  • The Chatham Naval Air Station
    Chatham Naval Air Station AT THE ATWOOD HOUSE by spencer grey People whose houses are located on Nickerson Neck in Chathamport most likely know that between 1917 and 1922, 36 acres of their neighborhood was the location of one of the Naval Air Stations that were established in the expectation that the United States would most likely be drawn into the war that was causing turmoil in Europe. Germany had deployed a number of their U- Boats throughout the Atlantic Ocean, and they clearly would be a threat to navigation in this area. Before construction of their houses had begun, there were large sections covered with cement, the remains of the floors of the hangars. The base consisted of living quarters for the personnel stationed there, hangars, a boat house, a hospital, repair shops, maintenance buildings and a pigeon loft. The latter was required because radio communications between the planes and the station were not reliable, but pigeons could be counted on to carry messages back to the base. Once the support buildings were in place, four Curtiss R-9s were delivered to the station. A few months later, four Curtiss HS-11 flying boats arrived at the Chatham Depot and were trucked to the base, where they were assembled. Once in service, these planes were used to patrol two areas, one to the north and another to the south, to keep a watch out for U-Boats in the surrounding waters. Because of the real possibility of a crash landing, the planes were equipped with emergency rations, water for three days, a flashlight, a flare pistol with red and green cartridges, a sea anchor, life preservers, a signal book, and local charts.

  • Mysterious Mils
    Summer 2020 MysteriousMissing MiG Mystery Mils Kamov & Ilyushin In mid June, aviation buffs in Victoria were treated to the sight of a Russian Ilyushin Il-76TD landing on a bright sunny day. This giant of the sky was here to transport one of Vancouver Island Helicopters Kamov-52 coaxial rotor helicopters to Indonesia. The Ilyushin is owned and operated by Volga Dnepr. It is a modernized and ICAO compliant version of the old Il-76 Candid used by the Soviet air force during the cold war. The Kamov helicopter will be used to fight forest fires in Indonesia. The spectacle of Russian aircraft lifting Russian helicopters reminded me of something that happened years ago when I worked at Edmonton International airport. One cold February afternoon in the late eighties, I was leaving for home. I couldn't believe my eyes. Parked by a hangar were two Russian helicopters. One was a Mil 8 (Hip) transport the other a Mil 24 (Hind) attack helicopter. These choppers were painted in bright blue and white colors instead of their usual drab camouflage. A day later an Antonov 124 (Condor) arrived. This huge aircraft was marshaled into a confined ramp area. The turn radius was so tight that the right main landing gear was damaged. There it sat for 10 days while the crew figured out a fix. Then the Hip and the Hind were loaded into the cavernous cargo hold of the Antonov. Then in the middle of a snow storm off they went into a black Alberta sky! Nothing was ever explained.

  • Celebrating the Centennial of Naval Aviation in 1/72 Scale
    Celebrating the Centennial of Naval Aviation in 1/72 Scale 2010 USN/USMC/USCG 1/72 Aircraft Kit Survey J. Michael McMurtrey IPMS-USA 1746 Carrollton, TX [email protected] As 2011 marks the centennial of U.S. naval aviation, aircraft modelers might be interested in this list of US naval aircraft — including those of the Marines and Coast Guard, as well as captured enemy aircraft tested by the US Navy — which are available as 1/72 scale kits. Why 1/72? There are far more kits of naval aircraft available in this scale than any other. Plus, it’s my favorite, in spite of advancing age and weakening eyes. This is an updated version of an article I prepared for the 75th Anniversary of US naval aviation and which was published in a 1986 issue of the old IPMS-USA Update. It’s amazing to compare the two and realize what developments have occurred, both in naval aeronautical technology and the scale modeling hobby, but especially the latter. My 1986 list included 168 specific aircraft types available in kit form from thirty- three manufacturers — some injected, some vacuum-formed — and only three conversion kits and no resin kits. Many of these names (Classic Plane, Contrails, Eagle’s Talon, Esci, Ertl, Formaplane, Frog, Griffin, Hawk, Matchbox, Monogram, Rareplane, Veeday, Victor 66) are no longer with us or have been absorbed by others. This update lists 345 aircraft types (including the original 168) from 192 different companies (including the original 33), many of which, especially the producers of resin kits, were not in existence in 1986, and some of which were unknown to me at the time.

  • Women Pilots of Canada
    Women Pilots of Canada Eileen Vollick - 1st female pilot in Canada Eileen Vollick, Canada’s first licensed woman pilot, was born in Wiarton, Ontario. First though, the 18- year-old had an obstacle to overcome – her age. After inquiring if a “girl could fly,” Eileen was given permission by the federal government provided she waited till she was 19. Men could then get their pilot’s licence at 17. But before the seemingly fearless teenager earned her wings, she would accomplish another first as the first Canadian “girl” to parachute from a plane into water. Testing her nerve and surely her family’s as they watched her stunt from their Beach Boulevard home, Eileen jumped from the wing of a plane into the Hamilton Bay from an altitude of 2,800 feet. Eileen Vollick Eileen’s history-making flight would take place on March 13, 1928 when at 19 she flew a ski-equipped Curtiss Jenny from the frozen waters of Burlington Bay, making three three-point landings on the ice and passing her federal test to become the 77th licensed pilot in all of Canada. On that day, Eileen earned her wings with only ten of the male students she had started out with. Because she was barely five-feet tall she would require extra seat cushions to prop her up to see through the aircraft’s windscreen. Eileen has been awarded numerous honours over the years, including the Amelia Earhart medallion in 1975. The most recent award took place in August 2008, when about 250 people gathered to mark her contribution to aviation on the 100th anniversary of her birth in Wiarton.

  • Aircraft and Their Use in Forestry in Bc
    AIRCRAFT AND THEIR USE IN FORESTRY IN B.C.: 1918 - 1926* John Parminter August 1985 Introduction The prevention, detection and suppression of forest fires received special emphasis in the latter part of the 1800s and the early part of this century. Fire prevention legislation was passed,1 the regulations were publicized and fire fighters did what they could to reduce the damage done by forest fires.2 Nonetheless the magnitude of the problem was often overwhelming. The rapid growth of technology which took place during World War I made possible the application of innovations to increase the effectiveness of forest fire detection and suppression operations. The airplane was one such development which enjoyed initial, but unfortunately, all too short-lived success in British Columbia. Although the use of aircraft for aerial forest fire patrols was considered as early as 1911 in Texas and, closer to home, examined by the Western Forestry and Conservation Association in the Pacific Northwest in 1913, the first such patrols were not made until the summer of 1915 in Wisconsin.3 A glowing report describing experiences there was published in the April 1916 issue of the only Canadian forestry magazine of the time, the Canadian Forestry Journal. The author stated that “the efficiency of an aeroplane in spotting forest fires is without doubt as practicable as any use to which it could be put,” and that finding fires wasn’t a problem so much as correctly ascertaining their exact location.4 British Columbia Makes Plans The initial successes in Wisconsin resulted in a growing interest which spread throughout the U.S.
