NOVAK ELECTRONICS proudly announces the introduction of the BANTAM M IDGET SER V O . By working closely with Dick Rehling, of D&R Products, we have been able to produce a servo that has the power, strength, speed, and durability to perform in any type of air­ plane. These new servos use the highly advanced Signetics 544 IC, offering internally regulated power supply, dynamic braking, linear ramp timing, and an exclusive temperature-compensated dead-band circuit. Servo reliability is further enhanced by the use of the Clarostat conductive plastic potentiometer and external silicon drive transistors.

Chairperson ABSTRACT A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in History to the office of Graduate and Extended Studies of East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania. Students Name: Ryan C. Clauser Title: Still Flying: Living War Memory, Monuments, and World War II Aircraft Date of Graduation: May 10, 2019 Thesis Chair: Michael P. Gray, Ph.D. Thesis Member: Christopher T. Brooks, Dr. Phil. Abstract As the Second World War came to an end it marked a new beginning in aviation technology that quickly made the aircraft of the United States Army Air Corps obsolete. Initially, the aircraft that once ruled the skies above Europe and the Pacific seemed destined to spend the rest of their existence in scrap heaps and junkyards. However, in the late 1950s new museums and organizations began to form with the sole mission of finding and restoring these former military aircraft to flying condition.

    CANADA AVIATION AND SPACE MUSEUM AVRO 504K RCAF REGISTRATIONS: G-CYFG AND G-CYCK Introduction The Avro 504 was the most successful of any of the aircraft designed and built by A.V. Roe and Company in the United Kingdom during the First World War. Thousands of planes were built in its many variants, the most prolific being the Avro 504K. This airplane was designed to accommodate the rotary engine options that were available at that time and because of its excellent flying qualities it proved to be an ideal training aircraft. It was adopted for this purpose by the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) Royal Flying Corps (RFC), later the Royal Air Force (RAF) in Great Britain. Avro 504 “FG” on display at the Canada Aviation and Space Museum (CASM), Ottawa (Colin Hine Photo) This document provides some historical details of the Avro 504’s design, development and deployment by the early Canadian Air Force (1920-1923), later Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF)i, focusing on the history of the Avro 504Ks that currently reside in the Canada Aviation and Space Museum (CASM) collection. These planes have a particularly interesting history, having played an active flying role during the 1967 Canadian Centennial celebrations. The enormous effort required to restore the planes to flying condition, on a miniscule budget by today’s standards, is a tribute to the skills, ingenuity and dedication of the reconstruction and flying teams involved. Avro 504K G-CYCK flying over Vancouver Island, 1967 In 1920 Canada received an Imperial Gift of 62 Avro (Photo via: William Ewing Collection) 504K’s along with a number of other aircraft from the United Kingdom.
