| Popis: | 99 Looking back at history, General Claire Lee Chennault was no doubt the best example of R.O.C-U.S.A military cooperation. General Chennault did not only organize the well known Flying Tigers during World War II to assist China in her war against the Japanese invasion, he also created the Civil Air Transportation to help the Chinese Nationalist Government in its war against the Communist. Since most people today focus much more about his works in tactical level, Chennault was never considered a great air power theorist or great aviators such as Giulio Douhet, Billy Mitchell, Henry Hap Arnold, James H. Doolittle and Curtis E. Lemay. In the United States, there were rarely military historians or scholars paying any attention to General Claire Lee Chennault’s air power theory, which was written by him during his earlier time with the United States Army Air Corps. By reading Chennault’s work, I like to examine Chennault’s theories of Protect, Detect, Interception, and Destruction and observe how Chennault actually implements his theories on the battlefield to determine what historical role General Claire Lee Chennault played during World War II. The goal of this thesis is not only to regard Chennault as a “Strategist”, but also tries to question whether there could be a better post war Asian Situation applied to the interests of both the Republic of China and the United States if Chennault had a chance to practice all his theories during the war. |
