Used Under License.EDITORIAL _ MAA Up in the Skies: Warriors of the Air Air Action Weekly does not shy away from controversy. Conflict defines our existence, just as it does for the pilots and planes we feature every week. We'd like to believe that our readers have come lu expect and appreciate our unbiased cov- erage of combat in the skies over the North American nations—coverage that only AAW as delivered since the Collapse and in the shadows of continuing conflict. Despite all that, though, we can’t help but wonder how many pilots ripped this week's magazine from the rack with cries of, "This time you've gone too far!" aller petting a look at the cover. And how many pilots tore the cover off? The Black Swan? A pirate? This year’s feature pilol? Absolutely! Air Action Weekly is about air combat, and the men and women who rise gloriously i the skies or tailspin back lo earth, We've labored long, and hard this year to bring you the straight facts on eight of the con- tinent’s top aces. Every one is an clite pilot and a deadly gunner; each also has a flair or style that sets them above their peers. These people are role models, good and bad, whose personalities often define entire militias and even nations. So we expect cries of indignation from the Maritime Provinces down to the Kingdom of (None from you flyers in the Empire State, though, right? How does it feel to be in formation with the infa, mous Black Swan?) Moral outrage aside, however, few pilots can deny the Black Swan her place on the rolls of top aces. Known in every nation, she is feared by some and loathed by others. Her reputa- tion precedes her in every hangau, aerodrome and tavern; the lady gets splashed across newspapers everywhere, and perhaps hest represents the stuules of gray that often dim the: crimson skies of a dogfight. Pirales aid privateers who prey on the sep pelins that ship goods between states and nations have been a fact of life since the breakup of the old The Black Swan United States. Two of our feature articles this week are reminders of those events and their afteref- fects, which (for those who know their history) include the rise of the militia air wing to defend corporate and national interests from pirate marauders as well as from predation by rival mili- lias. (And we're not even going to bring up the charges levied in various directions that certain militias are litle more than privateers them- selves.) Militias have at least the tacit approval of 4 government for their raids and air strikes. Is it such a large step from militia pilot to priva- leer, and then to pirate? Ask "Marshal" Bill Redmann, once of the Texas Rangers. Or, if you value your life, try talking instead to Comrade Aaron Whittaker—faled farmer, rancher, raider and pirate, who is wow an accepted and upstanding citien of the People’s Collective, If you ean find her, ask the Black Swan if she belongs on the cover this week, We recommend trying out that question from a distance, thongh, and never from the cock- pit of your plane. So here’s Air Action Weekly's 1937 Warriors of the Air issue, with write-ups on eight of North America’s most colorful and deadly aces, The write-ups include available details on their wing- men, squadrons and lives. If you don’t like the fact that three pirates grace the rolls, fecl free to write and voice your complaint, but don’t expect much in the way of a retraction. Pirates and privateers are still pilots, and there’s only one way to keep them from our pages. Prove yourself by retiring them, and maybe you'll take their place next year. Fither that, or your failure will add to their already impressive reputations. In the end, the only argu ment that matters is the one: in the atin, Air Action Weekly is about air combat. Leave everything else on the ground Nero L, Macleon Editor, Air Action WeeklyHISTORY Ax The Fall From Glory Essay by Robert Garret, Ph.D., Manhattan, NY, Empire State THE BEGINNING OF THE END No one agrees on the first warning sign of the breakup of the United States of America. Many point to the secession of South Carolina that touched off the American Civil War in 1860, Others blame our Founding Fathers, who built so much compromise into our system of government in order to form one union, under God bul cer- tainly divisible. Those events, however significant they may have been to their own times, played no real role in the breakup of the United States and Canada into the current collection of twenty sover- eign nations. It would be just as valid to argue thal the single plane shot down in last week's dogfight proves thal the entire squadron will be lost six months from now. 1920 saw a few of the first signs of the com- ing collapse, in the aftermath of the influenza epi- demic that followed the Great War. America’s involvement in “Europe's battles” and the loss of so many citizens to a disease brought back by soldiers fostered intense isolationism, and regional, President Wilson's push to formn the League of Nations drew increas- ing fire from US. citizens, opening the door for Warren G, Harding's “New Independence from Europe” campaign, Harding called for greater separation from the world in general, and the Regionalist party adopted it as part of their plat- form. Many Regionalists who won office in that year used their new power to push forward their ‘own programs; the most controversial of these was Prohibition, which in 1920 failed ratification as a Constitutional amendment. Prohibition consumed the political scene for the next three years, with the split for and against it occurring largely along regional lines. Its politi- cal power undercut by the Regionalists, Washingion’s indecisiveness forced politicians to support ellorts to sign Prohibition into Iaw—or to ‘outright reject t—for their own states. Harding's death in 1924 handed the presidency to Calvin Coolidge, who refused to get behind the wavering Federal Prohibition Bill. Without presidential sup- port, the bill quickly died. The war against alcohol that had polarized the country now turned into at regional fight. Checkpoints appeared on state bor- ders as various state authorities tried to restrict the flow of alcohol into “dry” regions. Many states also used these checkpoints to levy unofficial and illegal tariffs. The campaigns of 1924 reflected the grow- ing shift in power from Washington to the stale- houses as the individual states demanded more authority Siate governments appropriated greater powers, and a wo-late move by the federal gov- ernment to prevent it failed. The result—stronger states and a weak central government—is exem plified by the 1924 Bluefield Incident, in which Kentucky and West Virginia started feuding with the coastal states of Virginia and North Carolina for contro! of the Appalichians, origin of much of the moonshine funneled up north, The Virginia National Guard captured a large Kentucky convoy outside the town of Bluefield, only to discover that their price was a Kentucky guard unit running alcohol out of the Appalachians toward the West Virginia border Though jurisdiction clearly belonged to Kentucky, the men were tried in Virginia on vague charges and jailed. Virginia refused Kentucky's request to transfer the men back to their home state, and later rejected a sim- ilar “suggestion” from Washington D.C. Only under the threat of U.S. Army intervention did Virginia finally release the prisoners to federal authorities, almost two years after their capture. ON THE EDGE Except for the Bluefield Incident and a few other isolated problems, the years from 1924 through 1927 were among the best the United States had known, as Regionalists stepped back from their programs and allowed the country a collective respite.
