Download or read book Airliners of the 1970s written by Gerry Manning and published by Midland Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a highly pictorial look at a decade which saw much change in the world air travel scene, well-traveled aviation photographer Gerry Manning has assembled an exciting collection of images from all over the globe. Over 60 different types are featured, from the propliners still hard at work to newly-introduced Concorde and Tupolev Tu-144 supersonic transports. It was a decade which saw the first Boeing 747 services and introduction of the first Airbus product: the A300. Helicopters ferried between the skyscrapers of Manhattan and from the Scottish mainland to North Sea oilrigs. In a period of transition, early jets like the CV-880 and DC-9 flew alongside turboprops like Viscount and Electra and piston Convairs and DC-6s. Carvairs plied their specialized trade, Martin 4-0-4s were still in use as feederliners and the Warsaw Pact countries provided a captive market for the vast Soviet aviation industry. Detailed captions give the background to the images and the fate of the aircraft and operators depicted. This attractive all-color publication is a valuable reference for enthusiasts, historians, modelers, or anyone in need of an infusion of nostalgia.

Download or read book 100 Years of Civil Aviation written by Ben Skipper and published by Air World. This book was released on 2023-11-15 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of civil aviation history from the end of World War I to the retiring of the Jumbo Jet. The book examines a century of civil aviation; in 1919 a fledgling industry was born out of civilianizing First World War bombers. The book covers the design and development of civil aircraft and all the personalities that shaped the industry; it features the hay-day of air travel before the advent of mass passenger transit, and the rise of smaller, austerity airlines. It covers the influence of military aircraft on civil planes, unpacks the laws that govern civil aviation and how they have changed over the past century. It chronicles air disasters, both mechanical and tyrannical, and for the first time, looks at the role of women in civil aviation. Playing its part in times of crisis, civil aviation has led rescue missions and covert operations; civilian pilots were often used to test and transport new aircraft from their manufacturers to the frontline, often unarmed and unescorted. The book ends with the quiet retirement of an icon, amid a global pandemic and what lies in store for a greener flying future.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book will appeal to aviation engineers, air traffic controllers and all pilots who have taken a U.K. commercial pilots license. It explains how the U.K. Civil Aviation Flying Unit (CAFU) was formed during WWII and the work for which it was intended. How Flight Inspection methods were evolved to meet increasing challenges of improving navigational and landing aids and to ensure suitable flying standards were set for the issue of newly created licence requirements. It details the aircraft provided, their role; the seemingly ever changing Ministries from MCA to the CAA . It plots the beginning and the end of CAFU, asking how and why this occurred; tracks the changes of Ministries, policies, airfields, aircraft, inadequate housing, staff levels and pay, of aircrew and engineers who gave themselves to the safety of aviation, ensuring that to-days commercial aircraft are able to land in zero visibility conditions safely. It is a post-war history of the United Kingdoms effort, to be at the forefront of international aviation safety that is enjoyed by all who fly today. Whether you are a passenger or pilot, CAFU was a small part of this process and one to be proud of.

Download or read book Tennessee Women written by Sarah Wilkerson Freeman and published by University of Georgia Press. This book was released on 2010-10-01 with total page 479 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Including suffragists, civil rights activists, and movers and shakers in politics and in the music industries of Nashville and Memphis, as well as many other notables, this collective portrait of Tennessee women offers new perspectives and insights into their dreams, their struggles, and their times. As rich, diverse, and wide-ranging as the topography of the state, this book will interest scholars, general readers, and students of southern history, women's history, and Tennessee history. Tennessee Women: Their Lives and Times shifts the historical lens from the more traditional view of men's roles to place women and their experiences at center stage in the historical drama. The eighteen biographical essays, written by leading historians of women, illuminate the lives of familiar figures like reformer Frances Wright, blueswoman Alberta Hunter, and the Grand Ole Opry's Minnie Pearl (Sarah Colley Cannon) and less-well-known characters like the Cherokee Beloved Woman Nan-ye-hi (Nancy Ward), antebellum free black woman Milly Swan Price, and environmentalist Doris Bradshaw. Told against the backdrop of their times, these are the life stories of women who shaped Tennessee's history from the eighteenth-century challenges of western expansion through the nineteenth- and twentieth-century struggles against racial and gender oppression to the twenty-first-century battles with community degradation. Taken as a whole, this collection of women's stories illuminates previously unrevealed historical dimensions that give readers a greater understanding of Tennessee's place within environmental and human rights movements and its role as a generator of phenomenal cultural life.
