From Cow Pasture to Executive Airport
From Cow Pasture to Executive Airport Theresa L. Kraus, FAA Historian The early twentieth century witnessed myriad aviation developments as new planes and technologies entered service and early pilots, male and female, pushed one another to set, and then break, a host of aviation records for speed, flight duration, and aerobatics. During World War I, the airplane had proved its effectiveness as a military tool and, with the advent of early airmail service, congressionally authorized in 1918, and it showed great promise for commercial applications. Despite limited postwar technical developments, however, early aviation remained a dangerous business — the realm of daredevils. Flying conditions proved difficult since the only navigation devices available to most pilots were magnetic compasses. They flew 200 to 500 feet above ground so they could navigate by roads and railways. Low visibility and night landings were made using bonfires on the field as lighting. Fatal accidents were routine. It was during this era of barnstorming and flying circuses that the Town of Leesburg, Virginia, caught the aviation bug. In 1918, a wayward pilot landed his plane in a pasture on Wallace George’s farm. George’s farm house, located at 229 Edward’s Ferry Road, was on the south side of Edward’s Ferry Road, west of Route 15. The pilot, no doubt, had been flying along Route 15 when he needed to find a spot to land his craft. Curious townspeople certainly found the sight of an airplane in their neighbor’s pasture a fun curiosity. George’s field soon became a popular landing spot for early barnstormers, and, sometimes, for an airmail plane or two. -

Morris Dissertation
MIAMI UNIVERSITY The Graduate School Certificate for Approving the Dissertation We hereby approve the Dissertation of Jennifer M. Morris Candidate for the Degree: Doctor of Philosophy ______________________________ Judith P. Zinsser, Director ______________________________ Mary Frederickson, Reader _______________________________ David Fahey, Reader _______________________________ Laura Neack, Graduate School Representative ABSTRACT THE ORIGINS OF UNICEF, 1946-1953 by Jennifer M. Morris In December, 1946, the United Nations General Assembly voted to approve an International Children’s Emergency Fund that would provide relief assistance to children and their mothers whose lives had been disrupted by World War II in Europe and China. Begun as a temporary operation meant to last only until 1950, the organization, which later became the United Nations Children’s Fund, or UNICEF, went far beyond its original mandate and established programs throughout the world. Because it had become an indispensable provider of basic needs to disadvantaged children and mothers, it lobbied for and received approval from the General Assembly to become a permanent UN agency in 1953. The story of UNICEF’s founding and quest for permanent status reveals much about the postwar world. As a relief organization, it struggled with where, how, and to whom to provide aid. As an international body, it wrestled with the debates that ensued as a result of Cold War politics. Its status as an apolitical philanthropic organization provides a unique perspective from which to forge links between the political, economic and social histories of the postwar period.
