Kevin Laslie, a long-time supporter of the podcast, joins Sam on The Wild Initiative to talk about his Utah moose hunt and filling his first tag after years of struggle. With no luck in meeting other hunters through working at Cabela's, He finally connects with other hunters through the GoWild hunting app. Kevin ends up drawing a once-in-a-lifetime moose tag in Utah and planning with his guide. Although the pressure was on to harvest a giant bull, he drowned out the voices and chose his own measure of success. It's always an option to start with upland and waterfowl when getting into hunting and learning from others, how to pack out and dress animals, etc. In the end you'll never stop learning and each animal brings its own set of challenges so it's important to keep hunting hard for that success story that'll leave you proud and grateful.  See more on the show notes page at thewildinitiative.com/219 Learn more about your ad choices.

Gen. Laurence Kuter, was instrumental in the founding of the Air Force. Though not your typical "ace flyer", his organizational abilities and expert handling of crises - placed him at critical junctures in our 20th century military history. You'll hear how he was a key participant in many historical events, spanning pre-WW2 through the Cold War, and finishing his career as the 2nd commander of NORAD.  His fascinating life will be presented by Dr. Brian Laslie, currently the Command Historian at the United State Air Force Academy. You will also hear about Kuter's wife, Ethel Lyddon Kuter, who was both a true partner and accomplished in her own right. Laslie's biography on Kuter, "Architect of Air Power",  can be found on Amazon at this link. He also is a content contributor to the podcast series - From Balloons to Drones, which explores the development of airpower.

Air forces have a relationship with technology that is on a par with that of moths and flames, and the Vietnam air war was no exception. The post #WavellReviews “Air Power's Lost Cause – The American Air Wars of Vietnam” by Brian D. Laslie appeared first on Wavell Room.

In parallel efforts that in the Navy which led to Top Gun, the US Air Force looked hard at the lessons of air to air combat in the Vietnam War and brought forward "Red Flag,"Moving beyond the technical focus, they looked to training and fundamentals to bring back a primacy of combat skills.Our guest for the full hour to discuss this and his new book, The Air Force Way of War: U.S. Tactics and Training after Vietnam, will be Dr. Brian D. Laslie, Deputy Command Historian, North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD) and United States Northern Command (USNORTHCOM). A historian of air power studies, Dr. Laslie received his Bachelor’s degree in history from The Citadel: The Military College of South Carolina, his Master’s from Auburn University Montgomery in 2006 and his Doctorate from Kansas State University in 2013.Dr. Laslie was Honorably Discharged from the United States Air Force in 2007 as a Captain after serving as a logistics officer, doctrine instructor, and Action Officer to the Commander of Air University.

We have all seen pictures of the “Big Three” (Churchill, Roosevelt, Stalin) at their historic meeting Yalta in February 1945. The three leaders command the viewer’s attention, naturally, but in the background of the various versions of that photo are other important figures. One can glimpse George Marshall in some. Foreign ministers Eden and Molotov appear in others. American Admirals King and Leahy are there. And so is a U.S. Army Air Force general named Larry Kuter. Not exactly a household name, Kuter was an enormously influential figure, who richly deserves this excellent biography written by airpower expert, Brian Laslie: Architect of Air Power: General Laurence S. Kuter and the Birth of the U.S. Air Force (University Press of Kentucky, 2017). Dr. Laslie is the Deputy Command Historian at NORAD and US Northern Command and the author of another noteworthy book on the U.S. Air Force: The Air Force Way of War: U.S. Tactics and Training after Vietnam (2015), which I can also recommend. Laslie kept encountering Kuter’s name or photo as his work took him to Air Force bases and installations around the world and began to ask questions. Kuter was the co-author of AWPD-1, the first American plan for air war and a strong proponent of daylight, precision strategic bombing. He commanded American forces all over the world, served immediately under Harold George in the postwar Air Transport Command, which gave him responsibility, among other things, for the Berlin Airlift in 1948. He set up the United States Air Force Academy; he commanded NORAD; in retirement, he worked with Pan Am on the 747 project. And there was much more to Kuter’s story, as you can read in Laslie’s book after you enjoy our conversation here.
