The RAF's Air War In Libya

New Conflicts in the Era of Austerity

By: Dave Sloggett

The uprising in Libya in the spring of 2011 took the world by surprise. The Gaddafi regimes brutal attempts at suppressing the uprising, however, soon prompted the international community to respond. NATO agreed to impose a no-fly zone across Libya, which was led by Britain, France and the USA.For the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, the deployment of RAF and Royal Navy assets in support of UN Resolution 1973, came at a time when severe cuts to the UKs defense spending were in the process of being enacted. With the Royal Navy aircraft carriers and their Harrier jets no longer available, would the UK be able to mount operations 3,000 miles away?In this, the first book to analyze the Libyan campaign, David Sloggett details the causes of the uprising, and examines each stage of the war through to its termination with the death of Colonel Gaddafi.In conclusion, Dr. Sloggett considers the future prospects for a post-Gaddafi Libya and, more significantly, how NATO in general and Britain in particular, will respond to similar events in the future.

A Century of Air Power

The Changing Face of Warfare, 1912–2012

By: Dave Sloggett

An extensive history of the first century of aerial warfare, covering the every major conflict including the two world wars. No other technical development since the introduction of gunpowder has had as great an influence on warfare as the aircraft. From its early beginnings as simply a means of aerial reconnaissance to its utter supremacy on the battlefield, the aircraft has evolved into the most versatile and precise killing machine known to man. In this wide-ranging and comprehensive study, David Sloggett, an internationally-respected defence analyst, investigates the changing role and increasing significance of air power over the course of the previous 100 years. This is accomplished by detailing every major conflict during that period including not only the two world wars and the recent conflicts in the Middle East but also the Korean War, the Cuban Missile Crisis, the Falklands War and Russian use of air power in Afghanistan. Air power’s role in Malaya, Oman, Kenya and in Northern Ireland is also explained. A Century of Air Power is the most important study of the use of military aircraft ever undertaken and as such provides valuable lessons for the future—not only for the commanders who have to apply these all-powerful weapons but also for the politicians who have to determine its use.

Drone Warfare

The Development of Unmanned Aerial Conflict

By: Dave Sloggett

An unmanned aerial vehicle, commonly known as a drone, is an aircraft without a human pilot on board. Its flight is either controlled autonomously by computers in the vehicle, or under the remote control of a navigator or pilot on the ground or in another vehicle. Drone Warfare is one of the first books to examine the development and use of such aerial drones. Drones have been much maligned in the media and popular culture and there has been much controversy over their deployment. This book reveals the history of unmanned aircraft, their recent development, and why they have emerged onto the scene, setting the record straight about drones and their use. Drone Warfare answers questions such as: Why did the United States invest so highly drone technology? When did all that start? What barriers had to be overcome? What was there before drones arrived? What roles did drones play in Iraq and Afghanistan? Were they successful? What new developments emerged during operations? Did they save lives? How many have been shot down and where? Will all air forces be drone based in the future? What other applications may arise in the civilian market? In a timely publication, Drone Warfare sets the record straight on unmanned aerial vehicles and explores technology and usage around the globe. Skyhorse Publishing, as well as our Arcade imprint, are proud to publish a broad range of books for readers interested in history--books about World War II, the Third Reich, Hitler and his henchmen, the JFK assassination, conspiracies, the American Civil War, the American Revolution, gladiators, Vikings, ancient Rome, medieval times, the old West, and much more. While not every title we publish becomes a New York Times bestseller or a national bestseller, we are committed to books on subjects that are sometimes overlooked and to authors whose work might not otherwise find a home.

Leaf beetles

By: Dave Hubble

Leaf beetles are one of the largest groups of beetles, with tens of thousands of species worldwide and around 280 in Britain. They belong mainly to the family Chrysomelidae, but also to two small closely related families, the Megalopodidae and Orsodacnidae. This book provides a comprehensive overview with detailed and accessible coverage of the natural history, ecology and biology of leaf beetles. Topics cover the life history of leaf beetles, biology, their environment, natural enemies and interactions with humans. There is a thorough discussion about identification of British species, including detail on the juvenile stages (eggs, larvae, pupae) and a concise key to adults. A chapter is dedicated to study techniques and materials. The book is illustrated throughout with colour photographs and line drawings. Leaf beetles is a vital resource for entomology students and educators, naturalists, nature conservationists, those involved in agriculture, horticulture and the management of stored produce.

The NATO Campaign in Afghanistan - 2006 - 2014

By: Dave Sloggett

NATO's campaign in Afghanistan has been its most extensive deployment. It has consumed a vast amount of blood and treasure. It is therefore right to analyse in detail the twists and turns of the campaign and how its political and military focus changed over time. As the time for NATO to withdraw approaches it is right to conduct a forensic examination of the campaign and highlight its successes and failures. It has been one of the longest running wars in history who outcome is still far from certain. Much has been written about the development of counter insurgency doctrine around the ideas of countering an insurgency and British history in this field in Malaya, Indonesia, Yemen and Kenya as well as Northern Ireland. Insights from these historical campaigns were however quickly found wanting. Times had changed significantly. The way the media works today fundamentally changes the way warfare can be conducted. It is as if every soldier in combat has a camera on his shoulder. Those charged with developing new doctrines for the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan concluded the history books provided little insight into a form of warfare that used the media in such effective ways to attempt to limit the freedom of manoeuvre of the superior party to the conflict. The campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq were notable for the emergence of new doctrinal ideas whilst 'in contact'. The ways the wars were being conducted literally were being formulated on the hoof.
