developing a Strategy Developing a Strategy (for air power)(for air power)
Sir Hugh Trenchard – “Father of the RAF” - believed the proper force mix was two-thirds bomber aircraft and one-third fighter.
He disagreed with Douhet on what targets to hit.
Trenchard thought air power should knock out vital centers, like factories – workers have no where to work - destroy will to fight
Developing a Strategy Developing a Strategy (for air power)(for air power)
American General Billy Mitchell thought air power should take the war to the enemy’s cities.
He thought: 20% should be bombers 20% attack aircraft 60% fighter aircraft
Navy should have at least 20 aircraft carriers.
Developing a Strategy Developing a Strategy (for air power)(for air power)
All three had agreed in long range bombing and they could get to targets unmolested.
The RAF did not agree and had tried early in the war and changed to nighttime after losses by German anti-aircraft and fighters.

American Claire Chennault did not believe that the bomber could get through.

The US developed the Norden bombsight – which placed bombs accurately on target.
US theory was that a well-armed bomber could fly high over enemy guns.
Developing a Strategy Developing a Strategy (for air power)(for air power)
US developed an unescorted high altitude, daylight, precision bombing, while the British bombed at night.
This gave round-the-clock bombing of German targets.

In the beginning, first priority targets were submarine factories, docks and ports.

Second priority targets were aircraft factories and munitions plants.

Third priority targets were communications and transportation systems.

B-17 Bomb Rack Diagram
Initially successful – BUT - by late summer, of 1943, the American bombers were getting chewed up by the Luftwaffe.
The US lost 92 bombers in 6 missions from July 24 – July 30.
Each bomber has a crew of 10 – which equates to over 900 aircrew lost
The Combined Bomber OffensiveThe Combined Bomber Offensive
Aug 17 - over 60 bombers were lost and during Oct over 148 bombers were lost
The Luftwaffe’s fighters forced the US to stop the air raids and to reconsider the unescorted, high-altitude, daylight, precision bombing
The Combined Bomber OffensiveThe Combined Bomber Offensive
P-51 Mustangs began escorting the bombers and chased enemy fighters, too.
They were equipped with modified extra fuel tanks that could drop off
This allowed the bombers to get deep into Germany and bomb Berlin.
The Combined Bomber OffensiveThe Combined Bomber Offensive
March 4, 1944 was the first raid on Berlin.
Priority targets were fighter-manufacturing facilities and oil refineries.
The most important product of the new offensive was air superiority.
The Combined Bomber OffensiveThe Combined Bomber Offensive
The new tactics combined with the bombing of the oil refineries hurt the Luftwaffe.
Aviation fuel became scarce for the Luftwaffe and now the Americans were gaining the upper hand.
The Combined Bomber OffensiveThe Combined Bomber Offensive
The Luftwaffe ruled the air over Europe no more.
