  • The War Years
    1941 - 1945 George Northsea: The War Years by Steven Northsea April 28, 2015 George Northsea - The War Years 1941-42 George is listed in the 1941 East High Yearbook as Class of 1941 and his picture and the "senior" comments about him are below: We do know that he was living with his parents at 1223 15th Ave in Rockford, Illinois in 1941. The Rockford, Illinois city directory for 1941 lists him there and his occupation as a laborer. The Rockford City Directory of 1942 lists George at the same address and his occupation is now "Electrician." George says in a journal written in 1990, "I completed high school in January of 1942 (actually 1941), but graduation ceremony wasn't until June. In the meantime I went to Los Angeles, California. I tried a couple of times getting a job as I was only 17 years old. I finally went to work for Van De Camp restaurant and drive-in as a bus boy. 6 days a week, $20.00 a week and two meals a day. The waitresses pitched in each week from their tips for the bus boys. That was another 3 or 4 dollars a week. I was fortunate to find a garage apartment a few blocks from work - $3 a week. I spent about $1.00 on laundry and $2.00 on cigarettes. I saved money." (italics mine) "The first part of May, I quit my job to go back to Rockford (Illinois) for graduation. I hitch hiked 2000 miles in 4 days. I arrived at my family's house at 4:00 AM one morning.

H. Begg HONORS Service Streamers Campaign Streamers Armed Forces Expeditionary Streamers Decorations EMBLEM MOTTO NICKNAME OPERATIONS Activated in March 1945 at a crucial stage in the progress of the War Department's atomic bomb program, the 1st Ordnance Squadron, Special (Aviation) became a member of the 509th Composite Group to bring overseas the men, skill, and equipment needed to assemble the atomic bombs which were dropped with such devastating effect on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The blows against these cities were a culmination for the members of the squadron and more than rewarded them for the hard work and long hours spent in training and testing for the raids which were to startle the world. The men had been working with top scientists on the atomic bomb program for over nine months in a military unit different from any standard army organization. Under the leadership of Major Charles F. H. Begg the squadron's personnel consisted of a group of picked officers and enlisted men from all branches of the armed forces. So exacting were the technical and military security requirements for the squadron that only twenty per cent of those having basic qualifications for the work were accepted.

    Atomic Heritage Foundation Preserving and Interpreting Manhattan Project History & Legacy Making A manhattan Project National Historical Park AnnualAnnual ReportReport 2010 Why should We Preserve the Manhattan Project? “The factories and bombs that Manhattan Project scientists, engineers, and workers built were physical objects that depended for their operation on physics, chemistry, metallurgy, and other natural sciences, but their social reality - their meaning, if you will - was human, social, political. We preserve what we value of the physical past because it specifically embodies our social past. When we lose parts of our physical past, we lose parts of our common social past as well.” “The new knowledge of nuclear energy has undoubtedly limited national sovereignty and scaled down the destructiveness of war. If that’s not a good enough reason to work for and contribute to the Manhattan Project’s historic preservation, what would be?” -Richard Rhodes, “Why We Should Preserve the Manhattan Project,” Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, May/June 2006 Remnant of the K-25 plant during the demolition of the east wing.

    The Other Atomic Bomb Commander: Colonel Cliff Heflin and his “Special” 216th AAF Base Unit 14 AIR POWER History / WINTER 2012 Darrell F. Dvorak AIR POWER History / WINTER 2012 15 (Overleaf) B–17s at he Distinguished Service Medal is earned for Wendover AAFB. “exceptionally meritorious service to the gov- T ernment in a duty of great responsibility, in combat or otherwise.” The U.S. Air Force’s third- most prestigious award, it is rarely given to airmen lower than major general, but it was awarded to Col. Clifford J. Heflin upon his retirement in 1968 after thirty-one years of service. Heflin was recom- mended for the DSM primarily because he had com- manded two vital, top secret and highly successful projects in World War II. Few people—military or civilian—knew about those commands at the time, and even fewer knew about them when Heflin died in 1980. The story of his first command began to emerge in 1985 but remains little known, and the story of his second command is remembered only by his immediate family. Both deserve to be univer- sally known because together they change the pre- vailing narrative of the Army Air Forces (AAF) role in the atomic bombing of Japan. This paper is based on Heflin’s private records, overlooked primary sources, and prior scholarship. It addresses three key questions: Why was Heflin chosen for a top com- mand in the atomic bomb project; what were his specific contributions to that project; and why has his story been overlooked? After almost seventy years, “The Manhattan Further sessions between Groves and Arnold in July Project” is widely recognized as the codename for the and August conceptually defined two key organiza- massive, top secret U.S.

  • GROUNDS for PERMANENT WAR Land Appropriation, Exceptional
    GROUNDS FOR PERMANENT WAR Land Appropriation, Exceptional Powers, and the Mid-Century Militarization of Western North American Environments by Brandon C. Davis A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (History) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) May 2017 © Brandon C. Davis, 2017 ABSTRACT Few areas across globe have escaped the pressures of militarization. Despite the many significant developments and repercussions tied to the military control of vast areas of national territories, the complex intersections between militarization and the environment have only recently attracted scholarly attention. This dissertation argues that the contemporary condition of global permanent war and ongoing state of emergency are rooted in the military control of land and other natural resources. During the mid-twentieth century buildup of North American defense forces, the practice of military land appropriation not only legitimized and expanded certain types of unilateral, emergency powers but also produced secret and legally permissive spaces in which the exercise of such extraordinary powers and related military land use practices could be more freely conducted. A major impetus driving these mid-century land use developments was the rise of unconventional weapons of mass destruction. Not only did such weapons technologies destabilize the global political order but they also brought about a multitude of disruptions at local sites. By investigating the establishment and operations of two of the world’s largest, most secretive, and longest-lasting chemical and biological weapons proving grounds—the U.S. Army’s Dugway Proving Ground in western Utah and the Canadian-and U.K.-controlled Suffield Experimental Station in southeastern Alberta—this study reveals how the imperatives of permanent war have had critical influence in shaping the workings of power between local citizens, government, and the environment in western North America.

  • The Political and Economic Influence on Northwest Airlines' Route
    國立臺灣師範大學地理學系 第四十三屆碩士論文 The Political and Economic Influence on Northwest Airlines’ Route Network in East Asia 指導教授：洪致文 研 究 生：延欣智 中華民國一〇三年六月 ABSTRACT Author: Hsin-chih Yen Advisor: Dr. Chih-wen Hung Title: The Political and Economic Influence on Northwest Airlines’ Route Network in East Asia Institution: Department of Geography, National Taiwan Normal University Degree: Master of Liberal Arts Year: 2014 Northwest Airlines operated one of the largest international route networks in East Asia from 1947 to 2010. Although Taiwan became one of its stops in Asia since 1950, it was not in the original network plan. The complex political, military, diplomatic and economic relationships between Taiwan, China, the U.S.A and other East Asian countries deeply affected airlines development and route network after the Second World War. The aim of this research attempts to analyze how these factors affected Northwest Airlines’ route network, and to understand the development of Northwest Airlines in Asia. Moreover, this research also analyzes Taiwan’s position in Northwest Airlines’ route network. The results suggest that many various factors played different roles throughout time. From the late 1940s to 1960s, Northwest Airlines’ route network was affected significantly by political and military factors because of wars and containment of communist forces. From the 1970s to the 1980s, with the international situation changing rapidly, diplomatic factor played an important role. After the 1980s, the airlines industry became less restricted, which enabled airlines to make decisions based upon the market instead of political interference. Therefore, economic factor has become more important than before. These findings have implications for understanding foreign airlines business development in East Asia rather than local airlines.

  • Australia Through the Prism of Qantas: Distance Makes a Comeback
    The Otemon Journal of Australian Studies, vol. 31, pp. 135−157, 2005 １３５ Australia Through the Prism of Qantas: Distance Makes a Comeback Peter J. Rimmer* Abstract Distance and remoteness have been making a comeback among economists interpreting Australia’s place in the world. Although there are claims by telecommunications theorists that distance is dead, this is not the case in international air transport. As a means of elaborating this proposition, attention is focused on tracing changes in the overseas operations and route network of Qantas (Queensland and Northern Territory Aerial Services Ltd) since its inception in 1920. After discussing Qantas’s origins three issues are explored: how did Qantas reflect Australia’s Imperial connection; how did the nationalization of Qantas reshape the airline’s pri- orities; how has the privatization of Qantas changed the airline’s main concerns? There is an abundance of material on the history and development of Qantas’s international passenger net- work to address these issues. The material ranges from annual reports; company histories; auto- biographies and a biography of co-founder Sir W. H. Fysh (1895−1974); anecdotes from for- mer pilots providing insights into the places used for their ‘slips’ or crew stopovers between flights; paraphernalia such as timetables and posters; the travel diaries of frequent (and infre- quent) flyers; a living memory bank in George A. Roberts (born 1909), who worked for the company between 1936 and 1970 and who now manages the Qantas Historical Collection; and Qantas Virtual Airway providing detailed information for game-players to simulate historic, current and future flights.
