Download or read book Nancy Love and the WASP Ferry Pilots of World War II written by Sarah Byrn Rickman and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page 360 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "When the United States entered World War II, the Army needed pilots to transport or "ferry" its combat-bound aircraft across the United States for overseas deployment and its trainer airplanes to flight training bases. Male pilots were in short supply, so into this vacuum stepped Nancy Love and her Women's Auxiliary Ferrying Squadron (WAFS). Initially the Army implemented both the WAFS program and Jacqueline Cochran's more ambitious plan to train women to do many of the military's flight-related jobs stateside. By 1943, General Hap Arnold decided to combine the women's programs and formed the Women Airforce Service Pilots (WASP), with Cochran as the Director of Women Pilots. Love was named the Executive for WASP."

Book excerpt: This is the story of America's bid to obtain atomic weapons and the aircraft that were developed to deliver them, first tested in July 1945 and the subsequent use of uranium and plutonium bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki respectively, an event that pushed Japan to total surrender and the end of the Second World War.Tells the background story of the development of fission weapons, the science behind the engineering, and the colossal effort mobilised by the US, Britain, and Canada to put together what was, at the time, the world's biggest and, at today's cost of $320 billion, the most expensive scientific and weaponized research and development effort in history.Throughout, this story is one of technology, propulsion, design, engineering, and operational deployment of the aircraft. It is not a book about missions, men, or operational activities.
Download or read book Higher Faster Longer written by Wally Funk and published by . This book was released on 2024-01-31 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since she was a girl in a Superman cape jumping off the family barn and stargazing from the slopes of Taos Mountain, Wally Funk has kept going higher, faster, and longer every time she has seen an opportunity. In college, Wally soared through the aviation program, landing herself a flight instructor position after graduation. From there, she set a record in astronaut testing which she passed with flying colors. The scuttling of the Mercury 13 program didn't stop Wally, who used her dreams to fuel an adventure-studded life. Traveling the world, shattering glass ceilings, and always keeping one eye on the stars, Wally relentlessly and joyfully reached higher, flew faster, and traveled longer on her way to space. For the first time in her own words, here is the stellar story of a truly unique American space pioneer.
Download or read book Race Through the Skies written by Martin W. Sandler and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2020-07-28 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From National Book Award winner Martin W. Sandler, a fascinating look at the week that brought aviation fever to the world In 1903, the Wright brothers made three brief flights, and no one was there to watch them. Six years later, Wilbur Wright traveled to Europe to evangelicize about aviation and raise money for patents--and the world got aviation fever. That summer, a group of champagne companies organized the first ever international air meet in Rheims, France. They knew they could throw a great party and sell a lot of champagne. They didn't know that this single week would change the course of aviation history. Through remarkable photographs, firsthand accounts, and lively narrative, Marty Sandler tells the story of how the Grande Semaine d'Aviation de la Champagne marked the public introduction to flight.
Download or read book International Aviation written by U S Government Accountability Office (G and published by BiblioGov. This book was released on 2013-06 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO examined how a proposed Montreal Aviation Protocol and its supplemental compensation plan for victims of international aviation disasters could affect the timeliness, cost, and level of compensation. GAO found that: (1) under the protocol, and supplemental compensation plan, claimants would be required to prove only the amount of the losses that they suffered, which would reduce the time required to compensate accident victims; (2) legal costs would be lower under the protocol and the supplemental compensation plan than they were under current international agreements; (3) the protocol and the supplemental compensation plan could increase the level of compensation for American victims of international aviation accidents; (4) Americans could be compensated more by having their damage awards decided in U.S. courts; and (5) the protocol was unlikely to jeopardize airline safety, since adverse economic impacts were the primary incentives for airlines to operate safely.

In this book, interdisciplinary topics related to aircraft icing are addressed with a specific emphasis on various types of icing, ice formation, icing terminology used in aeronautical applications, and ice prevention systems. Through a historical overview, designated milestones of aircraft icing research, development of scientific solutions, and improvement of icing detection systems are revisited for the purposes of shedding light on icing physics and related flight applications. This book explores contributions made by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for aircraft icing and investigates a wide range of aircraft icing efforts, including mathematical models of air-droplet two-phase flow and computational methods for droplet impingement, in addition to experimental research in icing wind tunnels. With objectives to expand the core area of aircraft icing to interrelated topics, the erosion terminology is addressed from an aeronautical perspective. Erosion research in the aviation industry and the threat of solid particle erosion damages to aircraft underlines opportunities and challenges to ensure aviation safety. This book is an essential reference book for aircraft icing, the interdisciplinary topics of icing physics, and erosion testing in aeronautical applications.Target Audience:Every individual in Aerospace Engineering/Mechanical Engineering Disciplines
