  • NUI MAYNOOTH MILITARY AVIATION in IRELAND 1921- 1945 By
    L.O. 4-1 ^4- NUI MAYNOOTH QllftMll II hiJfiifin Ui Mu*« MILITARY AVIATION IN IRELAND 1921- 1945 By MICHAEL O’MALLEY THESIS FOR THE DEGREE OF PHD DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY NATIONAL UNIVERSITY OF IRELAND MAYNOOTH Supervisor of Research: Dr. Ian Speller JANUARY 2007 IRISH MILITARY AVIATION 1921 - 1945 This thesis initially sets out to examine the context of the purchase of two aircraft, on the authority of Michael Collins and funded by the second Dail, during the Treaty negotiations of 1921. The subsequent development of civil aviation policy including the regulation of civil aviation, the management of a civil aerodrome and the possible start of a state sponsored civil air service to Britain or elsewhere is also explained. Michael Collins’ leading role in the establishment of a small Military Air Service in 1922 and the role of that service in the early weeks of the Civil War are examined in detail. The modest expansion in the resources and role of the Air Service following Collins’ death is examined in the context of antipathy toward the ex-RAF pilots and the general indifference of the new Army leadership to military aviation. The survival of military aviation - the Army Air Corps - will be examined in the context of the parsimony of Finance, and the administrative traumas of demobilisation, the Anny mutiny and reorganisation processes of 1923/24. The manner in which the Army leadership exercised command over, and directed aviation policy and professional standards affecting career pilots is examined in the contexts of the contrasting preparations for war of the Army and the Government.

The War That Never Came: Creating, Transmitting and Maintaining Handed- Down Memories of the Emergency in Ireland. Acknowledging Family Recollections of WWII 1 Abstract: Within the context of WWII, this essay explores the notion of national and personal conflict within individuals and communities in Ireland, part of which had undergone the severing of imperial connections and the attainment of national independence less than a full generation before. In Ireland, the conflict of war on a wider stage impinged upon an inner conflict closer to the heart. To go or not to go… to war.

  • Fort Shannon: a Case History in Anglo-Irish Cooperation During the Second World War (A Revised and Updated Version of What Appeared in the Irish Sword)
    Fort Shannon: a case history in Anglo-Irish cooperation during the second world war (A revised and updated version of what appeared in The Irish Sword) D. de Cogan and S. Swords Introduction This paper is concerned with a battery comprising two six inch guns which was constructed at Ardmore Point on the south side of the river Shannon in 1942. The fact that Ireland was a neutral country during the war raises many questions, which have yet to be answered. We were led to this study through various routes. Research into the history of communications from Ireland led to a study of meteorological reporting, particularly the weather forecasting provision at the flying-boat base at Foynes during the second world war. This in turn led to a reassessment of Anglo-Irish collaborative arrangements during this period. There was an additional interest born of the war-time reminiscences of M.F. de Cogan (hereafter designated MFdeC), as related to his son, one of the authors. He had been involved in the construction of Fort Shannon, as the battery was called. Although this was some distance down-river from Foynes it could nevertheless have provided defensive cover for this facility. It was a massive undertaking at a time when raw materials were in short supply and there was no local source of manufacture. It was therefore most likely that the guns, other equipment and infra-structure were provided by Britain, but the questions, how? and why? remain. This paper represents a first attempt to address these issues. It is not an easy task, not least because much is still shrouded in secrecy.

  • Lough Erne Landscape Conservation Action Plan - Part 1
    Lough Erne Landscape Conservation Action Plan Lough Erne Landscape Conservation Action Plan Row the Erne If I had to offer up just one thing I have learned from my years of environmental campaigning, it would be this: any attempt to protect nature from the worst human depredation has to speak to people where they are. It has to make us all feel that the natural world, the non-human realm, is not an obstacle in the way of our progress but a part of our community that we should nurture; a part of our birthright. In other words, we need to tie our ecological identity in with our cultural identity... Our oldest identity is one that still holds us in its grip, whether we know it or not. Like the fox in the garden or the bird in the tree, we are all animals in a place. If we have a future, cultural or ecological – and they are the same thing, in the end – it will begin with a quality of attention and a defense of loved things. All else is for the birds, and the foxes too. Paul Kingsnorth 2016 “When people become interested in being carried back in their lives what they find becomes more than memory, because memory becomes heritage, and when it becomes heritage it becomes precious”. Henry Glassie Battles Bricks and Bridges 2014 Foreword Who possesses this landscape? The man who bought it or I who am possessed by it? False questions, for this landscape is masterless and intractable in any terms that are human.

  • World War II Sunderland DW110 Aeroplane Crashed in the Bluestack Mountains
    World War II Sunderland DW110 Aeroplane Crashed in the Bluestack Mountains 31st January 1944 To understand the situation properly a little knowledge of the history of Ireland (Eire) is required. This part of the island of Ireland had only become a self governing country in its own right after centuries of rule by England the young state was in existence for about 16 years, it had suffered from the effects of a war of Independence from British rule. This was followed by an internal Civil War that left much bitterness amongst the factions involved. When the Second World War broke out in September 1939 Ireland was in no position to become involved, in fact some years before hand the deValera led government had declared a policy of neutrality. This was supported by the opposition parties. The Battle of the Atlantic commenced right away after war was declared, the German U-boats attacked Allied shipping convoys in the Atlantic Ocean, hundreds of ship were sunk, thousands of lives lost, the situation was very serious. In December 1940 a survey was carried out on Lough Erne with a view to having flying boat bases built there. This was the most westerly point in the United Kingdom from where planes could patrol the Atlantic and offer some protection to the shipping convoys against the dreaded U-boats. Early in 1941 the first Flying boats were based on Lough Erne. They were not permitted to fly over the territory of Ireland, this meant that they had to first fly northwards then change the flight path and go west.
