Book excerpt: Excerpt from United States Army Aircraft Production Facts: Compiled at the Request of the Assistant Secretary of War; January, 1919 The Wright brothers, on December 17, 1903, at Kitty Hawk, N. C., made man's first successful sustained and directed flight in a heavier-than-air machine, driven by a gas engine. Wilbur Wright flew 852 feet in 59 seconds, and his four-cylinder gas engine generated 12 horsepower. Thus started the development of the enormous air activity to be later used in warfare. To fully understand the position of the United States in aeronautics at the time of our declaration of war, one must realize how very little of the development had been carried on in this country; how relatively lacking we were in knowledge of aeronautics, and how completely and absolutely we lacked knowledge of the equipment of military airplanes. The Army had done some flying at San Diego, using the flying field on North Island, which had been made available by the generosity of the Coronado Beach Co., who loaned the land to the Government, as no funds were available at that time for leasing property for flying fields. The Air Service had had a struggling and meager existence, working with the old pusher type of planes, until, in 1914, an appropriation of$250,000 was made available for the purchase of airplanes and their equipment. About this time five officers were sent to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for a special course in aeronautics. These men constituted the entire technically trained personnel of the Air Service of the United States Army when war was declared in Europe in August, 1914. The total personnel, both military and civilian, numbered 194 men, with a minimum of equipment. At the time of signing the armistice the records showed a total of 195,024 men, to whom had been delivered during the war 16,952 airplanes. The creation of this personnel, and their equipment, in all its infinite detail, was one of the great problems of the war. This pamphlet presents the story of the production of aircraft in nontechnical language as an aid to a better understanding of the past and future industrial problems of the Air Service.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: PREFACE. THE Author of this very practical treatise on Scotch Loch - Fishing desires clearly that it may be of use to all who had it. He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for the readers notes. The Author need hardly say that any suggestions addressed to the case of the publishers, will meet with consideration in a future edition. We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too on the art of fishing but loch-fishing has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when me say that, on the whole, a days loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is depend- ent on nothing but enough wind to curl the water, -and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day, -and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand whereas the stream- fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a days river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a good day, and the water in order but experience has taught most of us that the good days are in the minority, and that, as is the case with our rapid running streams, -such as many of our northern streams are, -the water is either too large or too small, unless, as previously remarked, you live near at hand, and can catch it at its best. A common belief in regard to loch-fishing is, that the tyro and the experienced angler have nearly the same chance in fishing, -the one from the stern and the other from the bow of the same boat. Of all the absurd beliefs as to loch-fishing, this is one of the most absurd. Try it. Give the tyro either end of the boat he likes give him a cast of ally flies he may fancy, or even a cast similar to those which a crack may be using and if he catches one for every three the other has, he may consider himself very lucky. Of course there are lochs where the fish are not abundant, and a beginner may come across as many as an older fisher but we speak of lochs where there are fish to be caught, and where each has a fair chance. Again, it is said that the boatman has as much to do with catching trout in a loch as the angler. Well, we dont deny that. In an untried loch it is necessary to have the guidance of a good boatman but the same argument holds good as to stream-fishing...

Book excerpt: World War II was the greatest airborne clash of arms in history. America?s aircraft manufacturers went from a near standing start in the late 1930?s to producing tens of thousands of planes per year. By the end of the war, they built a phenomenal 300,000 planes, a feat that most (including the German high command) thought impossible. They manufactured more aircraft in one year than had been produced in all the pre-war years since the Wright brothers invented the airplane. The Los Angeles area was the center of this remarkable effort, being the headquarters for Douglas Aircraft, Hughes, Lockheed, North American Aviation, Northrop and Vultee, as well as countless subcontractors. Thousands of aircraft workers enlisted or were drafted, leaving manufacturers with huge orders and few experienced employees. They responded by hiring women, students, disabled people and others who might not otherwise have been considered for production positions. Housewives and others with little mechanical experience rolled up their sleeves, learned fast, and brought forth an industrial achievement that ranks among America?s greatest accomplishments. Aircraft manufacturers, museums and libraries have generously opened their special collections of photographs to the author for use in this volume. Many have never been published before.
