  • DISASTERS in CUMBRIA SINCE the 19Th CENTURY an Overview June
    DISASTERS IN CUMBRIA SINCE THE 19th CENTURY An Overview June 2020 Mankind has always had to contend with problems arising in the natural world, from earthquakes, volcanoes, hurricanes, drought, disease and more. Since the development of modern technology, one can add failures of design, (e.g. bridge collapses), improper use (human error) and pushing the boundaries of knowledge too far. Cumbria has a long list of all of these - one wonders if an undue share. This articled highlights some of the worst since the 19th C. Each event would have had a major impact on its local community, both in economic and psychological terms. 1 1910 Wellington pit disaster 2 1914-18 World War I 3 1918 ‘Spanish’ flu Pandemic 4 1920’s Haig pit fatalities 1922,1928,1931 5 1930 Development of Loss of Mardale village Haweswater 6 1930’s Mass unemployment 7 1940’s World War II Bombing in Barrow 8 1946 Harrington pit disaster 9 1947 William pit disaster 10 1957 Windscale Nuclear pile fire 11 1986 Chernobyl Farming impact 12 2001 Foot & Mouth Farming impact 13 2005 Major flood Carlisle 14 2009 Major flood Cockermouth & Derwent valley 15 2010 Multiple shootings West Cumbria 16 2015 Major floods Appleby, Kendal, Glenridding 17 2020 Coronavirus Pandemic In the early years covered by this overview the records of the events was entirely hand-written and analysing these a painstaking task. In addition there was (and still often is) no common accord as to what should be included and what excluded. Since many a government wanted to present the best or the least – worst picture, true comparisons are difficult.

  • The Cult of the Lightweight Fighter: Culture and Technology in the U.S. Air Force, 1964-1991
    The Cult of the Lightweight Fighter: Culture and Technology in the U.S. Air Force, 1964-1991 by Michael Wayne Hankins B.A., University of North Texas, 2007 M.S., University North Texas, 2013 AN ABSTRACT OF A DISSERTATION submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Department of History College of Arts and Sciences KANSAS STATE UNIVERSITY Manhattan, Kansas 2018 Abstract In the late 20th and early 21st centuries, military aviation technology grew expensive and politically divisive, and this is not without precedent. In the 1960s and 1970s, the F-15 Eagle and F-16 Falcon represented a controversial shift both in the cost of development and in tactical doctrine for the United States Air Force (USAF), yet the motivating factors that influenced their design are not fully understood. Most of the literature either has focused on a teleological exploration of technical evolution or has held to a “genius inventor” paradigm, lionizing individual engineers and planners. Other works have focused on these aircraft as factors that changed the Air Force's tactical approach to warfighting or have simply evaluated their combat performance. Although these approaches are valuable, they do not account for the effect that institutional culture and historical memory had on the F-15 and F-16 programs. This dissertation argues that the culture of the fighter pilot community was based on a constructed memory of World War I fighter combat, idealizing a heroic, romanticized image of “Knights of the Air.” This fighter pilot community attempted to influence the F-15 and F-16 programs to conform to their vision of an idealized past.

APPENDIX – FIELD RECORDING SHEET 32 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The staff of the Morecambe Bay Partnership and Manchester Metropolitan University would like to thank: all the volunteers, without whom this work would have been impossible; the contributors to our workshop sessions on Walney Island who provided personal memories and information; and the staff of South Walney Nature Reserve from the Cumbria Wildlife Trust for access, advice and a warm, dry place to shelter. 2 1. INTRODUCTION This report details archaeological survey and recording in the area of South Walney, Walney Island, Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria. The survey activity was integral to the training of local volunteers in archaeological recording. A series of recording workshops and survey days were undertaken, where the under- recorded military heritage of South Walney was surveyed. The area saw military activity since the first decade of the twentieth century, as Barrow was developing as a centre for the manufacture of naval armaments. A fort and batteries were constructed prior to the First World War, when Vickers Armstrong at Barrow were constructing airships, and the town was recognised as being at risk from naval bombardment. The defences were expanded and upgraded during the Second World War, with a renewed focus on anti-aircraft provision alongside the continued defence of the sea-lanes into the port of Barrow.

  • Boris Chertok
    chertok cover full 12/21/04 1:51 PM Page 1 Rockets and People Rockets and People Volume I and Much has been written in the West on the history Rockets of the Soviet space program but few Westerners have read direct first-hand accounts of the men and women who were behind the many Russian People accomplishments in exploring space.The memoirs of Academician Boris Chertok, translated from the original Russian, fills that gap. Chertok began his career as an electrician in 1930 at an aviation factory near Moscow.Twenty-seven years later, he became deputy to the founding figure of the Soviet space program, the mysterious “Chief Designer” Sergey Korolev. Chertok’s sixty-year-long career and the many successes and failures of the Soviet space program constitute the core of his memoirs, Rockets and People. In these writings, spread over four volumes,Academician Chertok not only describes and remembers, but also elicits and extracts profound insights from an epic story about a society’s quest to explore the cosmos. Volume I In Volume 1, Chertok describes his early years as an engineer and ends with the mission to Germany after the end of World War II when the Soviets BiEChtk captured Nazi missile technology and expertise. Volume 2 takes up the story with the development of the world’s first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) and ends with the launch of Sputnik and the early Moon probes. In Volume 3, Chertok recol- lects the great successes of the Soviet space program in the 1960s including the launch of the world’s first space voyager Yuriy Gagarin as well as many events connected with the Cold War.
