we begin at nellis air force base in nevada. one place the f-35 is being tested. at outskirts of las vegas is where american pilots learn the art of aerial combat. here the full array of u.s. air power is on display from proven work horses like the f -15 and f-16 to more modern aircraft like the f-22. you will also find the latest addition to america's military arsenal, the f-35 is the most expensive weapons program in american history. according to one pentagon report, it has a price tag of $1.4 trillion. so far the pentagon has bought almost 150 f-35s with more on the assembly line. even though the air force and navy versions are a year or more away from being cleared for combat. eventually the air force is expected to buy more than 1700 f-35s with the navy and marines purchasing nearly 700 more. ones modified for them. why buy so many f-35s? congress and the military believe the plane can be refined as more are being built. >> you can't touch the airplane. >> from its futuristic shape it's a complicated beast. like get into a racing car. >> it is. >> you get in

these are well conditioned and as far as the air force. the commander of 10 years in the air force so well seasoned pilot and that is one of the things that help with looking up rumors that came about is actually checking the service for captains back and relive looking at how seasons they were. they were excellent pilots. sometimes still doesn't matter. they only had a matter of seconds, a matter of minutes to respond and it was impossible. when i first arrived and started talking to people about the strategy, and admit they cannot immediately that it crash to kill african-americans. you can understand how that can be stimulated over the years and how that can come about. it was simply untrue and that is one of the rumors that came about because a lot of the african-americans in wichita, 97% were living in the scrambled section. the rumor was the plane crashed on purpose and it crash to kill kill african-americans and that was exacerbated by people who came into the community right after the tragedy. there is a complaint that went about t

girls give a new angle to the air force story. women's air force service pilots.ictoria: the fly girls exhibition is very important to us, and it is an exhibition we opened on veterans day, and to tell the story of these world war ii female pilots and share that with the public was, we thought, and important texas story, but also an important story that connects texas with the nation. when world war ii broke out in 1938 and 1939, one of the women pilots of america, her name was jacqueline, and she was a business owner and entrepreneur and a fearless pilot, and she approached president franklin roosevelt and first lady eleanor roosevelt with the idea of using women to fly american military aircraft, should they be needed. at the time, they were not, but they thought it was a great idea, and then pearl harbor was attacked by japan, so men immediately enlisted and were sent off to the european and pacific fronts of america, and at that time, by 1942, america was experiencing a really severe shortage of pilots over north africa, so thinking back to the proposition of

what i call the death of the german air force. t's look at the details of air operations i said early in the spring we were going after the german air force by factories. what is coming up in the summer of 1944? overlord. the main effort to come to grips with the germans on the land, satisfying of the pleas from russia. a clear sense of where the war would end was by invasion and driving into nazi germany. this was the main event. as a result of that, i mentioned we were having success in the war of attrition over the air but now the allies take a step back and there is a bit of an argument. general eisenhower supported members of the british staff, wanting to shift the targets of the strategic bombers, raf and a air force, -- 8th air force, to targets closer in support of overlord, to targets in france. transportation targets to isolate the normandy battlefield. airmen resist. and marshall harris goes no. does not want to do that. he has been circling german cities and with increasing numbers setting fires and burning german citie

the planning nerve center for exercise delawar was located at macdill air force base, florida. they commanded all united states forces participating in the exercise with the exception of mass air lift forces. command of these forces were retained by the mats commander. in new mexico, fighter pilots were briefed on their tactical support mission. two squadrons of f-100 super savers were assigned to the delawar operation. 88 united states base transports provided the airlift requirements necessary to move a brigade 8,000 miles to its destination. at forth campbell, kentucky, the 101st airborne division, screaming eagles, supplied an air brigade for the joint task force, coming quickly to the aid of a friendly middle east country. delawar is a persian word meaning courageous. m.a.t.s., military air transport from fort campbell to iran. in addition, 550 tons of cargo to supply the approximately 2,300 airborne troops involved in the exercise. giant transports lowered their rank to take in the necessary work tools of today's modern fighting man. jeeps, artillery, communications equipm

will condition men as far as the air force, the commander had ten years in the air force so well seasoned pilots and those are the things that dealt with looking at the rumors that came about is actually checking the service jacket, really looking at how good they were as pilots. they were excellent pilots but when disaster strikes skill doesn't matter. they only had a matter of seconds, a matter of minutes at first but then seconds to respond in due was simply impossible. when i first arrived in the neighborhood talking to people about this tragedy and asked what happened the myth of that came out immediately and this was only a few years ago was that it crashed and killed african-americans. you can understand how that can be stimulated over the years and how that could come about but it was simply untrue and that is one of the rumors that came about because a lot of african-americans in wichita, 97% living in a crumbled section. the rumor was the plane crashed on purpose, crashed to kill african-americans and that was exacerbated by some people who came into the community right after th

air force, navy and one army officer. this was viewed as an air force/navy show.ed real disquiet among army senior officers who attacked the doctrine and who saw it as a budget grab on the part of the navy and air force. and over a period of, what is it now, 20 years, the army fought the doctrine, the air/sea battle doctrine time after time. acuesed the air force and navy of doing a budget grab and only very recently decided to embrace the doctrine because they didn't have a choice. it's become american policy. >> you write about ray odierno. the resentment gave rise to odierno's view that his service was fighting a three-front war. one in afghanistan gans the taliban, another in ooh rack against the insergeaurgency and another in washington. there's always tension among the service heads but this was on a different level. odierno looked at his colleagues as plotting against him. >> the army really resented the air force and navy. the earliest papers on the air/sea battle doctrine were classified. this is still viewed in the army as a plot against them. a plot to

the air force says it's capable of putting about 60 drones in the air every day around the world, between 60 and 65, but the pentagon says it would like to increase the number by a third over the next four years. the way they planned to do that is to continue to have the air force provide flights around the world, and 10 or 20 flown by the u.s. army, and an additional 10 from u.s. special forces, and 10 more unmanned drones, unmanned and unarmed drones that would be flown by contractors. this would require, of course, some additional drone pilots and drones to be manufactured, if you link about it. they are a bargain, compared to the cost of manned aircraft. the mq-9, top of the line drone costs about 40 million, if you include the ground station and everything that goes with it. by comparison, the g 35 stealth -- f-35 stealth fighter costs 134 million. it's a big difference, and the advantage that drone pilots are flying usually from a remote location from a trailer in the desert in nevada, not in the war zone under fire. all of this prompted an interesting remark from the navy secretary
