Download or read book Flying Vintage Aircraft Museum and Restoration Center written by Robert Jonathan Carmac and published by . This book was released on 2002 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Flying Vintage Aircraft Museum and Restoration Center was a project used to explore the issues of architecture related to personal ideas of structure, light, and space. The goal of the project was to enhance display through the structure of a building and the quantity and quality of light allowed to penetrate the interior gallery. The end result was an attempt to show that architecture is ever changing. It is unpredictable and formed upon the basis of expanded uses, contexts, and needs defined by the current era's technology and society. The exploration of the issues structure, light, and space are incorporated into a piece of architecture that represents the design of a building that considers space within, as well as, its relation to the site and context. The articulation of these architectural elements dramatically altered the expression of the space and can have an emotional impact to each inhabitant. The design problem of an aircraft museum allows the chance to explore these ideas. The nature of the building required the issue of structure to become central and play a major impact in the overall building form. In addition, by using the idea of contrast, material choices helped advance the design to a stronger connection with the stated issues of the project.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get started with simple, useful, handcrafted woodworking projects for everyday people—with only 12 basic tools! Lots of people want to try woodwork, but they get intimidated by dangerous power tools and difficult techniques. Good news: there are lots of ways to work with wood and anyone can get a few tools and start making projects. Everyday Woodworking starts at the very beginning—with wood. How can this common material make everything from furniture to houses? What makes it so strong? Why does it break? More importantly, what can you do to a piece of wood? Sometimes we cut it with a saw. Other times, we split it with an ax or shave it with a knife. This book explains why we choose each tool and how to pick the right cut for any project. As Rex likes to say: "Trust me, it’s not hard." Once you get a few tools and learn some simple techniques, you’ll start making things right away. You’ll begin with a simple mallet and some wooden wedges and then advance to splitting green logs into usable lumber. Next you’ll pick up a knife and a drill and after just a little practice, you’ll be making things you can give to your friends; things they’ll actually use: A wooden butter knife A desk organizer A few pieces of sturdy furniture Sawhorses A small workbench Each project is shown step-by-step with the beginner in mind. The projects are simple but not primitive. Everyday Woodworking will give you skills that you can build on as you grow as a craftsperson.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War II Aircraft Restored to Glory Through engaging narrative and first-person accounts, B-17 Flying Fortress Restoration captures the painstaking restoration of a World War II-vintage Boeing B-17 bomber by more than 100 volunteers in Pooler, GA. Airplane restoration and military aviation enthusiasts alike can follow the airplane's journey from the storage hangers of the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum to the Combat Gallery of the Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force where it arrived in pieces on the backs of four tractor-trailers. With more than 200 photos, B-17 Flying Fortress Restoration charts the volunteer team's frustrations and successes over a six-year period as they cleaned accumulated crud from the bomber's surfaces and carefully recreated its aluminum skin, operating systems, armament and even its nose art. In addition, the book traces the histories of the two City of Savannah B-17s - the original and the restored - and includes many personal stories of veterans as told by themselves or their families. The City of Savannah volunteers brought a wide range of skills to the task-they were airframe and power plant mechanics, painters, aeronautical engineers, electrical engineers, business people and administrators, even a former physics professor with a Ph.D. and 30 years of flying experience. Many were drawn to the project after their day jobs at Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation, LMI Aerospace, Inc., and the 165th Airlift Wing of the Georgia Air National Guard. Others were retired and eager to make a long-term commitment to restoring a vintage warbird. While all of the volunteers were infused with a passion for aviation, for some, restoring the airplane was a deeply personal cause. The father of one volunteer was interned in Switzerland after his B-17 crashed while returning from a mission to Berlin. He escaped his internment by skiing down a mountain in the dead of night, evading enemy forces, and joining up with Gen. George Patton's advancing army. The family of a second volunteer suffered the loss of three sons, one in the tail turret of a B-17, and the imprisonment of three more in German and Japanese POW camps. The father of yet another volunteer flew 58 missions as a bombardier. The Eighth Air Force lost more airmen in World War II than the entire U.S. Marine Corps. Some 26,000 were killed, 47,000 wounded, and another 28,000 became POWs during the war. The restored airplane and the book also pay homage to the original City of Savannah B-17 bomber and the residents of Savannah who raised funds to build the airplane and train its flight crew. The original City of Savannah B-17 was the 5,000th aircraft to be processed through Hunter Army Airfield during World War II. The restored City of Savannah B-17 was built in May of 1945, too late to play an effective role in the war so it spent 30 years engaged in peaceful pursuits. It mapped the Canadian Arctic. It helped draw the Distant Early Warning Line. It served as a slurry bomber fighting forest fires. In 1984, it was acquired by the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, which tucked it away alongside the retired space shuttle Enterprise in a storage hangar in Chantilly, Va. And there it spent the next 25 years. Today, the restored and renamed City of Savannah B-17 occupies a place of honor at the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force as a lasting tribute to veterans of the Eighth Air Force who served in World War II.
