    1 AMERICAN EARLY JET-AGE AIRCREW FLIGHT HELMETS, A HISTORY IN TWO PARTS: Part I: A general guide for collectors, and Part II: A history of US Air Force ‘P-series’ helmets by Christopher T. Carey, MA PART I: A general guide for collectors of American jet-age flight helmets Figure 1: Movie poster (John Wayne's JET PILOT, 1959) Who, among aviation buffs and action fans alike the world over, could ever forget the exciting scenes of fighter jock icy-calm bravado as pilots repeatedly pushed the aircraft combat performance envelope to the limits in such classic movies as ‘TOP GUN’ and ‘THE RIGHT STUFF?’ It took a pretty beat libido and low testosterone titer to sit there and watch those stirring exploits in the wild blue yonder without feeling a distinct thrill shoot down the spine like a Sidewinder missile. Unfortunately, for every natural born, eagle-eyed Chuck Yeager there are several thousands of poor souls who, despite having spent a lifetime blazing new paths across the sky in their daydreams, were not favored by fate with the right combination of abilities, circumstance and opportunity, to achieve such a lofty ambition as actually piloting a state-of-the-art fighter aircraft beyond the speed of sound and into the heat of actual combat. Today, one of the most interesting means these legions of armchair fighter jocks have at their disposal to expiate unrequited yearnings of this sort is to collect aircrew protective flight gear (now known to military professionals as ALSE, or ‘Aircrew Life Support Equipment’). Perhaps you can‟t actually walk the walk and talk the talk of the righteous brotherhood of Sierra Hotel (slang for s**t-hot) military pilots, but you can certainly pursue the fascinating hobby of surrounding yourself with the tools of their trade and in so doing vicariously bask in some of the reflected glory of their calling.

For more information, please contact [email protected] THE FLORIDA STATE UNIVERSITY COLLEGE OF ARTS & SCIENCES The Historicity of Homeric Warfare: Battle in the Iliad and the Hoplite Phalanx, c. 750 – 480 BCE By CARLOS DEVIN FERNANDEZ A Thesis submitted to the Department of Classics in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with Honors in the Major Spring, 2016 2 The members of the Defense Committee approve the thesis of Carlos Devin Fernandez defended on April 19, 2016. 3 Chapter One: Introduction The purpose of this thesis is to examine the nature of battle in Homer’s Iliad, and its relationship to the actual practices of the Archaic period. In particular, it aims to focus on the roles of foot soldiers in Homeric battle, and how their features compare to those of hoplites, who first emerged during the poet’s own era. The renowned epos of war relates the story of Achilles’ wrath against his fellow Greeks during the final year of the Trojan War, and as such, contains innumerable scenes of combat. Though the epic tends to underscore the aristeia (‘excellence’) of its heroes, who are often engaged in single-combat with one another, the same episodes also illustrate the participation of the masses on the battlefield. I shall argue that these scenes of battle, and their representations of infantry combat, when examined with supplementary literary and archaeological evidence, are essential tools in interpreting eighth- to sixth-century BCE warfare, particularly the roles of the average citizen and the development of the hoplite phalanx.1 Background: The Dating of a ‘Homeric Society’ The Iliad has been rigorously analyzed in the resurgence of ancient warfare scholarship over the last few decades.

  • Air Warrior: Evolution of the Flight Helmet
    Air Warrior: Evolution of the Flight Helmet Kevin Sullivan 13 DEC 2011 Sullivan 1 Contents Introduction and Interdisciplinary Rational p. 3 Literature Review p. 7 Method of Analysis p. 14 Audience Analysis p. 16 Developing the Documentary p. 17 Production and Editing p. 18 Limitations p. 20 Reflections p. 21 Conclusion p. 23 Bibliography p. 25 Appendix A - Script p. 28 Sullivan 2 Air Warrior: Evolution of the Flight Helmet Introduction and Interdisciplinary Rationale In 1995, the US Army introduced a completely redesigned flight helmet for use by aircrew members. Officially designated the HGU-56/P Aircrew Integrated Helmet System, but commonly called the flight helmet, it incorporated some radical new design elements, safety improvements, and a standardized helmet for army aviation that was superior to previous flight helmets worn by Army aircrews; fit and comfort improvements played an important part in this development as well. To gain an understanding of how previous models of flight helmets shaped the current one issued to aircrew members, a documentary film was produced. My BIS concentration is History Presented Through Video. Drawing upon the disciplines of history (primarily research and analysis skills) and communications (video production and script writing), the documentary brings together the adherence to empirical evidence while maintaining as non biased a position as possible with the ability to entertain and be popular with a variety of audiences. The documentary will show how the current flight helmet has been influenced by previous advancements in flight helmet design and technology coupled with the need for physical comfort. The documentary covers a subject that has been covered very little, if at all, by other written and documentary works.
