La guerra mondiale si combatte anche nei cieli. In Galizia e in Francia i primi aviatori perdono la vita, mentre Churchill, in Inghilterra, è veloce a intuire che la guerra del futuro si farà bombardando gli obiettivi nemici.Seguimi su Instagram: @laguerragrande_podcastSe vuoi contribuire con una donazione sul conto PayPal: podcastlaguerragrande@gmail.comScritto e condotto da Andrea BassoMontaggio e audio: Andrea BassoFonti dell'episodio:Avro 504J & Avro 504K, BAE Systems  S.

How does someone know if military service is right for them? We have the luxury of making that decision for ourselves in this nation, and sometimes you just know it is the life for you, like the young man we are talking about here. Today we are saluting Michael Ian Castle of the United States Marine Corps. This salute was sent in my Michael's mother Stacy Castle who says Michael never had to make the decision to join the Corps because he ALWAYS knew that is was what he wanted to do. He knew that the Marine Corps was what he was meant to do; it's almost like he was born to wear the uniform. Castle had mentioned enlisting in the Marines several times throughout his teenage years, but his mom never really took him very seriously. She says "I just thought this was what teenage boys talked about." But at 17 years old, Michael was going to finish high school, and he told his mom he wanted to go straight to the Corps. She resisted at first because she was scared for her "little boy", but Michael explained to her that he was just going to join as soon as he turned 18 anyway, so all she would be doing was delaying his career. Stacy signed the parental authorization forms and Michael Ian Castle enlisted in the United States Marine Corps at 17. Stacy is so proud of her son: it’s been almost 6 years since she sent him off to boot camp and he is now a Corporal, and looking forward to a long career in the Corps. Thanks to Marines like Michael, and service men and women from all of our branches who make that commitment, America is as strong as ever. That is why today we salute Corporal Michael Ian Castle of the United States Marine Corps.

Austerlitz is one of Napoleon's greatest victories. Late in the season, at the end of a long and vulnerable supply line, deep into eastern Europe, Napoleon tempted the allied armies of Austria and Russia to attack his forces, on ground of his choosing, and inflicted on them a crushing defeat. Dan visited the battlefield for this podcast and accompanying History Hit TV tour, and he tells the story of the battle with help from historian Ian Castle author of Austerlitz: Napoleon and The Eagles of Europe.

For almost two years during the First World War, German airships roamed over the British countryside, bombing towns and villages without fear of a significant response from the aircraft assigned to defend the country. But all that changed in the late summer of 1916 when a new weapon was introduced, one that spelt the end of the Zeppelin menace.Ian Castle is the author of two books and a website detailing Germany's air campaign against Britain during the First World War (www.IanCastleZeppelin.co.uk).

Ten months into the First World War and the feared onslaught on London by Germany's fleet of airships - Zeppelins - had failed to materialise. There was sympathy for those killed or injured in air raids elsewhere, but these were far away and had little impact on Londoners. Then, shortly after 11pm on a Monday night in May 1915, all that changed…Using documents held at The National Archives, interspersed with personal stories of those who experienced that night, Ian Castle explores those terrifying 20 minutes when, for the very first time, London civilians found themselves on the front line.Ian Castle is author of two books detailing Germany's air campaign against the capital in the First World War - London 1914-17: The Zeppelin Menace and London 1917-18: The Bomber Blitz. He also runs a website covering all of the First World War air raids.
