Ex·lt Announce 1952 Convention Of American Air Mail Society For Norfolk, Va., Aug. 29, 31 • Labor Dav Weekend to Feature Kitty Hawk and Williamsburg Trio in Addition to Usual Functions • lr HE American Air Mail Society, largest and oldest organization of airpost collectors, has chosen Norfolk, Virginia as the locale of its 1952 convention which will be held on Friday, Saturday and Sunday, August 29, 30 and 31. Rear Admiral Jesse G. Johnson, USN Retired, President of the Society, will head the local com· mittee on arrangements and a fine tentative program has already been formulated. Activities during the three days will include the Society's annual banquet, a visit to Naval installations in and near Norfolk, a trip to historic Williamsburg, Jamestown <md Yorktown, and a special exhibit of aviation material to be held at the Norfolk Museum of Arts. Adm. Johnson, who was one of the earliest of Naval fliers to see service in the Pacific and who skippered the first Naval aircraft repair vessel to be placed in commission, the USS "WEBSTER," advises that these particular dates have been chosen because they are the week·end just preceding Labor Day, thus permitting those who are unable to schedule a regular vacation at this period addi· tional time to return to their homes on Labor Day itself. While the convention will officially end on Sunday, August 31, plans have been made for a bus trip to Kitty Hawk, N. C., from the sands of which the Wright Brothers flew their first plane, on Monday, September 1. Because of the historic importance of Kitty Hawk and its reasonably easy accessibility from Norfolk, it is felt that many members will plan to include this trip while attending the convention. The Monticello Hotel, .which has been completely redecorated and many of its rooms air·conditioned, will serve as the headquarters for the convention. Within the Norfolk area are several famous ocean resorts including incomparable Virginia Beach, only a few miles away. Jamestown, the site of the first white settlement in 1607; Yorktown, the scene of Cornwallis' surrender to Washington, thus ending the Revolutionary War, and historic Williamsburg, restored through the interest of John D. Rockefeller, Jr., are included in the itinerary of the special trip which will be taken during the convention, probably on Sunday, August 31. Additional plans will be announced by the Ci::>mmittee as they develop but all collectors of air mail and all members of the American Air Mail Society are urged to set aside these dates now and plan to be in attendance at Norfolk when the Society meets for the 29th consecutive year. A tentative program is printed else· where; this will be expanded and revised at a later date.

It was necessary to engage a temporary staff of 114 to sup­ Airpost Stamps plement the regular staff of the Postal Administration during the period of af­ fixing the required stamps to covers sent in by mail to the UN for servicing 3:nd cancellation. In addition to the great volume of re­ quests for first day cover services, an unexpectedly large number of orders was received for mint United ·Nations stamps. It is estimated that approxim­ ately 16,000 individual mint orders were received by mail during the last three months of 1951. It was advisable, due to cancellation · and mailing processes involved, to pro­ cess the first day cover requests before mint stamp orders could be filled. This considerable backlog of mint orders cre­ ated difficulties of personnel and hand­ ling for the Postal Administration and resulted in some delay. Additional staff is now working on mint orders which are being filled at the rate of approximately 400 a day.

    Parasite Fighters Parasite aircraft – are there to enhance the task of the parent – that continues with its own mission – which may be only to be a mother ship. Composite Aircraft – the part that detaches then completes the mission. (Not to be confused with more modern usage of composite construction – of different materials.) The Short-Mayo composite project, co-designed by Mayo and Shorts chief designer Arthur Gouge, comprised the Short S.21 Maia,(G-ADHK) which was a variant of the Short "C-Class" Empire flying-boat fitted with a trestle or pylon on the top of the fuselage to support the Short S.20 Mercury(G-ADHJ). Established a record flight for a seaplane of 6,045 miles (9,728 km) from Scotland to South Africa Composite Larger aircraft are commonly thought to be at risk from attacking fighters. One way of defence has often been considered – a fighter that rides along hitched to the parent aircraft – which can detach while airborne and defend the larger aircraft and perhaps re-attach in flight. Other missions for parasites have included reconnaissance and ground attack. Here I an concentrating on manned aircraft. Before the 2nd World War the Russians and after the war the Americans, experimented with parasite aircraft on aircraft In 1916 a Felixstowe Porte Baby was used to prove the concept of a larger aircraft carrying aloft and launching a lighter aircraft (in this case a Bristol Scout fighter).

Neben den riesigen historischen Luftschiffen sollen auch die Schiffe und Projekte der letzten Jahre vorgestellt werden. Diese erste Ausgabe ist noch sehr dünn. Sie hat einen Schwerpunkt auf der amerikanischen Luftschifffahrt in der Wikipedia. Es ist nur ein Bruchteil der gesamten Aktivitäten aufgeführt, jedoch soll dies auch nur der Anfang sein. Ob- wohl die deutschsprachige Wikipedia schon einiges mehr an Luftschiffen zu bieten hat, als ihre große englischsprachige Schwester gibt es immer noch weiße Flecken im Inhaltverzeichnis und sehr viele verbesse- rungswürdige Stellen in den Artikeln. Jeder der Interesse hat kann sie unter http://www.Wikipedia.de ausfüllen. Von Zeit zu Zeit werde ich den Reader aktualisieren. Dies wird dann jedes Mal auch eine Gelegeheit sein ihn auch um Artikel aus anderen Bereichen der Luftschifffahrt zu erweitern, die bereits vorhanden, vielleicht aber auch noch gar nicht geschrieben sind oder nur darauf warten überarbeitet zu werden. Benutzer:Hadhuey Über Wikipedia Die Wikipedia ist eine freie Enzyklopädie, die es sich zur Aufgabe gemacht hat, jedem eine freie Wissensqelle zu bieten, an der er nicht nur passiv durch lesen teilhaben, sondern auch aktiv als Autor mitwirken kann. Auf der Webseite http://de.wikipedia.org findet man nicht nur die aktuellen Artikel der deutschsprachigen Wiki- pedia, sondern darf auch sofort und ohne eine Anmeldung mitschreiben. Auf diese außergewöhnliche Art sind seit 2001 in nur vier Jahren eine halbe Million Artikel zustande gekommen, in mehr als 60 Sprachen von Afrikaans über Esperanto bis Zulu.

I am glad to dedicate this project to Sir Kalim- Ur- Rehman which is project supervisor and without their guidance this project cannot be done competently. I am thankful to my parents and teachers who guided me in this project. For preparing the project I studied different websites related to airships. The data related to airships is easily available on internet. The research is based on airships types, its history, construction, biographies, modern airships etc. I tried my level best to put maximum information related to airships and keep the project from inaccuracies. If this project can help anyone to increase his/her information and knowledge I will feel that the purpose of my hard work has been achieved. ------------------------- Arjumand-Bano ID: 13005001010 Batch#5 Email: [email protected] BS Aviation Management (2013-2017) University of Management and Technology, Lahore.

  • Ilmalaivojen Historia: Ilmalaivojen Käyttöfunktiot Ja Ilmalaivojen Välittämät Aatteet
    Ilmalaivojen historia: ilmalaivojen käyttöfunktiot ja ilmalaivojen välittämät aatteet Pro gradu -tutkielma Jenni Kaikkonen Tieteiden ja aatteiden historia Oulun yliopisto 20.1.2021 Tiivistelmä Tämän pro gradun aiheena on ilmalaivojen historian ja erityisesti ilmalaivojen käyttöfunktioiden ja ilmalaivoihin kytkeytyvien aatteiden tarkastelu. Tavoitteena tässä työssä on vastata tutkimuskysymyksiin eli siihen mitä käyttöfunktioita ilmalaivoilla on ollut ja mitä aatteita ilmalaivat ovat välittäneet. Lähteinä tässä pro gradussa on käytetty vanhoja ilmalaivavalokuvia, uusia aihetta käsitteleviä kirjoja sekä vanhaa aikalaismateriaalia valokuvakirjojen muodossa. Eräänä päälähteenä on hyödynnetty Max Pinuccin teosta Airships: Designed for Greatness vuodelta 2018 ja sen yksityiskohtaisia ilmalaivojen profiilipiirroksia on analysoitu erityisesti ilmalaivojen ulkoisia tunnuksia tarkastelevassa pro gradun luvussa. Menetelminä on hyödynnetty tässä työssä monipuolisen aineiston hankkimista kuten kyselyä suomalaiselle Kelluu Oy -ilmalaivafirmalle ja aineistoon tutustumista. Erityisesti on tehty visuaalisen aineiston sisällönanalyysia kuva-aineistoa läpi käyden ja arvioita on muodostettu sen perusteella. Aate- ja oppihistoria on antanut tulkinnallista viitekehystä työlle. Tuloksina on havaittu, että alkuun ilmalaivoissa vaikuttaa olleen vähän ulkoisia merkintöjä. Eräs päähuomio on lisäksi se, että 1930-luvun puolivälin jälkeen ilmalaivat Graf Zeppelin eli LZ 127 ja Hindenburg eli LZ 129 kantoivat näyttävästi hakaristejä perissään tuoden esiin natsipuoluetta,
