  • 633 Squadron Battle of Britian
    P3 633 squadron Battle of Britain Dam Busters Music Cardboard wings (9 boys) Each boy comes in to hall in turn and a little about each plane is read out, then they all return together. During the second world war many young men where sent to fight in the skies over Britain and France in the RAF. It was due to their bravery skill and sacrifice that Germany never felt able to invade Britain. Here at Anchors we have been looking at some of the Aircraft which they flew, contrary to popular belief they weren’t all spitfires. Planes Fighters Miles M20 Emergency fighter, designed for quick production should the RAF have a shortage of fighters. The M-20 was an all-wood monoplane with fixed landing gear, using many parts of the Master trainer. It was designed and built in only 65 days and had good performance, but the R.A.F. did not need the M.20. Later the M.20 was considered as an expendable shipboard fighter. Farley Firefly Two-seat reconaissance fighter. It was a low-wing monoplane with a wide-track undercarriage, smaller than the Fulmar that preceded it, and provided with a more powerful engine. The design was deliberately conventional, to bring it into service quickly. Early Fireflies had a deep 'beard' radiator, later models had wing leading root intakes. The concept of the two-seat fighter may have been mistaken, but the Firefly was a versatile aircraft, taking part not only in WWII but also in the Korean war. The last of the 1702 built was delivered in 1956.

  • Bendheim Senior Thesis Department of History, Columbia University
    INCENDIARY WARS: The Transformation of United States Air Force Bombing Policy in the WWII Pacific Theater Gilad Bendheim Senior Thesis Department of History, Columbia University Faculty Advisor: Professor Mark Mazower Second Reader: Professor Alan Brinkley INCENDIARY WARS 1 Note to the Reader: For the purposes of this essay, I have tried to adhere to a few conventions to make the reading easier. When referring specifically to a country’s aerial military organization, I capitalize the name Air Force. Otherwise, when simply discussing the concept in the abstract, I write it as the lower case air force. In accordance with military standards, I also capitalize the entire name of all code names for operations (OPERATION MATTERHORN or MATTERHORN). Air Force’s names are written out (Twentieth Air Force), the bomber commands are written in Roman numerals (XX Bomber Command, or simply XX), while combat groups are given Arabic numerals (305th Bomber Group). As the story shifts to the Mariana Islands, Twentieth Air Force and XXI Bomber Command are used interchangeably. Throughout, the acronyms USAAF and AAF are used to refer to the United States Army Air Force, while the abbreviation of Air Force as “AF” is used only in relation to a numbered Air Force (e.g. Eighth AF). Table of Contents: Introduction 3 Part I: The (Practical) Prophets 15 Part II: Early Operations Against Japan 43 Part III: The Road to MEETINGHOUSE 70 Appendix 107 Bibliography 108 INCENDIARY WARS 2 Introduction Curtis LeMay sat awake with his trademark cigar hanging loosely from his pursed ever-scowling lips (a symptom of his Bell’s Palsy, not his demeanor), with two things on his mind.

    MAY 2009 THIS MONTH Welcome to the third edition of The Romsey Modeller. This month putting this magazine together has been a real struggle, not due to lack of content but too much, the first draft ran to 52 pages! Consequently I had to serialise many of the articles, which I will run over the next few months. As ever thanks for the fantastic support I have received from all those who have written pieces for this publication. Lack of space in this edition prevents me from publishing a full analysis of the club survey results but does provide an opportunity for anybody who hasn’t returned their survey form to do, so before I close the exercise. One item that was mentioned on almost all returns was the desire for the club to organise day trips to museums, air shows etc, with the most requested destination being the Bovington Tank Museum. I will raise this at our next meeting, I sure that it would not be too difficult to organise. While I think about our next meeting, a reminder that we will be holding a photo session, so bring some kits along. This is intended to provide some good quality images for the gallery on the website. The website is continuing to attract more visitors with traffic up 30% in the last month that equated to over 1000 unique visitors to the site from 64 countries. Back to this edition of the magazine, we have part 1 of an exclusive account written by Nigel Denchfield of his father’s wartime experiences flying Spitfires.

    A, AIR & SPA ID SE CE MU REP SEU INT M AIRCRAFT COLLECTION From the Avenger torpedo bomber, a stalwart from Intrepid’s World War II service, to the A-12, the spy plane from the Cold War, this collection reflects some of the GREATEST ACHIEVEMENTS IN MILITARY AVIATION. Photo: Liam Marshall TABLE OF CONTENTS Bombers / Attack Fighters Multirole Helicopters Reconnaissance / Surveillance Trainers OV-101 Enterprise Concorde Aircraft Restoration Hangar Photo: Liam Marshall BOMBERS/ATTACK The basic mission of the aircraft carrier is to project the U.S. Navy’s military strength far beyond our shores. These warships are primarily deployed to deter aggression and protect American strategic interests. Should deterrence fail, the carrier’s bombers and attack aircraft engage in vital operations to support other forces. The collection includes the 1940-designed Grumman TBM Avenger of World War II. Also on display is the Douglas A-1 Skyraider, a true workhorse of the 1950s and ‘60s, as well as the Douglas A-4 Skyhawk and Grumman A-6 Intruder, stalwarts of the Vietnam War.

Originally built as the TBF by Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation, they were affectionately nicknamed “Turkeys” for their somewhat ungainly appearance. Bomber Torpedo In 1943 Grumman was tasked to build the F6F Hellcat fighter for the Navy.
