  • 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.

At the time I was just another bubbly young junior staffer, still savoring my good fortune at having secured a position with the Bush- Cheney 2004 reelection campaign. I bounded through the halls of the redbrick offi ce build- ing in Arlington, Virginia, that housed President George W. Bush’s campaign headquarters. After a morning staff meeting, I decided to swing by my offi ce- mate’s desk, tucked in a corner facing south toward the Potomac River, with a clear view of Georgetown and the rest of Washington, D.C.

  • Of 4 History
    History Page 1 of 4 History of Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport An Historic Landmark of the Nation's Capital Serving the People Who Make History for More than 60 Years... The National Airport (now Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport) site is rich in historical significance dating back to colonial days. The area, known as Gravelly Point, is where Captain John Alexander built a home called "Abingdon" in 1746. A descendent, Philip Alexander, donated most of the land on which the City of Alexandria was built, and it was so named in his honor. Abingdon was purchased in 1778 by John Parke Custis, the adopted stepson of President George Washington, and was the birthplace of Washington’s beloved granddaughter, Eleanor “Nelly” Parke Custis. Abingdon was destroyed by fire in 1930 and the ruins stabilized. In 1998, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority preserved the site and created an exhibit of artifacts found there in the Exhibit Hall, located in Terminal A. Throughout the early 20th century, airport facilities in Washington, D.C. were seriously inadequate. Hoover Field, located near the present site of the Pentagon, was the first major terminal to be developed in the National Capital area, opening its doors in 1926. The following year, Washington Airport, another privately operated field, began service next door. In 1930, the economics of the Great Depression caused the two terminals to merge to form Washington-Hoover Airport. Bordered on the east by Highway One—with its accompanying high-tension electrical wires, and obstructed by a high smokestack on one approach and a dump nearby—the field was less than adequate.
