This insightful work by David N. Spires holds many lessons in
tactical air-ground operations. Despite peacetime rivalries in the
drafting of service doctrine, in World War II the immense pressures
of wartime drove army and air commanders to cooperate in the
effective prosecution of battlefield operations. In northwest
Europe during the war, the combination of the U.S. Third Army
commanded by Lt. Gen. George S. Patton and the XIX Tactical Air
Command led by Brig. Gen. Otto P. Weyland proved to be the most
effective allied air-ground team of World War II. The great success
of Patton's drive across France, ultimately crossing the Rhine, and
then racing across southern Germany, owed a great deal to Weyland's
airmen of the XIX Tactical Air Command. This deft cooperation paved
the way for allied victory in Western Europe and today remains a
classic example of air-ground effectiveness. It forever highlighted
the importance of air-ground commanders working closely together on
the battlefield.
