Podcasts about bigger bombs

Joining me in this episode is Dr. John Curatola, the Samuel Zemurray Stone Senior Historian at the National World War II Museum. John talks about "Big Week" which took place 80 years ago this week, from 20 to 25 February 1944, and how this began the shift in how we employed our air forces to try to better utilize this important "tool of war". We also see a shift in the Luftwaffe as they begin to accept the reality that they can no longer realistically keep up with the losses they are suffering, which is undermining the Axis ability to utilize their air power as a "tool of war".

Alex Moon which discusses the Combined Bomber Offensive, and also the next episode with Dr. Graham Cross on the Allied Fighters in Europe.

Welcome back to the Modern Scholar podcast! Our guest today is Dr. John Curatola, a retired Marine Corps officer of twenty-two years and a history professor at the Army Command and General Staff College. During his Marine Corps career he served in Somalia, Iraq, and was a lead planner for the 2005 Indian Ocean Tsunami Relief operation. He taught both joint operations and military history at Fort Leavenworth and was named the college's Instructor of the Year. His academic work focuses on World War II aviation and the early Cold War period. His first book, Bigger Bombs for a Brighter Tomorrow: The Strategic Air Command and American War Plans at the Dawn of the Atomic Age, 1945-1950,addressed the nature of the American atomic monopoly from 1945-1949. His lectures can be seen on both CSPAN and You tube and he has given numerous presentations at international history conferences. His most recent book, Autumn of Our Discontent: Fall 1949 and the Crises in American National Security, deals with the origins of NSC-68 and the events that occurred in the fall of 1949 leading to a change in the American military tradition of a small peacetime military. He is an FAA licensed pilot and an aviation enthusiast who considers himself a frustrated P-51 pilot that was born 40 years too late.

Listen to my reading of the text of a recent interview Attorney Sidney Powell had with Mike Huckabee. Powell dropped bombs on the CIA, Iran, Venezuela, China, and very important, powerful globalists and other extremely wealthy people who may have been involved in rigging this election. While she refrained from naming these bad actors by name, I’m sure we can all create a list of names that meet these descriptions. naturalnews.com TrendingPolitics.com & Trump.news --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/lillianperry/message

Conventional wisdom has long held the position that between 1945 and 1949, not only did the United States enjoy a monopoly on atomic weapons, but that it was prepared to use them if necessary against an increasingly hostile Soviet Union.  This was not exactly the case, our guest John M. Curatola argues in his book, Bigger Bombs for a Brighter Tomorrow: The Strategic Air Command and American War Plans at the Dawn of the Atomic Age, 1945-1950 (McFarland & Company, 2016).  Curatola is a professor of history at the United States Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas.  He presents the story of an ad hoc, frequently chaotic, strategic defense posture at the opening of the Cold War.  Inter-service rivalries, inter-agency bickering, and deficiencies in equipment, morale, and training all left the United States Air Force and the Atomic Energy Commission to pursue their own strategic plans, which Curatola notes were unrealistic, and in some cases, almost ludicrous.
