  • WNET Licensing (A's)
    The “A’s” (Source: NET microfiche, unless listed) Aaron Copland Meets the Soviet Composers (1959) Initial Broadcast: N/A Number of programs: 1 Origin Format: Undetermined Running time: 30 minutes AARON COPLAND MEETS THE SOVIET COMPOSERS is a half-hour studio production kinescope of an interview between Copland and six Soviet musicians, musicologists and/or composers who were travelling in the US. My impression is that this was a visit in return for one made to the USSR by an American group earlier that included Menned (?), Sessions, Harris and Kay (?). The setting for the interview is a recreated concert hall stage with the guests sitting in players’ chairs and Copland and his translator located where a solo instrumentalist would be seated. The questions appear to have been scripted in advance – and scripts placed on the music stands. The responses from the Soviets appear to have been ad lib. Copland’s questions were translated into Russian by an American (?) of Russian origins, Nicholas Slonimsky, himself a musician. The Soviets spoke in Russian and were heard through simultaneous translation. The translator was unseen and uncredited. The Soviet guests include (in order of answering questions): Dmitri Kabalevsky, Boris Yarustovsky, Tikhon Khrennikov, Dmitri Shostakovich, Konstantin Dankevich and Fikret Amirov. Kabalevsky was asked about the knowledge of American music in the USSR; Yarustovsky on the influence of American music on Russian music; Khrennikov on the reactions of Soviet musicians to the visit of four American musicians earlier (in the exchange program?); Shostakovich on American jaZZ and its influence; Dankevich on younger Soviet composers and Amirov on the adaption of native musical types to series music.

  • Winter 2016-17
    THE HURRICANE ＮＷＡＭＡ EDITION: WINTER 2016-17 General Wilhelm Mohr (June 27, 1917 – September 26, 2016) This summer at the age of 99, General Wilhelm Mohr, wartime commander of the Norwegian No 332 Squadron based at RAF North Weald, visited the airfield to lay a wreath at the memorial in memory of the 36 Norwegian aircrew who failed to return from operations between 1942-45. In September we received news that the General passed away and, as a mark of respect the Nor- wegian flag was lowered to half-mast at the Memorial and Debt of Honour outside the North Weald Airfield Museum. We thank him for his service. He was born in Fana, in the west of Norway to land- owner Wilhelm Mohr and Emily Holm. He served as aviation officer during the Second World War, both in the Norwegian Campaign, later in the organisation of the Little Norway flying training camp in Canada, and then serving with 332 Squadron to the end of the war. He remained in the Royal Norwegian Air Force after the war and was promoted Major General in 1962, and Lieutenant General in 1964, and served as head of the Royal Norwegian Air Force. He was decorated Commander of the Order of St. Olav in 1964. His war decorations include the War Cross with sword, the British DFC, and the American Legion of Merit. Wilhelm was a regular visitor to North Weald and a great supporter of the airfield and the museum and we are proud to have known him as a friend. THE HURRICANE 2 ＮＷＡＭＡ RECENT AIRFIELD NEWS If you have access to the Internet the best place to keep an eye on the day to day happenings on the airfield is the North Weald Airfield Facebook page to be found at https://www.facebook.com/ northwealdairfield/ You will find lots of excellent new photography popping up on its pages most days and most of it is of unique events.

  • Doctorate of Philosophy
    Eyes All Over the Sky: The Significance of Aerial Reconnaissance in the First World War by James Streckfuss December 6, 2011 M.A., University of Cincinnati, 2002 J.D., Woodrow Wilson College of Law, 1981 B.A., University of Cincinnati, 1973 A dissertation submitted to the Division of Research and Advanced Studies of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the degree requirements for the degree of DOCTORATE OF PHILOSOPHY In the Department of History of the College of Arts and Sciences Committee Chair: Christopher Phillips 2 Abstract Historians have portrayed aviation in the First World War as a romantic alternative to the mass slaughter playing out on the ground and at sea. Young men volunteered for service in the air to escape the horrors of the trenches and their exploits made them into heroes a war-weary public could revere. As valuable as this diversion proved to civilian morale, it contributed little, if anything, to the military victory. Another global conflict broke out before aviation’s destructive power matured into a potential war winning force. This characterization has allowed historians to discuss World War I without any meaningful analysis of what role aviation played in the fighting. Connections between the air war and ground and naval operations are missing from most contemporary accounts of the war. This dissertation argues that airmen contributed greatly, shaping the manner in which armies and navies functioned in ways that influenced the outcome of battles and the length of the war. Reconnaissance, observation and photography made up the branch of World War I military and naval aeronautics that most significantly impacted the fighting.
