  • Design of Seaplanes
    APPENDIX C3: Design of Seaplanes This appendix is a part of the book General Aviation Aircraft Design: Applied Methods and Procedures by Snorri Gudmundsson, published by Elsevier, Inc. The book is available through various bookstores and online retailers, such as www.elsevier.com, www.amazon.com, and many others. The purpose of the appendices denoted by C1 through C5 is to provide additional information on the design of selected aircraft configurations, beyond what is possible in the main part of Chapter 4, Aircraft Conceptual Layout. Some of the information is intended for the novice engineer, but other is advanced and well beyond what is possible to present in undergraduate design classes. This way, the appendices can serve as a refresher material for the experienced aircraft designer, while introducing new material to the student. Additionally, many helpful design philosophies are presented in the text. Since this appendix is offered online rather than in the actual book, it is possible to revise it regularly and both add to the information and new types of aircraft. The following appendices are offered: C1 – Design of Conventional Aircraft C2 – Design of Canard Aircraft C3 – Design of Seaplanes (this appendix) C4 – Design of Sailplanes C5 – Design of Unusual Configurations Figure C3-1: A Lake LA-250 Renegade, shown here during climb after T-O, is a popular option for amphibious aircraft. The large deflected flap on the horizontal tail is a hydraulically actuated trim tab used for slow speed operations only. It trims out the thrust effect of the highly mounted piston-propeller, improving its handling.

  • Coastal Command in the Second World War
    AIR POWER REVIEW VOL 21 NO 1 COASTAL COMMAND IN THE SECOND WORLD WAR By Professor John Buckley Biography: John Buckley is Professor of Military History at the University of Wolverhampton, UK. His books include The RAF and Trade Defence 1919-1945 (1995), Air Power in the Age of Total War (1999) and Monty’s Men: The British Army 1944-5 (2013). His history of the RAF (co-authored with Paul Beaver) will be published by Oxford University Press in 2018. Abstract: From 1939 to 1945 RAF Coastal Command played a crucial role in maintaining Britain’s maritime communications, thus securing the United Kingdom’s ability to wage war against the Axis powers in Europe. Its primary role was in confronting the German U-boat menace, particularly in the 1940-41 period when Britain came closest to losing the Battle of the Atlantic and with it the war. The importance of air power in the war against the U-boat was amply demonstrated when the closing of the Mid-Atlantic Air Gap in 1943 by Coastal Command aircraft effectively brought victory in the Atlantic campaign. Coastal Command also played a vital role in combating the German surface navy and, in the later stages of the war, in attacking Germany’s maritime links with Scandinavia.

  • Ken Wallace Remembers His Father and His Uncle, Douglas and Robin Wallace
    Ken Wallace remembers his father and his uncle, Douglas and Robin Wallace I was born in Edinburgh in 1950 and before moving to Balerno I lived in Baberton Crescent. Both my father, Douglas Wallace and his brother, my uncle Robin, served in the RAF in WW2. My father was an engineer in ground crew and and as far as I know was mostly assigned to Catalina Flying Boats1 in Canada. My uncle on the other hand was in the flying side and was a pilot based at some point in Singapore. He retired from the RAF when based at Lossiemouth by which time he was a Squadron Leader and families officer. He tells of one occasion in that period when an Air Vice Marshall was visiting the Officers Mess, and my uncle recognised him as a former colleague he had not seen for many years. So my uncle gate-crashed the conversation to the horror of the other officers present, only to be greeted as a long lost friend by the AVM, and they thereafter monopolised the conversation. My uncle also told me about one experience he had having been been asked to fly solo across India. I don’t know what kind of aircraft was involved but the journey involved two refuelling stops. One of those stops was at a grass runway in the middle of nowhere. Having landed he looked for the refuelling truck but there was no-one around, far less a refuelling truck. Imperial German WW1 Trench Fighting After a short time however an ox cart Mace, as described by Ken Wallace hove into view; that was the refuelling truck, and the ox’s horns were painted in BP colours.

Photo by Chris O’Neill First flown at Grumman’s newly established plant at Bethpage NY on 29 May 1937, the Goose proved to be an outstanding aircraft in both civil and military use. All models were built with variants of the 450hp P&W R-985 Wasp Junior engines. Goose production totalled 345 aircraft, ending in October 1945 at Bethpage. After WWII, military disposals Gooses were in high demand. After civil certification they were put to work in a wide variety of demanding roles, from hauling freight down the Aleutian island chain in Alaska, carrying holiday makers from Los Angeles area to Catalina Island 26 miles across the Bay in the words of a popular 1950s hit song. Others flew as executive machines, carring captains of industry to remote lakes for hunting and fishing. Numerous maintenance companies offered Goose modifications to improve performance or extend airframe life. Prominent among these was McKinnon Enterprises Inc at Sandy, Oregon, which marketed a range of upgrades, including turboprop engines. McKinnon models are detailed at the end of this listing.

    222 Scientia Militaria vol 40, no 3, 2012, pp.222-249. doi: 10.5787/40-3-1043 The South African Air Force, 1920–2012: A Review of its History and an Indication of its Cultural Heritage André Wessels • Abstract Although a South African Aviation Corps existed for a few months in 1915, and although several South Africans saw action in World War I as members of Britain’s Royal Flying Corps, the history of the South African Air Force (SAAF) – the world’s second oldest air force – strictly speaking only dates back to 1 February 1920. In this article, a review is provided of the history of the SAAF, with specific reference to its operational deployments in the 1920s; the difficult years of the great depression and its aftermath and impact on the SAAF; the very important role played by the SAAF in the course of World War II (for example in patrolling South Africa’s coastal waters, and in taking part in the campaigns in East Africa and Abyssinia, as well as in North Africa, Madagascar, Italy, over the Mediterranean and in the Balkans); the post-war rationalisation; its small but important role in the Korean War; the acquisition of a large number of modern aircraft and helicopters from the mid-1950s to the mid-1970s; the impact that sanctions had on the SAAF; the SAAF’s role in Northern Namibia and in Angola • Department of History, University of the Free State.
