CALIFORNIA 95401 October 7, 1969 NATIONAL PARKS AND RECREATION PHONE! 545-8544 PUBLIC LANDS As one who has participated actively in both aviation and aviation educationjor more than two decades,,I,commend California educators at the local and state level for their imagination and initiative in develop- ing this "Aeronautical Science Course of Study" for teachers. As an elected representative of the First District of California and as President of the Congressional Flying Club, I recognize that there is growing national interest in capitalizing on the motivation, aviation and aerospace studies provide, for students as well as teachers. Thus, I see huge potential benefit in the sharing of this "Aeronautical Science Course of Study" material which the Department of Transportation,t-Federal Aviation Administration, Aviation Education staff members have made possible through this publishing effort. Leaders of government, education and industry are increasingly recog- nizing the important role that aviation and aerospace science study provides for youth, teachers, parents and all who are interested in the future of this great nation. On the next page is tangible evidence of the importance placed upon education in man's conquest of air and space. California Governor Ronald Reagan's Proclamation, which establishes the school year beginning September 1969 as "Aerospace-Aviation Education Year" throughout the State of California is a prime example of the interest of elected public officials in encouraging aviation and aerospace education programs in our schools. It is my hope that educators in every part of the nation will find ways to use either directly, or modified to suit local needs, the valuable suggestions included in this publication.

Goals and Objectives of California Governor's Advisory Task Force on Aerospace-Aviation Education 1. To develop within the California public system of education, a planned and coordinated aerospace-aviation education program, which embodies all phases and all aspects of aviation; aeronautical, and space education. 2. To serve all levels--elementary, secondary, higher and adult education on a continuing basis in the State of California. 3. To serve the curriculum areas of general education, vocational education, adult, and in-service education. 4. To study, evaluate, and implement the findings of the California Aviation Education Advisory Commission established by the Californ:;_a State Department of Edu- cation in 1967. 5. To encourage and stimulate the formation of County Aerospace- Aviation Advisory Committees to better coordinate the implementation of programs through 'established and contemplated educational facilities and their administration. 6. To afford particular recognition and consideration to the recommendations of the Vocational Education Director and the aviation consultants to the Department of Education on how best to coordinate the integration of aerospace-aviation educa- tional materials into the general and vocational education curricula-consistent with the demands and requirements of the jet and 'pace ages. 7. To draw particular attention to the extraordinary advantages of including aircraft control manipulation as an integral part of the vocational and general education programs through the use of stationary classroom flight simulators in elementary and secondary schools, and through actual flight training programs in high schools and junior colleges where easy access to airports is available.

C. 2003 i Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data Schlight, John. Help from above : Air Force close air support of the Army 1946-1973 / John Schlight. p. cm. Includes bibliographical references and index. 1. Close air support--History--20th century. 2. United States. Air Force--History--20th century. 3. United States. Army--Aviation--History--20th century. I. Title. UG703.S35 2003 358.4'142--dc22 2003020365 ii Foreword The issue of close air support by the United States Air Force in sup- port of, primarily, the United States Army has been fractious for years. Air commanders have clashed continually with ground leaders over the proper use of aircraft in the support of ground operations. This is perhaps not surprising given the very different outlooks of the two services on what constitutes prop- er air support. Often this has turned into a competition between the two serv- ices for resources to execute and control close air support operations. Although such differences extend well back to the initial use of the airplane as a military weapon, in this book the author looks at the period 1946- 1973, a period in which technological advances in the form of jet aircraft, weapons, communications, and other electronic equipment played significant roles. Doctrine, too, evolved and this very important subject is discussed in detail. Close air support remains a critical mission today and the lessons of yesterday should not be ignored. This book makes a notable contribution in seeing that it is not ignored.

  • Junkers JU-87 Stuka Dive Bomber
    Review of Junkers JU-87 Stuka Dive Bomber Created by Milviz Intro The JU-87 Sturzkampfflugzeug, alias “Stuka” is a Second World War German dive bomber built by Junkers. It features a twin seat tandem configuration where the back seat is a gunners position facing backwards. The D and G-series of JU-87 were both powered by a three-bladed Junkers Jumo 211J liquid-cooled inverted V12 engine powering 1420 PS (1,400hp) and was a notorious and feared aircraft of that era. One of the main characteristics of the Stuka was the inverted gull wings and the dive siren that spread fear in all troops under an attack. The Stuka was designed by Hermann Pohlman and had the first flight back in 1935. It quickly made it to the Luftwaffe’s Condor Legion where it became famous for its accuracy and effectiveness towards ground targets. However the Stuka was not very agile and was therefore very vulnerable in air-to-air combat situations. Several variants were built but this review will focus on the D5 and G2 versions. The D-version is the bomber version whereas the G-version was fitted with two 37mm (1.46in) cannons with armor-piercing tungsten carbide-cored ammunition.

  • Boeing 737 MAX – Still Not Fixed
    Boeing 737 MAX – Still Not Fixed Introduction The world has heard the basic explanation given for why two new 737 MAX airplanes crashed killing 346 people. The Angle of Attack (AOA) Sensor sent faulty data to the Maneuvering Characteristics Augmentation System (MCAS) software, which caused the horizontal stabilizers to repeatedly pitch the airplanes down, overwhelming the pilots causing them to lose control. People that have been following these tragedies a little closer know the original, Boeing-installed AOA Sensor on the Lion Air airplane had been replaced the day before the crash. But there is more to the story. Important facts involving the Lion Air Flight 610 and Ethiopian Airlines Flight 302 accident investigations have gone unnoticed leading to many unanswered questions. Several factors appear to have played a direct role in the accidents—specifically, the failure of the AOA Sensors, unexplainable electrical anomalies, and the production of the airplanes—the details of which seem to have been largely ignored. There are at least three other plausible accident scenarios that have not been investigated. Background The Lion Air Final Aircraft Accident Investigation report concluded the replaced AOA Sensor was miscalibrated by 21 degrees and this miscalibration activated MCAS triggering the accident sequence.1 Ethiopia’s Ministry of Transport has not issued their final investigation report or determined the cause of their AOA Sensor failure, although a critical piece of the puzzle seems to exist. Instead they have issued two interim reports and have stated their analysis is still in progress.2 The AOA Sensor is not an algorithm in a piece of software, it is a physical part that weighs approximately three pounds.

    A/C SERIAL NO.G2 494083 SERIAL 2B INDIVIDUAL HISTORY JUNKERS Ju-87G-2 494083/8474M MUSEUM ACCESSION NUMBER 78/AF/657 Thought to have been built 1943-4 as one of 1,178 Ju87 D-5 ground-attack variants ordered, but later modified to G-2 standard, including fitting underwing mounting points for the two 37mm (1.46inch) Bk37/Flak 18 cannon carried by this variant. The werke number may have been changed from 2883 (D-5) to 494083 when rebuilt as a G-2, of which 210 were produced. (Reference: Aeroplane Monthly July 1976 - `Yesterday's Enemies' No.5, Ju87G). Hards (027926) suggests G-2 outer wings fitted to a D-3 ground attack variant airframe. c. May 45 Captured in Germany, possibly at a factory near the Russian border-Ju 87s remained operational on the Eastern Front until the end of the European war in May 1945. The British Disarmament Wing located 59 Ju-87s at the end of the war. Definitely later at Eggebek airfield, Schleswig-Holstein. Photo: War Prizes (DoRIS Ref.027726) p.151. Coded RI-JK (unidentified unit). This was one of 12 German aircraft selected by the Air Ministry for museum display, rather than as evaluation aircraft, so it did not receive an `Air Min' number. Nine of these museum aircraft still survive. 04 Sep 45 Left Eggebek by surface transport - not flown. Original markings retained for display purposes. Jan 46 Arrived at No.47 MU Sealand (Packing Depot) by this date for storage. 1947/48 Due to shortage of space at Sealand, moved to the German Air Force Equipment Centre located in five hangars at RAF Stanmore Park, Middx, along with other Air Historical Branch Aircraft and administered by No.4MU based at Ruislip from 1 Nov 1949, who provided a detachment of airmen for repairs to cased engines and aircraft.
