It simply is not possible to arrive at absolute truth with a small number of investigations. Physics at the freshman level is a very straightforward subject. Facts are well known, relationships are stated in forthright terms without equivocation, and there is little room for doubt. It takes three years or more, and perhaps graduate school before it finally dawns on a budding scientist that the whole structure of science, so monumental when viewed from a distance, is a cracked and sagging edifice held together with masking tape and resting on the shifting sands of constantly changing theory. Very little is known with any real certainty. Some things are merely more probable than others. Well-known theories and even laws turn out to be only partially confirmed hypotheses, waiting to be replaced with somewhat better partially confirmed hypotheses. If there is one thing we know about every theory in modern physics as taught in public schools today, it is that it is wrong, or at least incomplete. Sooner or later somebody will come along with a more general theory of which the old theory is seen to be a special case, generally inaccurately stated. That said, it is still true that many things are known sufficiently well that scientists and engineers have, in teamwork with other professions, created societies worldwide that can and have - despite those antisocial beings who have slowed things down for their own purposes - increased science and engineering dramatically since the last catastrophe that killed most of the population on this planet. We are now about to be assisted in rejoining the other civilizations in this galaxy. Interestingly enough we produce things they value also and for which they wish to trade. The science that is known by secret, and non-secret, organizations in and out of the government is very different from that taught in schools available to the public today. There are individuals and small groups of people who have done their own independent investigations and experiments and found answers quite different from what is taught in public schools. Many of these inventors have been assassinated to prevent them from letting the public know that there is technology available that would obviate paying for fuel and electricity. As deep throat said, Follow the money! One person, Patrick J Kelley, has accumulated gigabytes of data on unusual inventions. Some are what some call ZPE (Zero Point Energy) inventions. He offers a free ebook describing various inventions he has investigated. His free ebook can be downloaded. It is about forty eight gigabytes (GB). There are additional reference materials, patents, and ebooks on his website - another 60-75 GB of data. His website is: http://free-energy-info. com Zero Point Energy (ZPE) is also known as Radiant energy. Tesla used a spark gap in a circuit carrying a direct current of electricity. The flow of the electric current in the wire produced a circular ring of magnetic energy surrounding the wire much like a ring fits around a finger. The spark also produced another energy phenomenon. This phenomenon was called Radiant energy as it emanated in a straight line from the wire like light. Radiant energy is very much like light. Like light it is not visible and is only detectable when it impinges on an object. The object or particle then becomes visible. If the object the radiant energy strikes is metal, it causes an electric current flow in the metal. Radiant energy is sometimes referred to as longitudinal energy flow. Don Smith demonstrated this effect by constructing a capacitor consisting of layers of aluminum foil separated by layers of plastic sheets. The greater the number of layers, the greater the amount of electricity stored in the capacitor – with no increase in the wattage of the charging circuit. Radiant energy is also known as cold energy. When radiant energy flows in a circuit, the circuit becomes cold. If radiant energy is used to power an electric motor and the motor is under heavy load, the motor will frost over. A resistor in the circuit gets cold. A person can hold a circuit conducting radiant energy under water without getting shocked. Harold Aspen demonstrated that an electric motor that is run with radiant energy operates a bit differently. When the motor is first energized there is a surge of energy that may be ten times the running current. This surge only lasts a very brief time. If one lets the motor run for a few minutes then turns it off then restarts it within a few seconds, the initial starting surge is very small compared to the initial surge when the motor was first started. If one waits five or ten minutes to restart the motor, the large initial surge reappears. Several people have reproduced Tesla's work and created devices that used spark gaps with direct current flows to produce electric flows in adjacent circuits. Peter Linderman has described such experiences. Thomas Henry Moray demonstrated radiant energy passing through glass to light an electric light bulb, much like Tesla did. Moray developed an electric motor powered by radiant energy produced by a spark gap that produced much more power than the electric current that produced the spark gap provided. Magnetic fields can legitimately be called ZPE. The more the author has studied ZPE, electricity and magnetism, the more convinced he is that magnetism is a subset of ZPE. All ZPE devices the author has investigated operate on electrically energized coils of a conductor – wire. The amperage flow produces a magnetic field which does the work. The essence seems to be the frequency aspect in at least some cases. For example, a Tesla coil “magnifies” voltage and in some configurations, amperage. When the input coil (C1) is properly placed along the longer magnifying coil (C2) the voltage/amperage of the input coil may produce amplified voltage or amplified voltage and amplified amperage. There is a difference depending on what the core material the coil is wound on and the frequency of the input voltage. The frequency can be up into the megahertz range when an air core coil is used. An iron core limits the frequency to about 400 Hz or less. The energy produced in the output coil at the radio frequency range (above 20 kilohertz) increases as the square of the frequency with the voltage/amperage of the input coil remaining fixed. No mystery there, it is common knowledge – at least among those who have investigated such phenomena. Life itself is a neg-entropy operation. Living cells, be they vegetable or “higher” life forms, reverse entropy. That is, they create more complex compounds that “store” energy. A plant “eats” minerals and water and absorbs sunlight and carbon dioxide and produces much more complex compounds such as proteins, carbohydrates and fats – and gives off oxygen. Entities that eat these plants use these materials for energy and to reproduce DNA as these entities create new cells. This process is neg-entropy. DNA structure results from an information field surrounding the cell. These information fields can be affected by magnetic fields. Information fields can be copied from physical, chemical and nutritional substances by serial dilution with water. This process is called homeopathy and has been known and practiced for a very long time. The information fields held by the water can be administered to a person and the information fields have a similar, but sometimes greater, effect on the organism than the original substance itself. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_dilution Reforming and renewing DNA can be done using information field transfer from a young cell to an entire organ, resulting in regeneration of that organ - or for the whole body. This results in the body being regressed to the state of an earlier age, removing any damage or deterioration that occurred after that age. There is a substance, NMN, that facilitates renewal of DNA, even from radiation damage. Some benefit can be obtained by eating vegetables that contain NMN - veggies like broccoli, cabbage, cucumber and avocado. Nutritional products will be coming on the market utilizing NMN probably around fall of 2017. Living systems and manufacturing systems have many similarities. They have three different inputs and three different outputs. The have a neg-entropy input, an average or base entropy input and a lowered entropy input. They output a neg-entropy product, a base entropy output and a lowered entropy output. Consider a steel producing plant. It uses electricity, existing highly ordered devices and human labor as neg-entropy inputs. It uses some materials that are pretty much as they are found in nature – wooden items, trenches in the ground that molten steel is poured into to cool. It uses iron ore, a mixture of iron, dirt and other disordered, low entropy substances. The plant outputs a much higher ordered version of steel – a neg- entropy process. Some items come out pretty much as they went in. And the debris from the iron ore has been degraded further.

  • The Twelve Greatest Air Battles of the Tuskegee Airmen
    THE TWELVE GREATEST AIR BATTLES OF THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN Daniel L. Haulman, PhD Chief, Organizational Histories Branch Air Force Historical Research Agency 25 January 2010 edition Introduction The 332d Fighter Group was the only African-American group in the Army Air Forces in World War II to enter combat overseas. It eventually consisted of four fighter squadrons, the 99th, 100th, 301st, and 302d. Before the 332d Fighter Group deployed, the 99th Fighter Squadron, had already taken part in combat for many months. The primary mission of the 99th Fighter Squadron before June 1944 was to launch air raids on ground targets or to defend Allied forces on the ground from enemy air attacks, but it also escorted medium bombers on certain missions in the Mediterranean Theater of Operations. When the 332d Fighter Group first deployed to Italy in early 1944, it also flew patrol, close air support, and interdiction tactical missions for the Twelfth Air Force. Between early June 1944 and late April 1945, the 332d Fighter Group, which the 99th Fighter Squadron joined, flew a total of 311 missions with the Fifteenth Air Force. The primary function of the group then, along with six other fighter groups of the Fifteenth Air Force, was to escort heavy bombers, including B-17s and B-24s, on strategic raids against enemy targets in Germany, Austria, and parts of Nazi-occupied central, southern, and Eastern Europe. This paper focuses on the twelve greatest air battles of the Tuskegee Airmen. They include the eleven missions in which the 332d Fighter Group, or the 99th Fighter Squadron before deployment of the group, shot down at least four enemy aircraft.

    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.

    The Allied Presence on Vis 1943-45 15 Jul 43 A C-47A (ser. # 42-23515; Mission 9377) went MIA at Vis Island (apparently all crewmen were accounted for).1 Mid Aug 43 Some 3 weeks before Italy capitulated, the Partisans captured the entire Italian military garrison, of approx. 50 troops, on Vis without a fight, nor any casualties (variously described as an old fort and a lookout post atop Mt Hum). The Italians were disarmed and then freed, whereupon 10 hostages were taken from both Komiža and Vis, with the Italian demand that their weapons be returned within three days.2 31 Aug 43 With no weapons having been returned, the 20 hostages from Komiža and Vis were publicly executed by Italian firing squad.3 8 Sep 43 Italy capitulated. 24 Sep 43 Split evacuated by Partisans under Gen Koca Popović, to advancing Germans, having only controlled the city for eleven days.4 12 Oct 43 OSS began a 3-month mission, under Major Louis Huot, USA, to provide 6,000 tons of supplies to the Partisan garrison on Vis, via Bari, aboard the HMS Gull (Sub-Lt Taylor, RNR) and the little coal steamer SS Bakar.

  • "SANDY" SANCHEZ by Msgt Barry L
    SATOR S. "SANDY" SANCHEZ by MSgt Barry L. Spink Splintered wood and jagged metal fragments exploded past Staff Sergeant Sator S. "Sandy" Sanchez's face as he desperately pushed the BT-13's rudder pedals in an effort to stop the runaway aircraft. Two minutes earlier, Sanchez had spotted the crewless aircraft taxing on its own power down Merced Army Air Field's flightline. The bright California sunshine gleamed off the whirling propeller as the empty aircraft headed for other aircraft neatly lined up on the concrete ramp, leading into a maintenance hangar. Sandy didn't hesitate a moment. Running as fast as he could, Sanchez caught up to the aircraft, but the force of air racing back across the wings and fuselage from the propeller slowed him down. Trying to reach the edge of the open rear cockpit, the sergeant could see his prize slowly crawl away from him. Suddenly, a giant hand slapped Sandy to the rough pavement and the BT-13 rolled on. The horizontal stabilizer had caught him on the upper back and pushed him out of the way. Determined now, more than ever, the diminutive airplane maintenance inspector jumped up and again raced to the errant aircraft. With a Herculean effort, Sandy grabbed the sill of the rear most cockpit and pulled himself in. He immediately turned off the ignition switch, and glanced up to see the imminent collision. Sator's hands flew across the cockpit in desperation; closing the throttle, pulling the mixture control lever, and pushing the tops of the rudder pedals to initiate braking action.

  • Tuskegee Airmen Chronology
    TUSKEGEE AIRMEN CHRONOLOGY DANIEL L. HAULMAN ORGANIZATIONAL HISTORY BRANCH AIR FORCE HISTORICAL RESEARCH AGENCY MAXWELL AFB, AL 36112-6424 24 November 2015 1 A TUSKEGEE AIRMEN CHRONOLOGY INTRODUCTION For decades after World War II, the first black pilots in American military history were relatively unknown. Americans became increasingly aware of the contributions of African Americans to their cultural heritage during and after the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s. By the end of the twentieth century, the “Tuskegee Airmen” had become famous in newspaper and magazine articles, books, films, television programs, and museum exhibits. Unfortunately, their story was told not only by historians using primary source documents, but also by others less familiar with history than with legend. A number of false claims circulated, many of them based on an ignorance of the chronological sequence of events that formed the skeleton of the true story. This book is an effort to provide a framework for Tuskegee Airmen history while at the same time revealing their historically significant accomplishments. Having worked at the Air Force Historical Research Agency for more than thirty-two years, I have developed an appreciation for the invaluable collection of documents on Army Air Forces organizations in World War II that is maintained there. Many of the documents describe the most famous Tuskegee Airmen organizations such as the 99th, 100th, 301st, and 302nd Fighter Squadrons that were assigned to the 332nd Fighter Group during World War II, which escorted American B-17 and B-24 bombers over Nazi targets in central Europe, its pilots flying red-tailed P-51 Mustangs.

  • Chapter Viii to the Top of the Fifteenth Air Force
    CHAPTER VIII TO THE TOP OF THE FIFTEENTH AIR FORCE. (A) Narrative History. The month of May proved to be one of excellent weather. Not many missions were stood down. With the combat crews improving with every mission, spirits in the Group as a whole were high. The Group Navigator, Captain Marion M. Pruitt, became the first individual in the Group to go to rest camp when he left for the Isle of Capri on 8 May 1944. Following his return, an average of two crews and several members of the ground personnel were sent each week to Capri. Before the end of the month other personnel of the Group were sent to various rest camps in Italy. On May 8th the name of “Liberaiders” was selected for the Group. This name was submitted in a contest by co-pilot, 2nd Lt. Paavo A. Koistinen of the 767th Squadron. Presently this name appeared in large yellow letters on a blue background centrally located at the top of the map of Europe in the Briefing Room. Still later it appeared on highway signs leading to Group Headquarters and on all of the motor vehicles of the Group. A special Courts Martial was appointed on May 20th. The personnel of the court is as follows: Major R. Foster Scott Major Leigh M. Lott Major Morris J. Drobeck Major John P. Joyce Major Sidney Rainen Major Herald D. Bennett Captain Walter G. Mitton Captain William F. Foster 1st Lt. Robert A. Preciado 1st Lt. Roy E. Huber 2nd Lt. Harold Q. Danford 1st Lt.
