    Frederick Libby (Part 4 of 8)

    The American Fighter Aces Association Oral Interviews The Museum of Flight Seattle, Washington Frederick Libby (Part 4 of 8) Interviewed by: Eugene A. Valencia Interview Date: circa March 1962 2 Abstract: In this eight-part oral history, fighter ace Frederick Libby is interviewed about his life and his military service with the Royal Flying Corps during World War I. In part four, he discusses his time as an observer and pilot with various squadrons in France. Topics discussed include his thoughts on German and British pilots, military life in France and England, and mission logistics for squadrons. The interview is conducted by fellow fighter ace Eugene A. Valencia. Biography: Frederick Libby was born in the early 1890s in Sterling, Colorado. He worked as an itinerant cowboy during his youth and joined the Canadian Army shortly after the outbreak of World War I. Deployed to France in 1915, Libby initially served with a motor transport unit, then volunteered for the Royal Flying Corps. He served as an observer with No. 23 Squadron and No. 11 Squadron, then as a pilot with No. 43 Squadron and No. 25 Squadron. Scoring a number of aerial victories during his RFC career, he became the first American fighter ace. Libby transferred to the United States Army Air Service in 1917 and was medically discharged soon after for spondylitis. As a civilian, he went on to embark on a number of business ventures, including founding the Eastern Oil Company and Western Air Express. Libby passed away in 1970.

She has been graceful in assisting me as I clumsily encroached on her area of expertise, provided erudite commentary whenever it was needed, and I could not have asked for a better mentor. Secondly, I feel obliged to briefly mention my elephant man, Mark Lillas, for his persistent motivation through the summer months and his enthusiastic – albeit limited – proofreading.

Memoirs of the First World War, 1918-1939 Abstract Literature concerning aerial warfare was a new genre created by the First World War. With manned flight in its infancy, there were no significant novels or memoirs of pilots in combat before 1914. It was apparent to British publishers during the war that the new technology afforded a unique perspective on the battlefield, one that was practically made for an expanding literary marketplace.

In hindsight, it would have been better to dip in and out of it rather than to read it all in one go, as the poems did start to feel a bit similar after a while.

    08-O@D Nevil Shute Course-Fall 2015

    Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Dartmouth College (Osher@Dartmouth) Fall 2015 Course Nevil Shute: His Novels and the Films They Inspired This course will compare three of Nevil Shute’s novels with the films made from his books. We will read the books, watch the films and compare and contrast the two. Books under consideration: A Town Like Alice (19??) - One of Nevil Shute’s most beloved books. The novel was turned into a faithful, beautifully filmed mini-series starring Helen Morse and Bryan Brown. Lonely Road (1932) – There are two different and rare versions of this film. Special permission has been Granted so that they may be viewed. No Highway (1948) – Theodore Honey, a metallurGist workinG for the Royal Aircraft Establishment, develops a theory on metal fatiGue. In the film, Jimmy Stewart plays Mr. Honey and Marlene Dietrich and Glynnis John also star as two unlikely supporters of the quirky, but brilliant man. Lanfall: A Channel Story (1940) – A rare EnGlish version of this film tells the story of a wartime pilot who may have made a deadly error. The one person who may be able to clear his name is the barmaid with whom he falls in love. Note: There will be moderate reading assignments for this course. Instructor: Laura Schneider – Laura discovered Nevil Shute throuGh the PBS mini- series A Town Like Alice. Since then, Schneider has presented papers at three international biennial conferences of the Nevil Shute Norway Foundation and manaGed two other conferences (Alice SprinGs and Seattle). As a classroom teacher, Laura introduced Shute to her students.
