  • PRESIDENT's MUSINGS OCTOBER 2015 Many of Us Attended The
    PRESIDENT'S MUSINGS OCTOBER 2015 Many of us attended the Navy Ball at the Atrium Flemington Racecourse on October 17th, and the consensus is that it was a splendid occasion. Our congratulations go to the organising committee for a job well done. Personally I had a great time! Traditionally we have 'Show and Tell' as part of our AGM and we urge you to check out that trunk in the attic and share your treasures with your friends, who are sure to believe everything you tell them about it! Show and tell is a lot of fun and we are sure to share a few laughs together, as always! Rex's Odyssey – Part 1: My son, David, is working in Manila and so my trip, over two months, really started and ended in the Philippines. It was really great to catch up with the Williams family and be with them for a couple of weeks sharing their new environment. I'd like to also share with you my time at the American Cemetery in Manila and my day trip to Corregidor Island. The American Cemetery and Memorial is set on 152 acres, and burials number 17,201 most of who lost their lives in operations in the New Guinea and Philippines area. The headstones are aligned in 11 plots forming a generally circular pattern, set amongst lush lawns and beautiful trees white and shrubs. It is indeed a beautiful resting place which is maintained to perfection. The chapel building is situated near the centre of the complex and in front of it on a wide terrace are two large hemicycles containing 25 mosaic maps recalling the achievements of America and her allies in the Pacific, Chinese Indian and Burmese theatres during WWII.

  • Airshows in California
    Airshows In California If you like to watch cool airplanes fly around, there is hardly a better state to live in than beautiful California. The great weather has made our state home to many air bases and to many passionate private owners of interesting aircraft. All the crop-dusting that goes on in the Central Valley produces many a fine aerobat. Nasa's Ames Research Center, right in Silicon Valley, has been at the leading edge of fluid dynamics studies for a while (they have the largest wind tunnel in the world). Also, much of the USAF's recon units are not too far from there, in the Sacramento area. Heading south, Lemoore is one of the US Navy's biggest fighter-jet bases. Further south; the LA area headquarters Northrop Grumman and AeronVironment and is home to some Boeing and Lockheed facilities, not to mention Vandenberg's rocket launchpads. And finally, the importance of Southern California's Antelope Valley to the development and testing of modern aviation technologies cannot be overstated, from Edwards Air Force Base and the Nasa Dryden Flight Research Center (where the sound barrier was first broken and where proof-of-concept X-planes still fly) to all the prototyping/testing facilities at Palmdale and the home of Scaled Composites in Mojave. So if you like aviation, there are few places you'd rather be at than California. And where there are a lot of people making aviation happen... there are airshows. If you live in California and think you might enjoy going to an airshow, here are some you can pick from.

  • The Canadian Militia in the Interwar Years, 1919-39
    THE POLICY OF NEGLECT: THE CANADIAN MILITIA IN THE INTERWAR YEARS, 1919-39 ___________________________________________________________ A Dissertation Submitted to the Temple University Graduate Board ___________________________________________________________ in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY __________________________________________________________ by Britton Wade MacDonald January, 2009 iii © Copyright 2008 by Britton W. MacDonald iv ABSTRACT The Policy of Neglect: The Canadian Militia in the Interwar Years, 1919-1939 Britton W. MacDonald Doctor of Philosophy Temple University, 2008 Dr. Gregory J. W. Urwin The Canadian Militia, since its beginning, has been underfunded and under-supported by the government, no matter which political party was in power. This trend continued throughout the interwar years of 1919 to 1939. During these years, the Militia’s members had to improvise a great deal of the time in their efforts to attain military effectiveness. This included much of their training, which they often funded with their own pay. They created their own training apparatuses, such as mock tanks, so that their preparations had a hint of realism. Officers designed interesting and unique exercises to challenge their personnel. All these actions helped create esprit de corps in the Militia, particularly the half composed of citizen soldiers, the Non- Permanent Active Militia. The regulars, the Permanent Active Militia (or Permanent Force), also relied on their own efforts to improve themselves as soldiers. They found intellectual nourishment in an excellent service journal, the Canadian Defence Quarterly, and British schools. The Militia learned to endure in these years because of all the trials its members faced. The interwar years are important for their impact on how the Canadian Army (as it was known after 1940) would fight the Second World War.
