Compared with the South China Sea, in the East China Sea there are fewer contested features, none controlled by the PRC far from its shores, and hence fewer permissive locations for PAFMM personnel to engage in marine economic activities—a domain that greatly facilitates the scope, variety, and “justification” of their operations in the South China Sea. The chapter also presents an overview on the key concepts discussed in this book.

British officials were amongst the foremost advocates of total aerial disarmament, spelling the effective end of the RAF. In addition to the fear of bombing of British cities, airpower was not Britain's military strong‐point.

The development of military aviation could not be restrained while the civil aircraft industry developed unimpeded. Meanwhile the French were increasingly concerned with developments in Germany where with the coming to power of Hitler rearmament ather that disarmament was the order of the day. Colonel Meilinger here argues that there are clear parallels between the trials of the airmen of the 1930s and the situation in the post‐Cold War era. We are cur...
