I interviewed Professor Elihu Rose. Prof. Rose served in the USAF not long after WWII and is now a professor, mostly lecturing, at Yale, West Point Army Academy, and the US Naval Academy.I interviewed him via email.
The latest correspondence was on 4/26/12.
Questions I asked him:
How was the gas captured and able to reset the bolt and chamber the next round, making the guns semi/fully automatic?
How did the Navy evolve and how did it impact the war, especially the war in the Pacific?
When exactly did planes evolve into jet fighters? And how did this change the tactics used by pilots? How much of an advantage did a jet have in a dog fight over a plane with a propeller?
What were some communication technologies developed in WWII?
Prof. Rose responded to these questions with recomendations of a couple of books.
