Name blacked out on early page. Trade paperback US. Glued binding. Various paginations. The Small Wars Manual is a United States Marine Corps manual on tactics and strategies for engaging in certain types of military operations. The Marine Corps' role in small wars has a long and complex history. During the early years of the 20th century the Corps was widely viewed as the nation's overseas police and initial response force. Moreover the actual execution of these roles were a natural adjunct of the Corps' officially directed mission of sea-based power projection in turn buttressed by its fundamental expeditionary operational character. As a result of this "natural fit" and the experience of a series of guerrilla wars in Central America and the Caribbean from the late 1890s through the early 1930s the Marine Corps began to systematically analyze the character and requirements of operations short of war proper or "Small Wars". The results of these efforts were encapsulated in the manual Small Wars Operations in 1935. For the 1940 revision it was renamed The Small Wars Manual SWM. A classic of military science it remains relevant today as the foundation of much current thinking and doctrine. Department of the Navy, United States Marine Corps paperback

196288374Washington DC: United States Department of the Air Force 1962. TO 1F-106A-1 The Flight Manual for the iconic F-106 A & B Delta Dart jet fighter of the US Air Force was published Feb 1 1962. Disbound nine-hole punched. Very good. The format is approximately 8.5 inches by 10.75 inches. Nine hole punched. Section V ONLY. 12 pages. Illustrations some with color. This includes: Instrument Markings Engine Limitations Airspeed Limitations Other Operating Limitations Maneuvers Acceleration Limitations Center of Gravity Limitations and Weight Limitations. The Convair F-106 Delta Dart was an all-weather interceptor aircraft designed and produced by the American aircraft manufacturer Convair. The F-106 was designed in response to the 1954 interceptor program. Envisioned as an imagined "Ultimate Interceptor" it was a development of the F-102 Delta Dagger and commenced as the F-102B prior to being redesignated by the United States Air Force USAF. The F-106 was designed without a gun or provision for carrying bombs instead carrying its AIM-4 Falcon air-to-air missiles within an internal weapons bay its clean exterior was beneficial to supersonic flight. Major differences from the F-102 included the adoption of the more powerful Pratt & Whitney J75 turbojet engine heavily redesigned air inlets along with a variable-geometry inlet duct to suit a wide range of supersonic speeds application of the area rule to the fuselage shaping and a general increase in size. On 26 December 1956 the first prototype performed its maiden flight. After flight testing demonstrated lesser performance gains than anticipated the USAF ultimately only ordered 350 of the planned 1000 F-106s. Becoming operational in June 1959 the F-106 was the primary all-weather interceptor aircraft of the USAF through much of the Cold War era; it ended up being the final specialist interceptor to be used by the service to date. It was never used in combat nor were any export opportunities secured. During the 1960s a competitive evaluation between the F-106 and the McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II determined the latter to be marginally superior yet the type continued to be operated for a further two decades due to extensive demand for the F-4 in other roles. Convair proposed various improved models of the F-106 typically focused on the radar communications and other avionics but none of these schemes were pursued. In one high-profile incident over Montana on 2 February 1970 an unmanned F-106 recovered from a flat spin after its pilot had ejected belly landing relatively intact in a snow-covered cornfield; it was recovered and continued to be flown for numerous years afterwards. The F-106 was gradually withdrawn from USAF service during the 1980s as the arrival of newer air superiority fighters particularly the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle had made the role of dedicated interceptors obsolete. Numerous F-106s would be operated for a time by the Air National Guard. Many withdrawn aircraft were promptly converted into target drones and redesignated QF-106 under the Pacer Six program which were used up in 1998. A handful of F-106s were operated by NASA for experimental purposes such as the Eclipse Project through to 1998. United States, Department of the Air Force unknown
