The U.S. Army entered World War II unprepared. In addition, lacking Germany\'s blitzkrieg approach of coordinated armor and air power, the army was organized to fight two wars: one on the ground and one in the air. Previous commentators have blamed Congressional funding and public apathy for the army\'s unprepared state. David E. Johnson believes instead that the principal causes were internal: army culture and bureaucracy, and their combined impact on the development of weapons and doctrine.Johnson examines the U.S. Army\'s innovations for both armor and aviation between the world wars, arguing that the tank became a captive of the conservative infantry and cavalry branches, while the airplane\'s development was channeled by air power insurgents bent on creating an independent air force. He maintains that as a consequence, the tank\'s potential was hindered by the traditional arms, while air power advocates focused mainly on proving the decisiveness of strategic bombing, neglecting the mission of tactical support for ground troops. Minimal interaction between ground and air officers resulted in insufficient cooperation between armored forces and air forces.Fast Tanks and Heavy Bombers makes a major contribution to a new understanding of both the creation of the modern U.S. Army and the Army\'s performance in World War II. The book also provides important insights for future military innovation. Interviews by Jesse Stone and Karen Reeves for the Library of Congress. Writeups by Karen Reeves. Fireman First Class James D. Smith. U.S. Navy. . James D. Smith was only 17 years old when he enlisted in the U.S. Navy on July 9, 1945. Following boot camp at Bainbridge, Md., he was sent to Ft. McHenry near Baltimore and was eventually assigned to the aircraft carrier, the U.S.S. Randolph CV-15, where he monitored pumps and repacked valves as an engineer in the Main Machinery Division. He would make a three day journey across the Atlantic on a mission to Naples to return 3000+ Italian POW’s who had spent part of the war in American POW camps stateside. Though minesweepers had cleared a path into the Naples, one distinct memory was of the twisted remains of ships bombed in the harbor. Smith also recalled the desperation of the Italian people who had little food and were living in the bombed out remains of what once had been a beautiful city. He recalls cigarettes being sold for $30 a carton because of shortages brought on by the war. The Randolph, which had a crew of 3300+ sailors, picked up 7250 U.S. soldiers for the return trip to the U.S. and docked in New York harbor on Christmas Day, 1945. Smith would make two such trips to Naples before leaving the service and settling in Waynesboro to become Superintendent of the Burke County school system.
