"This document contains information affecting the national defense of the United States with the meaning of the Espionage Act 50 U.S.C. 31 and 32 as Amended. Its transmission or the revelation of its contents in any manner to an unauthorized person is prohibited by law." The present manual was primarily designed for self-instruction and general use but also served as a text in recognition course. It includes four types of material: black and shite silhouettes wash drawings protographs and editorial matter. Silhouettes are the foundation on which all recognition training is based. The first requirement in warfare is the ability to distinguish friend from foe. Nowhere is this more difficult than in the air. Owing to the great speeds and heights attained by modern aircraft recognition is frequently dependent on a momentary glimpse. In the same way instant and accurate recognition of surface craft mechanized ground equipment etc. is fraught with great difficulties owning to varying conditions of visibility distance and variety of types. Before the outbreak of this war few realized the grave problems of recognition that the increasing dominance of air power would present. The existence of these problems was soon apparent when after two months the casualties of the British Advance Air Striking Force in France amount to:--Shot down by the Germans eight; shot down by the French nine. In those days the only questions asked was "Is it in range' Since them mistakes in recognition on the sea on land and in the air have been too numerous to mentions. Usually these mistakes are attended by the most serious consequences. It is now fully realized that the only way to prevent these occurrences is by demanding the highest general level of proficiency in recognition throughout the services. This can only be attained by concentrated study. It is not suggested that practice will main one absolutely perfect with it will certainly go most of the way toward reducing the changes of a man being a danger not only to himself but to his comrades-in-arms. The Navy's problem at sea whether on warship or merchant ship is to know as soon as possible where any aircraft or ship within sight is friendly or hostile what type it is and how it is likely to attack and from that to estimate the best method of defense. The Army's problems are also varied. Antiaircraft gunners should be able to recognize any airplane within range or likely to come within range whether flying directly toward the battery or not. Instant recognition save lives and leads to the destruction of the enemy. The first thin to be appreciated is that recognition does not begin and end with appearance. It is also essential to recognize the exact type. U.S. Navy Department paperback

1938008357London: Cambridge University Press 1938. First edition. Hardcover. This first edition is the authors inscribed presentation copy to Winston S. Churchill. The work is the authors study of naval warfare between Britain and France in the early eighteenth century during the reign of Queen Anne. It was written concurrent to the authors work as a naval history research consultant to Churchill regarding the same period and is inscribed on the front free endpaper in black ink in five lines: The Right. Hon: W. S. Churchill from J. H. Owen 28 April 1938. <br /> <br />Condition is very good. The blue cloth binding is square tight and sharp-cornered with light scuffing mild spine toning and minor wrinkling to the spine head. The contents retain a crisp feel with quite light spotting primarily confined to the prelims and page edges. The endpapers show transfer browning from the pastedown and mild age-toning to the text block edges. <br /> <br />Commander John Hely Owen RN 1890-1970 served in the Royal Navy during Churchills tenure as First Lord of the Admiralty. Owen became a Lieutenant in 1912 and served as a submariner during the later years of the First World War. He rose to Lieutenant-Commander in 1920 while Churchill was Secretary of State for War and Air. Owen was with the Naval Intelligence Department in 1931 when Churchill first engaged him for research assistance and retired as a Commander in 1934 only to rejoin the Naval Intelligence Division in 1939 the year the Second World War began and Churchill returned to the Admiralty. In addition to authoring this book Owen was co-editor of four volumes of the Navy Records Society. Owens papers are held by the University of Cambridge including letters from Churchill to Owen while Owen was working as Churchills naval historical adviser and working on this his own book. <br /> <br />The gift of this book to Churchill was more than apropos. Firstly in April 1938 Churchill was just a few months away from publication of his fourth and final mammoth volume of the history of his great ancestor John Churchill who had become Captain-General and first Duke of Marlborough fighting for Queen Anne. Owen had been assisting Churchill with Marlborough in naval aspects of the work since the summer of 1931. Owen was among the small group of advisors explicitly credited; In the August 13 1938 Preface to the final volume Churchill wrote I have been greatly assisted in the necessary researches again by Commander J. H. Owen R.N. <br /> <br />Churchill the former cavalry officer would play a pivotal role in Britains Navy in both of the twentieth centurys world wars and the Admiralty would play a pivotal role in both imperiling and reviving Churchills political fortunes. <br /> <br />In October 1911 aged 36 Winston Churchill was appointed First Lord of the Admiralty. He entered the post with the brief to change war strategy and ensure the readiness of the worlds most powerful navy. He did both. Even Secretary of State for War Lord Kitchener with whom Churchill had been variously at odds for nearly two decades told Churchill on his final day as First Lord Well there is one thing at any rate they cannot take from you. The Fleet was ready." The World Crisis: 1915 p.391 Nonetheless when Churchill advocated successfully for a naval campaign in the Dardanelles that ultimately proved disastrous he was scapegoated and forced to resign leaving the Admiralty in May 1915. <br /> <br />Churchill spent part of his political exile as a lieutenant colonel leading a battalion in the trenches at the Front. Before war's end Churchill was exonerated by the Dardanelles Commission and rejoined the Government but the stigma of the Dardanelles lingered. <br /> <br />Churchill spent most of the 1930s out of power and out of favor warning against the growing Nazi threat and often at odds with both his Party leadership and prevailing public sentiment. As the Second World War approached Churchill passed into his sixties with his own future as uncertain as that of his nation. In 1938 when Owen inscribed this book to him and he was finishing his final volume of Marlborough Churchill may have wondered if the life history he was writing would eclipse his own. <br /> <br />Of course it did not. On 3 September 1939 Britain declared war on Germany formally entering what would become the twentieth centurys defining conflict not just for Britain but for the world. That same day Churchill was re-appointed First Lord of the Admiralty nearly a quarter of a century after he had been forced out. Eight months later he became Britains wartime prime minister. <br /> <br />References: Churchill Marlborough: Vol. IV; The University of Cambridge; Gilbert Vol. V <br/><br/> Cambridge University Press hardcover
