What I found to be the particular value of this study of the Signal Corps as the air arm of the U.S. Army, is that the author turns an analytic eye on all the participants in this sorry tale, as the aviation enthusiasts produced a victor's history of this organizational adventure. There was much to castigate, but it's also the case that the behavior of the pilots often did not bear close analysis either. In the end, aviator arrogance and the self-serving empire building of the leadership of the Signal Corps produced a combustible mixture, resulting in an outcome where the Corps hierarchy nominally chastised the dissidents, but found themselves discredited. Though it really took the failures of American aviation in 1917-1918 to produce the U.S. Army Air Corps. It is to be admitted that this is a rather dry study, but Messimer is very careful in pulling together the fragments of a poorly understood incident. ( ) aucune critique | ajouter une critique
""An Incipient Mutiny" traces the creation of the U.S. Army Signal Corps Aeronautical Division in 1907 up to the establishment of the Air Service of the National Army in 1918. It is a shocking account of shortsightedness, mismanagement, criminal fraud, and cover-up that led ultimately to a pilot revolt against the military establishment. Dwight R. Messimer focuses on the personalities of the pilots who initiated the rebellion and on the Signal Corps officers whose mismanagement brought it on." Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
