	20th century - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Advances in fundamental physics through the theory of relativity and quantum mechanics led to the development of nuclear weapons (known informally as "the Bomb" and dropped on the industrial town of Hiroshima and the historic town of Nagasaki), the nuclear reactor, the semiconductor and the laser.
		Inventions such as the washing machine and air conditioning led to an increase in both the quantity and quality of leisure time for the middle class in developed countries.
		The problem of a depletion of natural resources is decreased by advances in drilling technology which led to a net increase in the amount of fossil fuel that is readily obtainable at the end of the century, as compared with the amount considered obtainable at the beginning of the century.

	RAF Advanced Air Striking Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Fairey Battles of the command were the worst off, most being shot down on their first few missions but others such as the Bristol Blenheim were scarcely better.

		However, by mid-June it was clear that the end of the Battle of France was fast approaching and the AASF began its retreat from France abck to the UK.

		Most of the forces that took part in the Battle of the Bulge were American, with some great feats of staff work taking place which resulted in the Third Army and Ninth Army essentially altering their facing by ninety degrees to contain the salient.

		There is a touch of irony in the fact that in an era of smart bombs and stealth aircraft, the effectiveness of modern air operations often depends on a relative handful of Air Force specialists who spend most of their time on the ground.
		The Air Force awards the ETAC specialty (which has no officer counterpart) only after an airman has served a long apprenticeship and taken a variety of courses, many of them with the Army.
		Heidal said that while the Air Force does not require such courses, they help the airmen to support the “Army customer.” Airmen working with the airborne forces, for example, have to be jump-qualified, he explained.

		He also said the Air Force has indicated it may want a larger percentage of the F-35s it buys to be of the short takeoff and vertical landing variety, except that it would be interested in doing short, rolling takeoffs and landings.
		The main conclusion of the study was that air dominance “continues to be a key enabler” for the entire military, regardless of the kind of campaign under way.
		Even with advanced radars, legacy types fitted with the latest radar consistently showed “an inability to close the target without being detected.” The result was usually “a mutual kill,” meaning both sides flew to a deadly draw, he explained.
