Download or read book Learning to Fly in the U S Army written by Elisha N. Tales and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 192 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Learning to Fly in the U. S, Army: A Manual of Aviation Practice The chapters on "Rigging" are not abridged so much as are the other chapters, but are given in some detail; this is to fill a definite need among student aviators for material based on practical experience. In the chapters on "History of Aviation" only those experiments are treated which have a bearing on flight today; this chapter is to be read in conjunction with the chapter on "Principles of Flight" especially as regards controlling the airplane. The question of Airplane Motors has not been touched, because to do it justice would unduly increase the size of this volume, and because good treatises on this subject are available. Acknowledgment is due Professor Holbrook and Messrs. Beyer and Hebbard of the University of Illinois for the preparation of Chapters VI to XI.

Book excerpt: ""Nothing is more unwise, on general principles, than to attempt to write about a war before that war is finished and before history has given it the justice of perspective. The campaign which began with the flight of the Belgian Government from Brussels and which culminated in the fall of Antwerp formed, however, a separate and distinct phase of the Greatest of Wars, and I feel that I should write of that campaign while its events are still sharp and clear in my memory and before the impressions it produced have begun to fade.""

Download or read book Training to Fly written by Rebecca Hancock Cameron and published by . This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, this book is an institutional history of flight training by the predecessor organizations of the United States Air Force. The U.S. Army purchased its first airplane, built and successfully flown by Orville and Wilbur Wright, in 1909, and paced both lighter-and heavier-than-air aeronautics in the Division of Military Aeronautics of the Signal Corps. Americans flew combat missions in France during World War I and during World War II. During this first era of military aviation, the groundwork was laid for the independent United States Air Force. This document is primarily based on official documents that are house in the National Archives and Records Administration. It is the first definitive study of this important subject.
Download or read book Knights of the Air written by Bennett A. Molter and published by . This book was released on 2011-06 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A pilot's account of the war in the air Books on the war in the air above the fields, broken landscapes and trenches of France and Belgium in the First World War are not numerous. Those written by pilots who experienced war in the air during the infancy of aviation are fewer still. In the early years of the 20th century the first clumsy attempts at mastering the skies was followed quickly by the necessity, on the part of armies and navies, to find individuals with the ability to learn the skills and tactics of fighting in three dimensions. Those whose learning failed them paid a price rarely expected of young students. This book was written by a young American volunteer during wartime. He informs his readers from the outset that he has a poor opinion of his own abilities and of the contribution he believes he can make, though this is difficult to understand for those who have never taken the air to fight in a primitive flying machine-without a parachute. Molter was one of those remarkable young men, irrespective of his own opinion of himself, who elected to volunteer to fight for France before America had entered the war. He gives us an insightful account of flying combat missions from the sharp end and no one who has an interest in the subject will be disappointed with his story. Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their spines and fabric head and tail bands.
Download or read book Flying Fury written by James McCudden and published by Casemate / Greenhill. This book was released on 2009-10-19 with total page 321 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The day-to-day insights of a brilliantly daring World War I ace that only ends with his death at the age of 23 . . . James McCudden was an outstanding British fighter ace of World War I, whose daring exploits earned him a tremendous reputation and, ultimately, an untimely end. Here, in this unique and gripping firsthand account, he brings to life some of aviation history’s most dramatic episodes in a memoir completed at the age of twenty-three, just days before his tragic death. During his time in France with the Royal Flying Corps from 1914 to 1918, McCudden rose from mechanic to pilot and flight commander. Following his first kill in September 1916, McCudden shot down a total of fifty-seven enemy planes, including a remarkable three in a single minute in January 1918. A dashing patrol leader, he combined courage, loyalty, and judgment, studying the habits and psychology of enemy pilots and stalking them with patience and tenacity. Written with modesty and frankness, yet acutely perceptive, Flying Fury is both a valuable insight into the world of early aviation and a powerful account of courage and survival above the mud and trenches of Flanders. Fighter ace James McCudden died in July 1918, after engine failure caused his plane to crash just four months before the end of World War I. His success as one of Britain’s deadliest pilots earned him the Victoria Cross.
