Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aircraft in War Chevalier Bayard's denunciation, many centuries ago, of the then newly invented musket - an invention of a purely destructive character and obviously less adapted than the aeroplane for use in peace. The introduction of steam transport by land and sea three-quarters of a century ago must have aroused similar misgivings in conservative minds, which could not see how civilisa tion would be benefited by the discovery of the new means of travel.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aviation in Peace and War Our nation as a whole has been educated, owing to its geographical situation and by tra dition, to interest itself in the broader aspects of marine policy and development. It 'requires to take the same interest in aviation, a comparatively new subject, unhampered to a great extent by preconceived notions and therefore offering greater scope for individual thought. The following 1sketch 1 has been written in the hope that some of those who read it may be inspired to study aviation in one or other of its branches, whether from the historical, technical, strategical, or commercial point of view. Any opinions e pressed are, of course, my own-and not official. I propose first briefly to trace the history of aviation from its beginnings to the outbreak of war; next to describe the evolution of aircraft and of air strategy during the war; and last to estimate the present position and to look into the future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aircraft in the Great War: A Record and Study But in this war, owing to lack of numbers and of means for striking a decisive blow, both the Germans and the Allies have been able to make constant use, for reconnoitring, of their flying craft. And this may be written without depre ciating in any way the gallant efforts made both by British and French pilots, and frequently with success, to shoot their opponents in the air with rifles and revolvers, and make up by their deter mination what they lacked in armament. But though these tactics, in certain areas, produced for a time definite results, there was no question of so crippling the enemy that he was robbed of the aid of his flying scouts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aircraft in War and Commerce The present drawback of the expensiveness of airship accommodation will, I believe, be got over by movable shields and the anchoring of airships behind them, so that whichever way the wind blows the breakwater, so to speak, will al ways cover the nose of the airship and prevent any great pressure of wind upon it. This will help very much, for it is the airship shed rather than the airship which costs money and is ditfi cult to build and expensive to maintain.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wings of War: An Account of the Important Contribution of the United States to Aircraft, Invention, Engineering, Development and Production During the World War The manuscript of this book was written in 1919. The numerous Congressional investigations of the management of the war which have taken place since the writing have revealed many shortcomings in both the army and navy that were concealed during the conflict period - and aircraft produc tion is no longer singled out for a monopoly of hos tile criticism and sweeping condemnation, as it was in the unhappy days when its managers were seek ing to accomplish the impossible. Time is a great adjuster of judgments as well as a healer of wounds, and it is the writer's belief that the ultimate ver dict of history will virtually coincide with the conclusion reached in the following pages that in stead of being, as was once universally believed, the outstanding industrial fiasco of America's part in the World War, the aircraft achievements de serve to rank with any of those of our second line of defense, which, taken as a whole, were highly creditable.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aircraft in Warfare: The Dawn of the Fourth Arm The subject of "Aircraft in Warfare," with which Mr. Lanchester deals, is, and for some time will be, highly controversial. In each of its three aspects, the scientific, the military, and the material or manufacturing, it is still in the stage of experiment and speculation. The results obtained cannot always be made available for the information of the general public, and those which are available have usually been set forth in terms so technical, either in a scientific or a military sense, as to be somewhat difficult for the general reader to understand. Very little trustworthy information, therefore, has been disseminated, and the uninstructed public, hungry for information on a novel and alluring subject, of which the national importance is evident, has fallen an easy prey to the imposter. Any plausible rogue, gifted with sufficient assurance, and aided by a ready pen or supple tongue, has been able to pose as an "aeronautical expert," and to find some kind of following.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aircraft: Its Development in War and Peace and Its Commercial Future The object of this book is to explain the fundamental principles of aeronautics and to point out the historic development of both the heavier-than-air and the lighter-than-air craft. The treatment is simple. Tech nical phrases have been avoided wherever possible. Emphasis has been laid on the changes in the design or construction of aeroplanes and dirigibles, which show the evolution of flight and aircraft from early experi ments with balloons and gliders to the transatlantic flights of the N 0-4, the Vickers Vimy Bomber, and the R-34. Only those things have been singled out which indicated a step forward in the science of aero nautics. Emphasis is placed upon the commercial accomplishments of the aeroplane and the dirigible, and many of the present uses and future possibilities of aircraft as a commercial vehicle have been pointed out.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Aircraft and Submarines: The Story of the Invention, Development, and Present-Day Uses of War's Newest Weapons Nor since gunpowder was first employed in warfare has so revolutionary a contribution to the science of slaughtering men been made as by the perfection of air craft and submarines. The former have had their first employment in this world-wide war of the nations. The latter, though in the experimental stage as far back as the American Revolution, have in this bitter contest been for the first time brought to so practical a stage of development as to exert a really appreciable in uence on the outcome of the struggle. Comparatively few people appreciate how the thought of navigating the air's dizziest heights and the sea's gloomiest depths has obsessed the minds of inventors. From the earliest days of history men have grappled with the problem, yet it is only within two hundred years for aircraft and one hundred for sub marines that any really intelligent start has been made upon its solution. The men who really gave practical e ect to the vague theories which others set up - in aircraft the Wrights, santos-dumont, and Count Zep pelin; in submarines Lake and Holland - are either still living, or have died so recently that their memory is still fresh in the minds of all.

This book was released on 2018-07-12 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aviation in Peace and War by Frederick Hugh Sykes Since the earliest communities of human beings first struggled for supremacy and protection, the principles of warfare have remained unchanged. New methods have been evolved and adopted with the progress of science, but no discovery, save perhaps that of gunpowder, has done so much in so short a time to revolutionize the conduct of war as aviation, the youngest, yet destined perhaps to be the most effective fighting-arm. Yet to-day we are only on the threshold of our knowledge, and, striking as was the impetus given to every branch of aeronautics during the four years of war, its future power can only dimly be seen. We may indeed feel anxious about this great addition of aviation to the destructive power of modern scientific warfare. Bearing its terrors in mind, we may even impotently seek to check its advance, but the appeal of flying is too deep, its elimination is now impossible, and granted that war is inevitable, it must be accepted for good or ill We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection.
