	Chapter 12 (pp 541-573)
		Antiaircraft artillery in air defense of objects in the rear area (airfields, electrical power stations, bridges and crossings) was used in consideration of the nature of enemy aviation operations, the tactical and technical data of his aircraft, and most important, the tactical and technical capabilities of the antiaircraft weapons themselves.
		Antiaircraft artillery fired only when their own fighters were not attacking the targets or when they were prepared to open fire upon the enemy when their fighters disengaged from combat.
		Antiaircraft artillery used the PUAZO stations to fire on radar data from the SON stations as to the probable bomb drop line and shifted from that probable line towards the target; part of the batteries fired barrage fire according to the SON data.

	Lone Sentry: 5th Army Antiaircraft, Salerno to Florence, 9 September 1943 - 8 September 1944, WWII Unit History
		Today, as a consequence, many antiaircraft units are preparing for a host of new assignments as infantry, military police, trucking companies, engineers, and field artillery, in which, if called upon, they can be expected to serve the Fifth Army with the same thoroughness and excellence as their former role.
		The antiaircraft artillery mission was one of close support, to move up with the engineers and defend the bridges and the flow of troop reinforcements and supplies after the infantry had established bridgeheads.
		The antiaircraft artillery promptly countered these tactics by organizing the forward antiaircraft units to permit the firing of controlled barrages in any one or all three sectors into which the forward areas had been divided.

	Anti-aircraft warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Starting in the post-World War II era the guns were joined by the guided missile, specifically the "surface-to-air missile", and today both are used in combination in most roles.
		Adaptations of standard artillery systems were commonly used for most long-range anti-aircraft artillery, starting with standard pieces on new mountings, and evolving to custom guns with much higher performance prior to World War II.
		Nicknames for anti-aircraft guns include AAA or triple-A for anti-aircraft artillery, ack-ack (from the World War I phonetic alphabet for AA), archie (a WWI British term believed to derive via the Royal Flying Corps from the music-hall comedian George Robey's line "Archibald, certainly not!"), and flak (from the German Flugabwehrkanone, aircraft defense cannon).

		Its artillery were the antiaircraft guns pointing earthward, the guns of tanks and tank destroyers and of captured German weapons.
		The conversion of American and British antiaircraft units from their antiaircraft duties to the role of infantry and artillery in support of ground troops, which conversion was accomplished while in contact with the enemy along the front lines and without any preliminary preparations, may be regarded as a noteworthy example of American ingenuity and improvisation.

		She was eventually outfitted with 16 - 40mm and 19 - 20mm antiaircraft guns, replacing the machine guns.
		Its "dual-purpose" was antiaircraft (good for this purpose with its relatively short bore providing maneuverability) and also surface fire (adequate).
		Although a heavy antiaircraft gun found only on cruisers or heavier ships, it was very effective because it was firing a substantial two-pound projectile and, in a quadruple mount, its rate of fire was 480 rounds per minute.
