Study sources A-D. Explain how useful these sources have been in informing you in your enquiry into the impact of new technology on methods of fighting in the air in WW1 and WW2. In this essay, I will explain how the impact of new technology (e.g. aircraft) on methods that were used to fight in the air in WW1 and WW2. As we can see from the date that Source A was made, we can recognize that it's a primary source, which was made on the 26th August 1914 (during WW1) by Lieutenant WR Read. This source is an extract from one of Read's diary entries, which Read reviews a previous mission he had been given, which was to reconnaissance in France of the German armed force's area and strategies, while likewise clarifying how he and his accomplice (Lieutenant Jackson) got to be outnumbered by the Germany armed force. During WW1 aircraft was only …show more content…
The purpose of Source A is for the personal benefits of Lieutenant WR Read, which was to remember what was happening in Le Cateau to be reported to higher officers in the British Army (e.g. a general), the purpose of this source could also be Lieutenant WR Read may want to make a memory of what he did and saw as a pilot during (WW1). Lieutenant WR Read explains how the German army outnumbered the British army with troops and aircraft. In this source, we learn that planes weren't used for fighting as they were easy to bring down.'' I watched one of our batteries put out of action, shell after shell burst on it ‘'. This source was made as a diary entry as he writes it in the first person we know that this source was made for his self-benefits, this makes the source more reliable as his doing this for himself as it's based on himself. This source is unreliable as some information is biased as British were allies with France and Russia. One more reason why this source maybe unreliable is the creator of
Topic: Our Topic for this assignment is the Hawker Hurricane, a British fighter plane that was mainly used in the Royal Air Force and the Battles fought by British and its Allies.
Question #5: Because of what full-blooded Japanese were given honorary Aryan status in the German Empire?
The name General Carl ‘Tooey’ Andrew Spaatz has become synonymous with the phrase air power and strategist. Air power has come along way since Wilbur and Orville launched the first airplane in 1902 in the city of Kitty Hawk. Famous engineers have taken the Wright-Brothers design and made great improvements to them while slowly integrating these new powerful means of transportation, weaponry and communication aids into the military. Since the onset of World War I there has been a debate on how to most effectively use these new airplanes in the Army’s collection. Most individuals believed that airplanes should be under control of the Army theater commander, while very
There were long term and short term causes of WWI. While the long term causes made war inevitable, the short term causes provided the spark that started the war. The first long term cause was the rise of nationalism. This was a general rise in pride for your country, and the belief that your country is better than anybody else’s. Many of the other causes of war contributed to the rise of nationalism, including imperialism, militarism, and the industrial revolution. Confederations of states that would eventually link up like Italy and Germany finally unified as one country. Instead of being split up, they were one force. Part of nationalism was militarism, because one of the ideal things to build up as a country is your military. Just think
(a) What, according to Source A, were the problems Germans had faced by the Canadian Army operating the artillery?
Both Documents 2 and 3 could give not just an explanation but also an image on what we had sent in order to help. Document 2 states, Within a year they have adopted, raised, armed, equipped, and sent to France several hundred thousand men, and all of this is only the beginning.”, while Document 3 shows us an image of American ships arriving in France with thousands and thousands of men boarded on them. These two documents together, form a clear statement and visual on what we know as what had been sent to France and what France were very grateful for. General Henri Pétain, along with the other French soldiers, greatly appreciated the effort that America has put in to help them through this
b. The availability of the P-51B since winter 1943 provides us with an escort fighter capable of for full escort to and from industrial centers deep inside the Third Reich, in addition to greatly increasing the potential duration of air cover missions for
How far is the extract similar to and different from your wider reading in the literature of world war one? You should consider the writers' choice of form, structure and language.
My research question is “How has World War II affected the growth of information technology and information gathering techniques?” During World War II (1939-1945), both the Allied and Axis forces developed methods to uncover more information about their enemies, as well as protect themselves from this espionage. This drive to develop their information led to creation of communication and information technologies, as well as techniques. To determine how specifically the information technologies had growth, this paper investigated different espionage tactics that were developed, as well as new communication technologies, and information defense technologies.
Summary At the outbreak of World War I, the primarily use of aircraft was as reconnaissance aircraft for surveying the battlefield and enemy supply routes. Soon, aviators began to take weapons aloft to shot back at those on the ground shooting at them and to fire on enemy aircraft. As the war progressed so did the rapid evolution of aircraft, each side developing aircraft that are more specialized, large bombs to assault the supply routes and command centers, improved reconnaissance aircraft, and the fighter. It was the fighter that Problem: Improve the accuracy of the guns mounted on fighter aircraft. The significance of the problem: To provide the best possible accuracy the machine gun.
The First World War saw new technologies such as machine guns, automatic rifles, flame throwers, anti-aircraft guns, poison gases, gas masks, advancement in aircraft technology, tanks, and advancement in naval technologies, including the submarine. New techniques such as "flash spotting" and "sound ranging" also began being used to locate enemies from long distances. World War I was somewhat of a race for technology. With the new tactics of fighting being used in the war, new technologies had to be invented to suit these tactics. Some examples are the tank's invention to fight the trench warfare, or the anti-aircraft gun being invented to battle the new technologies of aviation. As one nation would introduce technology, the other nations would work to improve these technologies, or work to invent new technologies to defend against the previous
I chose to evaluate the article written by Dr. Bernard Wilkin, titled "Aerial warfare during World War One." The article is a part of a project themed "The War Machine", published online by The British Library. The article captured my interest largely due to the huge amount of information and facts cited in the article comprising the use of aviation in World War One.
