  • World War One Aircraft Models
    THE SPAD XIII C.1 WORLD WAR ONE AIRCRAFT MODELS I have always held a fascination with early military aircraft. After serving for 27 years in the Royal Air Force, I became a Military Aerospace Technical Author. Although, as most modelers, I got involved in the world of construction kits at an early age, I stopped for most of my service career and for some years afterwards. I started modeling again a few years ago and now enjoy the challenge of building aircraft of World War One. Since posting photographs of my completed models online, several people have asked if I would create a ’build log’ for future builds. I don’t consider myself a ‘master’ of this craft, but hope to be able to pass on what I have learned. As such, here is the sixth build log, which covers my build, including many modifications, of the Hobby Craft 1:32 scale model of the SPAD XIII C.1.

Frank Luke was the first American aviator to receive the Congres­ sional Medal of Honor. In just seventeen days and less than thirty hours in the air, he officially racked up eighteen confirmed and two probable victories. Unofficially, he probably scored higher. Captain Eddie Rickenbacker, America's top Ace in World War I, called him "the most daring aviator and greatest fighter pilot ofthe entire war." Luke was born in Phoenix on M ay 19, 1897, the fifth of nine children. He attend­ ed Phoenix Union High School where he was captain of the football team.There was arugged toughness about him. During one game, he scored the winning touchdown even knowing that he had a broken col­ larbone. He graduated in 1915 and went to work in the mines at Ajo. He quickly gained a reputation as a rough and ready fellow after participating in bare-knuckle branded a maverick by some ofhis superior ten sorties in eight days, a feat unequaled by boxing matches in the mining camp. officers.

    Hawk, N.C., in 1903, but America could not hold its leadership and European na- tions moved ahead in numbers of airplanes produced and pilots trained. Even Belgium invested more in aviation. Between December 1903, when the Wright brothers flew, and summer 1917, when US troops paraded in Paris, the US produced no more than 1,000 airplanes of all kinds and contributed little to the development of military aircraft or tactics. In 1917, the Aviation Section of the Army Signal Corps had fewer than 250 airplanes. The best of them was the JN-4 Curtiss Jenny. An earlier model, the JN- 3, had been used to chase Pancho Villa through Mexico in 1916, but the Jenny was not suitable for any military purpose except training. Moreover, the nation could not suddenly begin producing combat airplanes. The US did not make any engines with the necessary combination of light weight and high horsepower. Not a single aviation squadron was trained for war. When the US declared war, it had in Europe only five aviation officers. For- tunately, one was Maj. William “Billy” Mitchell, who did not wait for special instructions to get started. On his own authority, Mitchell set up an office in Paris and was there and holding forth when Gen. John J. Pershing and the American Expeditionary Force staff arrived. By then, Mitchell had already given Wilson and the War Department a strong nudge about airpower. At his instigation, the French Premier, Alexandre F. J. Ribot, on May 24 dispatched a cablegram asking Wilson to send to France in 1918 some Over There 4,500 airplanes, 5,000 pilots, and 50,000 mechanics.

    MMEEDDAALL OOFF HHOONNOORR Presented to airmen of the US Air Force and its predecessor organizations This collection provides the citations for each of the 60 USAF airmen who have received the Medal of Honor. It also includes links to AIR FORCE Magazine articles about these individuals or the events in which they took part. They are arranged here in alphabetical order. AIR FORCE MAGAZINE'S HEROES COLLECTION MMEEDDAALL OOFF HHOONNOORR Presented to airmen of the US Air Force and its predecessor organizations The MOH is the highest and most prestigious US military medal. It is awarded by the President of the United States in the name of Congress, and for that reason it is often referred to as the Congressional Medal of Honor. (Congress awards its own medals of honor, the Congressional Gold Medal and Congressional Silver Medal—the nation's highest awards that do not involve combat). The Medal of Honor—whether the Air Force, Army, or Navy version—by law is only awarded for military action involving armed conflict. Specifically, the MOH may be awarded to members of the US Armed Forces who distinguish themselves conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of their lives above and beyond the call of duty under any of the following circumstances: 1. While engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States. 2. While engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force. 3. While serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party.

    The First Wings of War Air Force Reserve in World War I Paul H. Larson, Kevin I. Burge, Keith L. Barr Front Cover Photo: Sketch by SMSgt Darby G Perrin, 2015 THE FIRST WINGS OF WAR: AIR FORCE RESERVE IN WORLD WAR I Background The First World War, referred to at the time as the Great War, erupted after Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria on 28 June 1914. A complex series of alliances between the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Great Britain, the German Empire, France, Japan, and Russia virtually assured that Princip’s act in Sarajevo had far reaching consequences.1 These entangling alliances resulted in full-scale war on 4 August 1914 when German forces invaded Belgium, spurring Great Britain to declare war on Germany.2 The United States of America officially remained neutral throughout much of the conflict. Even as fighting on the Western Front bogged down into trench warfare, many in the US desired to avoid entanglement in the war. German submarine attacks in the Atlantic, particularly the sinking of the RMS Lusitania on 7 May 1915, strengthened calls for US involvement.3 However, few Americans wanted to join the carnage then underway overseas. President Woodrow Wilson even won the presidential election of 1916 using the slogan “He Kept Us Out of War.”4 However, Germany’s attempt to enlist Mexico to attack the US proved to be too much for many Americans and Congress. The US declared war on Germany on 6 April 1917. Within months, US military personnel began to arrive in France to assist the effort to defeat the German Empire and its allies.

    Introduction to the United States Air Force B. CHANCE SALTZMAN, Capt, USAF and THOMAS R. SEARLE Airpower Research Institute, College of Aerospace Doctrine, Research and Education, and Air University Press Maxwell AFB, Alabama 2001 Disclaimer Opinions, conclusions, and recommendations expressed or implied within are solely those of the author, and do not necessarily rep- resent the views of Air University, the United States Air Force, the Department of Defense, or any other US government agency. Cleared for public release: distribution unlimited. ii Foreword The initial concept of the Introduction to the United States Air Force was to facilitate the process of learning how the US Air Force became what it is today: The most powerful mil- itary force in the history of the world. And as our Air Force continues to grow, so will this “primer.” I wish to thank Tom Searle at CADRE for giving me the opportunity to help him update this introduction from an “end-user” point of view. This revised edition will take the student up to the twenty-first century by including some recent operations, aircraft, and sig- nificant personalities that were not included in the 1999 edition. Additionally, the 1999 edi- tion included separate sections on significant operations and personalities but in this revised edition operations and personalities have been merged and organized chronologically to better match the needs of AS200. The original organization of the section on aerospace craft has been retained to show the unique developments of each of the different types of plat- forms. For ROTC AS200 instructors: This book is intended to supplement The Concise History of the United States Air Force which is currently being used in the AS200 curriculum.
