ARTICLES RELATING TO THE LACK OF RESPONSE FROM THE US AIRFORCE ON SEPT 11.

These articles were published between Nov 2001 and July 2002 by Illarion Bykov, Jared Israel and John Flaherty. At the time, they were groundbreaking in that they demonstrated that the official story was impossible to believe and that there must have been high level Govt complicity in the attacks.

In retrospect, the fundamental mistake of the authors was to assume that the hijackings actually took place as we were told—a reasonable assumption at the time. Consequently, the authors were led to the erroneous conclusion that the air force was stood down in order to allow the hijacked planes to reach their targets. We now know that the reason that there was no air force response is because there weren't any hijacked planes to chase.

In so far as it goes, this is excellent research. The authors demonstrate that had those hijackings taken place in the manner that we were told, then only an air force stand down could have allowed them to reach their targets.

This work has been heavily plagiarized and twisted by many who’s only skill is taking the credit for the work of others and then lowering the quality of it. More about this in the disinformation section.

I link here to the original articles by the original authors. At the time of publication it was some of the best and most courageous research on the subject. Although this work is now somewhat outdated by later discoveries, it has an important place in the history of how the layers of the official story were peeled back.
