Over the past 75 years, there have only been a few magazine articles on the gigantic Douglas XB-19 bomber, usually showing it in photos dwarfi ng the aircraft around it. Since the XB-19 project was top secret and there was only one example, there is litt le information remaining for researchers. William Wolf presents this enigmatic bomber, a “Flying Laboratory” that was the precursor to America’s fi rst intercontinental bomber, the Continental B-36 Peacemaker. Wolf has used original Douglas and Army Air Force documents and very rare (as few were needed for one bomber) Erection & Maintenance Manuals in this history, which also includes never-seen-before photos and color profi les. Th is volume is a must for the aviation historian, enthusiast, and modeler. William Wolf is a retired dentist whose consuming 45-year passion is WWII air combat and aircraft , having over 25,000 books and magazines, 1,000s of downloaded CDs, and three miles of microfi lm on WWII in his library.

Th e Air Defense Command created air command centers, radar stations, ground observer corps, and fi ghter-interceptor squadrons. Th e 54th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron (54th FIS), based at Ellswortjh AFB, South Dakota, protected the Strategic Air Command’s assets at Ellsworth AFB (nuclear alert bombers and tankers and intercontinental ballistic missiles). From 1951 to 1960, the men of the 54th FIS protected North America from possible air att ack by long-range Russian Air Force bombers. Th e threat was deemed real at the time, only later shown to be less serious as the CIA overfl ew the Soviet Union with high-fl ying Lockheed U-2 reconnaissance aircraft . Lt. Col. George A.

  • Fascist Italy's Aerial Defenses in the Second World War

    Fascist Italy's Aerial Defenses in the Second World War

    Fascist Italy's Aerial Defenses in the Second World War CLAUDIA BALDOLI ABSTRACT This article focuses on Fascist Italy's active air defenses during the Second World War. It analyzes a number of crucial factors: mass production of anti- aircraft weapons and fighters; detection of enemy aircraft by deploying radar; coordination between the Air Ministry and the other ministries involved, as well as between the Air Force and the other armed services. The relationship between the government and industrialists, as well as that between the regime and its German ally, are also crucial elements of the story. The article argues that the history of Italian air defenses reflected many of the failures of the Fascist regime itself. Mussolini's strategy forced Italy to assume military responsibilities and economic commitments which it could not hope to meet. Moreover, industrial self-interest and inter-service rivalry combined to inhibit even more the efforts of the regime to protect its population, maintain adequate armaments output, and compete in technical terms with the Allies. KEYWORDS air defenses; Air Ministry; anti-aircraft weapons; bombing; Fascist Italy; Germany; radar; Second World War ____________________________ Introduction The political and ideological role of Italian air power worked as a metaphor for the regime as a whole, as recent historiography has shown. The champions of aviation, including fighter pilots who pursued and shot down enemy planes, represented the anthropological revolution at the heart of the totalitarian experiment.1 As the Fascist regime had practiced terrorist bombing on the civilian populations of Ethiopian and Spanish towns and villages before the Second World War, the Italian political and military leadership, press, and industrialists were all aware of the potential role of air 1.

    Catherine & André Hug present : Carte blanche à CLAIRbyKahnGallery Erich Hartmann " Erich Hartmann, the Poetry of Daily Life " March 21 - May 4th 2019 Galerie Catherine et André Hug 40, rue de Seine / 2, rue de l’Échaudé 75006 Paris www.galeriehug.com Mardi au samedi : 11h à 13h et 14h30 à 19h The Kiss,©ErichHartmann/MagnumPhotos/CLAIRbyKahn The Erich Hartmann, The Poetry of Daily Life exhibition emerged from a chance meeting and an immediate enchantment. The meeting was between Anna-Patricia Kahn, who is the director of CLAIRbyKahn, and Catherine and André Hug, who are the renowned owners of their eponymous gallery in Paris. And the enchantment took place the instant Catherine and André were shown the Erich Hartmann oeuvre. Then and there, they decided to give a "carte blanche" for a Hartmann show to CLAIRbyKahn, the gallery which represents the photographer’s archives. Hartmann (b. 1922 in Munich, d. 1999 in New York) is celebrated for the subtle, mysterious poetry that emanates from his photography, the play of shadow and light that is captivating yet respectful. He embraced places, objects, and people with his camera, never unsettling the moment, always capturing it in a way that allowed it to be rediscovered. The Poetry of Daily Life exhibition features 27 images by Hartmann that magnify the glory of the ordinary and the dignity of the routine. The photographs on display are all vintage prints that have the unique quality of being developed by Hartmann’s own hand. This will be a momentous year for the Erich Hartmann archives as there will also be two major museum exhibitions consecrated to the legendary photographer: in Bale, Switzerland from February to July 2019 as part of a collective exhibition Isrealities; and then in November 2019, his Irish portfolio will be exhibited at the National Gallery of Ireland in Dublin.

    Die He 219 A-2, Werknummer 290013, wurde in Rostock gebaut. Das Foto zeigt die Maschine kurz nach ihrer Fertigstel- lung auf dem Heinkel-Werkflugplatz Marienehe. Das Bordradar FuG 220 Lichtenstein SN 2 ist noch nicht eingebaut, wie die fehlenden Dipolantennen an den Bughalterungen zeigen. Nachtjagdflugzeug Heinkel He 219 – schon bei der Entwicklung unter Beschuss von Dr. Volker Koos (ADL) 09.2016 durchgesehene und ergänzte Fassung der Erstveröffentlichung in Flugzeug Classic Heft 9-10/2008 Unbestreitbar – mit dem Nachtjäger He 219 gelang Ernst Heinkel ein großer Wurf. Schon beim ersten Einsatz vor 65 Jahren entpuppte sich die He 219 als voller Erfolg: Im Schutze einer Juni-Nacht schoss Major Streib, Komman- deur der I. Gruppe des Nachtjagdgeschwaders 1, fünf feindliche Bomber ab. Weitaus unbekannter jedoch ist die Entwicklungsgeschichte des erfolgreichen Nachtjägers. Am Boden musste Heinkel gegen ein Chaos aus festgefahrener Bürokratie, Fachkräftemangel und Bombardements der Produktions- standorte ankämpfen. Entstehungsgeschichte Dass aus der He 219 ein Nachtjäger werden sollte, war zu Beginn der Entwicklung noch nicht abzusehen. Denn das Projekt, das unter der Nummer P 1055 Ende 1940 bei den Ernst Heinkel Flugzeugwerken (EHF) in Rostock-Marienehe auf Basis der He 119 ins Leben gerufen wurde, zielte ursprünglich in Richtung Mehrzweckflugzeug und Aufklärer. Am 11. Januar 1941 erhielt es mit der 219 eine Typennummer, die eigentlich Dornier zugeteilt war. Wie der Schnellbomber He 119 besaß die 219 im Rumpf untergebrachte Doppelmotoren, aber ein doppeltes Seitenleitwerk. Ein Entwurf vom 23. April 1941 sah vor, dass ein DB 615 per Untersetzungsgetriebe und Fernwellen die gegenläufigen Dreiblatt-Luftschrauben mit jeweils 4,5 Metern Durchmesser antrieb.

This massive, comprehensive volume is the first to give the reader a definitive description of this neglected bomber, its development, testing, and manufacture. The role of the enigmatic aviation icon Glenn L. Martin is described in the development of the American aviation industry and the Marauder. The author made extensive use of the massive document and photo collections of the Marauder Archives at Akron and Tucson, and the Air Force collection at the NMUSAF. Martin Company design and production information and flight and test evaluations, along with original Company Flight, Parts, and Maintenance Manuals, and rare archival microfilm of original material were also used. The author was given unprecedented access to the family records of B-26 designer Peyton Magruder. The text is complemented by archival photos and drawings, and new color photos of the Marauders at the NMUSAF, Fantasy of Flight, and MAPS Museum.

    Arado Ar 234 "Blitz" in Soviet Service Armstrong Whitworth "Albemarle" In

    This production list is presented to you by the editorial team of "Soviet Transports" - current to the beginning of January 2021. Additions and corrections are welcome at [email protected] Arado Ar 234 "Blitz" in Soviet service Soviet troops captured one example of the world's first jet bomber in northern Germany in spring 1945 (Russian sources state that it was found at Pütnitz in March, but Pütnitz was occupied by the Red Army only on 2 May). The aircraft underwent short trials at Rechlin in early 1946, but suffered from repeated engine problems. As the Soviet specialists involved in the trials were not impressed by the "Blitz" they refrained from sending it to the Soviet Union. It is probable that further Ar 234s (especially of the Ar 234C-3 version) fell into Soviet hands when the Red Army captured the Arado factory at Alt-Lönnewitz (Brandenburg) on 24 April 1945. One Russian source states that one Ar 234B and one Ar 234C were despatched to the Soviet Union where they underwent comprehensive study - in particular, one of the aircraft was thoroughly examined by BNT, the Bureau of New Technology.
