About This Item
College Station: Texas A&M University Press [1-58544-104-X] 2001. (Hardcover) Fine in fine dust jacket. 218pp. Photographs, notes, illustrations, bibliography, index. "Although the American mlitary establishment has long been intimately tied to its technology, the nature of those ties has varied enormously from service to service. The Air Force, for example, evokes images of pilots operating high-tech weapons systems, striking precisely from out of the blue to lay waste to enemy installations. The fundamental icon for the Marine Corps, on the other hand, is an assaulting wave of riflemen hitting the beaches from rugged landing craft and slogging their way ashore under enemy fire. How did these very different relationships with technology develop?". Time Period 1920's, 1930's & 1940's. (Military, Air Force, Marine Corps, Military Technology, Military--United States, Technology, United States Air Force, United States Marine Corps).
