Scientific and Technical Information Office OFFICE OF INDUSTRY AFFAIRS AND TECHNOLOGY UTILIZATION 1971 NATIONAL AERONAUTICS AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION Washington. D.C. INTRODUCTION Under the terms of an interagency agreement with the Federal Aviation Admin- istration this publication has been prepared by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for the joint use of both agencies and the scientific and technical community concerned with the field of aeronautical engineering. This supplement to Aeronautical Engineering—A Special Bibliography (NASA SP-7QJ7) lists 283 reports, journal articles, and other documents origninally announced in December 1971 in Scientific and Technical Aerospace Reports (STAR) or in International Aerospace Abstracts (I A A). For previous bibliographies in this series, see inside of front cover. The coverage includes documents on the engineering and theoretical aspects of design, construction, evaluation, testing, operation, and performance of aircraft (includ- ing aircraft engines) and associated components, equipment, and systems. It also in- cludes research and development in aerodynamics, aeronautics, and ground support equipment for aeronautical vehicles. Each entry in the bibliography consists of a standard bibliographic citation accom- panied by an abstract. The listing of the entries is arranged in two major sections, [AA Entries and STAR Entries in that order. The citations and abstracts are reproduced exactly as they appeared originally in IAA or STAR, including the original accession numbers from the respective announcement journals. This procedure, which saves time and money, accounts for the slight variation in citation appearances. Three indexes—subject, personal author, and contract number—are included. An annual cumulative index will be published.

  • Wood, Fabric, and Wire: Insight from the Biplane Era 1919-1936
    DISTRIBUTION A: Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited. Wood, Fabric, and Wire: Insights from the Biplanes Era, 1919-1936 Forward The study of the early years of military aviation's contribution to land warfare has an obvious appeal to the historian. But, in these years of advanced technology, and the vivid demonstration of airpower in the days of Desert Storm, it is easy to forget that there are underlying continuities in warfare. It is obvious that there have been many innovations in air warfare since the days of the fabric- covered biplane. A few of these include precision guided munitions, surface-to-air missiles, night and all-weather target identification, electronic warfare, standoff and air-launched missiles, and of course, the "stealth" technology which performed so well during Desert Storm. As these technologies emerged they have been used in a wide variety of situations in Korea, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, Afghanistan, the South Atlantic, and Latin America. These more recent conflicts have been extensively analyzed by not only historians, but also by many military staffs, all in an attempt to derive some sort of "lessons" which could be used to point the way towards the most effective use of airpower in a future conflict. Such inquiries are not merely academic exercises, but are used to make force structure, training, deployments, and procurement decisions by all nations from the superpower to the emerging nation. Ultimately, they influence the decision of a nation to resort to military force as an instrument of national policy. By and large, the use of airpower in very similar situations in the period between the world wars has been ignored.

  • Ley and Lois Smith War, Memory and Popular Culture Research
    Ley and Lois Smith War, Memory and Popular Culture Research Collection Department of History The University of Western Ontario INTRODUCTION The collection is a diverse assortment of archival materials, microforms, published and printed documents, and secondary sources relating to the cultural dimensions of conflict and the collective memory of war. Its holdings, which might be broadly defined as ephemera, are strongest in a number of areas: • popular culture artifacts • materials relating to veterans organizations • children’s literature and educational materials relating to war history • military training and instructional manuals • wartime publications • materials relating to prisoners of war There are also a large number of personal files that vary in their content. Some contain a long range of correspondence or other material, while others contain a single image or artifact. The original materials in the collection are eclectic, and reflect the manner in which they have been gathered. The emphasis has not been on a coherent acquisitions policy, but rather on preserving materials that might otherwise have been lost. Visits to the collection are by appointment only. Researchers who are unable to visit the archives in person may in certain circumstances be able to purchase photocopies of selected materials. For further information, please contact: Jonathan F.

  • Arms Sales in the Middle East: Trends and Analytical Perspectives for U.S
    Arms Sales in the Middle East: Trends and Analytical Perspectives for U.S. Policy Updated November 23, 2020 Congressional Research Service https://crsreports.congress.gov R44984 Arms Sales in the Middle East: Trends and Analytical Perspectives for U.S. Policy Summary This report analyzes state-to-state arms sales in the Middle East with a particular focus on U.S. transfers, as authorized and reviewed by Congress. Arms sales historically have been one important means for Congress to influence U.S. foreign policy toward the Middle East. The information in this report, including sales data, is drawn from a number of official and unofficial open sources. Arms sales are an important tool that states can use to exercise their influence. The Middle East has long been a key driver of the global trade in weapons, to a disproportionate degree relative to its population. Some states in this heavily militarized and contested region are major arms purchasers, empowered by partnerships with outside supporters and wealth derived from vast energy reserves. Others have relied on grants and loans from the United States and other partners to supplement their more modest resources to meet defense goals. In part due to external relationships but in some cases increasingly independently, some Middle Eastern countries have developed military industrial bases that supply some of their own defense needs and/or generate profits through arms exports. The United States is the single greatest arms supplier to the Middle East by volume and value, and has been for decades. However, other major producers like Russia, France, and China are also key players in the region, and their transfers of some sophisticated but smaller volume and value items, such as armed unmanned aerial vehicles and air defense systems, may have outsized effects on regional security.

  • Science, Technology, and Know-How: Exploitation of German Science and the Challenges of Technology Transfer in the Postwar World
    Science, Technology, and Know-How: Exploitation of German Science and the Challenges of Technology Transfer in the Postwar World By Douglas Michael O'Reagan A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in charge: Professor Cathryn Carson, Chair Professor John Connelly Professor Daniel Sargent Professor Deirdre Mulligan Spring 2014 Abstract Science, Technology, and Know-How: Exploitation of German Science and the Challenges of Technology Transfer in the Postwar World by Douglas Michael O'Reagan Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor Cathryn Carson, Chair This dissertation is a comparative study of the American, British, and French efforts to exploit German science and technology following the Second World War, and through this, a transnational history of technology transfer, diplomacy, and science-state interaction in the postwar world. In the wake of the importance of science-based technologies in the Second World War, science became closely linked with diplomacy, scientific expertise took on new meanings and importance in government in each of these three nations, and the occupation of Germany created a perceived opportunity to simultaneously shape Germany's future and boost domestic industrial technology. Across the world, the relationships between science and the state changed rapidly in the postwar years, though with important national differences shaped by institutions and values. The central argument of the dissertation is that different assumptions and beliefs about technology transfer, and in particular conceptions of the importance of 'know-how' or tacit knowledge, fundamentally shaped on-the-ground policy decisions in different ways in each of these nations; and that these decisions, in turn, had important consequences for international diplomacy and domestic science and industrial policy in each of these nations.
