Oklahoma and the Somme Oklahoma and the FRENCH FELLOWS IN Somme : aeronautics, OKLAHOMA 2019 the heart of their heritage. summary ● Project aims and a brief presentation of myself. ● Preparation in France before the trip. ● Project activities during the visit. ● Meeting (questionnaires, interviews, field visit in order to accomplish my project goals ). ● Conclusion and perspectives. Project aims and a brief presentation of myself. Introduce myself the main reasons for me to have undertaken the project is that, firstly, I like English ( I am graduated of the Cambridge diploma). I study during two hours English-speaking history every week. It’s thanks to that that I’m very interested in the American civilization. Secondely It was one of my biggest dreams to go to the USA. I chose this topic for my project because I would like to discover the aeronautical culture of Oklahoma. The aerospace industry is a big job-creating sector in both the Somme and Oklahoma. I wanted to compare the economical consequences of the aeronautic activity in Oklahoma and in the Somme for example Airbus company (in Méaulte). Moreover I wanted to compare the different organisations in flight school like the French flight “ L’aéroclub d’Abbeville and Wiley post in okc and also want to understand why in Oklahoma the aviation is so popular because in France it’s reserved for very few people and how, thanks to the oil boom, Oklahoma could develop as much aviation. Managed to developpe d aviation so much , Picardie, a land of pioneers in the field of aviation Le Journal d’Abbeville : Rue Aviation takes an important place in our region because we have a huge Airbus factory which has an important economic role, the Caudron brothers, aviators and inventor, and Bessie Coleman was the first black woman in the world to be able to pilot a plane and the first person of African-American and native American origin to hold a pilot license, (obtained in France, at Le Crotoy, at the Caudron flight school.) We entitled at a village hall Rue, with her name to pay her a tribute , Preparation in France before the trip Preparation before the trip What I planed to do before my visit was: - -To visit local museums like “ le musée des frères Caudron”, creators of famous planes like the C.460 to be able to compare our planes with those of Oklahoma. - - To visit in June the famous French event “Salon du Bourget” in order to get contacts which could help me for my project. - To visit the Airbus factory of Méaulte in Picardie. - To contact again the French engineer of the Airbus factory of Chester to have additional information about what I want. - To meet pilots and former pilots of my airfield to understand how aviation operates in the Somme. - To contact Oklahoma pilots and engineers to identify on-site questions. It was really important for me to anticipate this trip well because it is a huge chance that the academy of Amiens offered us. So the desire not to disappoint was present. Museum of the Caudron Brothers, Pioneers of Aviation in Picardy I visited the local museum in Rue “ le musée des frères Caudron”, creators of famous planes like the C.460 to be able to compare our planes with those of Oklahoma. I went to this museum many times ( for the commemoration of the “Frère Caudrons” or homage of Air Force officers to Caudron Brothers for example ) to get in touch with the director who helped me a lot by giving me documents and lots of information on the history of Picardy aviation. René Caudron first flight pulled by his horse « Luciole » ●The museum director gave me full size copies of the women pilot posters so I could give them to the ninety-nines museum. Salon du Bourget - In June I went to the famous French event “Salon du Bourget” in order to get contacts who could help me for my project and that work ! Thanks to this huge gathering, I was able to visit companys stands located in Oklahoma like an aeronautical company or insurance or an aerospace museum. - French fighter planes were highlighted like the Mirage and the Rafale. These planes are envied even in America. The Airbus factory of Méaulte in Picardie. “The specificity of aeronautical engineer work is team work: you cannot build an aircraft on your own! We therefore work specifically on single part, but we need to be able to talk to the international. This is done on a global scale.” - To meet pilots and formers pilots of my airfield to understand how aviation operates in the Somme. The Abbeville’s aerodrome helped me a lot in the build up and development of my project. Françoise Sockeel, in charge of the animation department, organizes in 2020 an exhibition entitled “Women-pilots, high-flying women”. In addition to celebrating the 90th anniversary of the founding of the aerodrome, it will be the 10 year anniversary of the French association of women pilots. They will therefore participate in this event to celebrate their annual gathering. At this moment my project then taking a double target. My role was now to inform the 99 association in okc of this French event,therefore to make known this event to the association of women pilots in Oklahoma "the ninety-nines“. The explanation of my project was made during an event which annually marks the year in my aerodrome, Mrs. Sockeel revealed all the tracks of my project. Project activities during the visit. Firstly Before making my visits and meeting aviation personalities, I prepared some goodies and contact cards in order to continue an exchange later. Activities during the trip What I did during the trip in Oklahoma : -Visit high school aviation classes in Oklahoma like the “Edmond North High School” - Interview pilots, retired pilots, women pilots, students in school flying in Oklahoma and a Strasbourg aeronautical engineer in Oklahoma for three years . - Visit the ninety-nines museum and contact the museum director - Visit airports -Meet women pilots Edmond North High School, Aerospace Science classes With a retired air force member I visited high school aviation classerooms in the “Edmond North High School” /Oklahoma. The Aerospace Science Instructor Michael Penning, the Aerospace Science Instructor (SASI), is a 22 year Air Force Veteran and Senior Aerospace Science Instructor. Now he is a teacher at Edmond North High School. I was lucky to meet and interview him. He explained to me a lot about his career. the ninety-nines museum The NINETY-NINES INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION OF WOMEN PILOTS The NINETY-NINES INTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATION OF WOMEN PILOTS promotes advancement of aviation through education, scholarships, and mutual support while honoring our unique history and sharing our passion for flight. They decided to open a museum in 1972. It has over 5,000 square feet of displays and artifacts focused on preserving the history of women in aviation, and providing education and inspiration for young adults to enter the field of aviation and aerospace. In addition, archives and other resources are maintained on site. Another goal of the museum is to educate the public about the important contributions that women have made to aviation. The same fight for all these women I visited the ninety-nines museum and contacted the museum director. Also I met many members of the association of ninety nines in order to collect as much information as possible. I had the honor of making a private visit with the director who explained to me the history and the fight of all these women like Bessie Colman in the field of aviation which was very masculine and macho at that time. It highlights the united spirit that these women had, this desire for mutual aid which was their only chance to succeed in aviation. Visit airport I visited several airports thanks to Holly Blunk, passionate pilot and pilot and instructor’s wife. She kindly took me to different places. What struck me in this three airport was the difference of the user and their financial means. I had the feeling that aviation is less expensive in America than in France thanks to petroleum which is their black gold there. But this is not the case because in France we advocate the spirit of club and volunteerism which is nonexistent in Oklahoma. In Oklahoma ; aviation cost are heavy because they are individual. The costs are not shared between aviation lovers as in France. The price of aviation in France is expensive due to the price of oil in general, but we are lucky having our club, petrol is more expensive which reduces costs. Sundance airport This one is reserved for very affluent customers. It is very modern and chic. It is impossible to see one like this in France. We almost forget that this place is made to pilot planes. very modern technology This plane simulator is from NASA company ← Wiley Post airport An airport known historically for its air trade This airport is known historically for its air trade because it is one of the first established in Oklahoma. Now the airport provides a base for over 300 aircraft in its leased hangars. Trade has given way to enthusiasts I pleased to meet a war plane lover how showed his hangar and his planes in reconstruction Guthrie-Edmond Regional Airport I was lucky to be able to fly from this airport with Michael Penning, the Aerospace Science Instructor how I met earlier in the week. We flew over Edmond and its surroundings leaving me in command! Oklahoma from the sky Women in aviation and aerospace day This ceremony is reserved for aviation and aerospace enthusiasts, offers individuals the opportunity to learn more about Oklahoma's general, commercial and commercial aviation, the future of the industry and the way the Oklahomans can defend the interests of girls and women on behalf of aviation and aerospace.

  • 1 Private Henry Charles Crane (Regimental Number 1405) Is
    Private Henry Charles Crane (Regimental Number 1405) is buried in Doullens Communal Cemetery Extension Number 1 – Grave reference: I. B. 7. His occupation prior to military service recorded as that of a railroad worker and earning a monthly one-hundred dollars, Henry Charles Crane presented himself for medical examination in the Conception Bay community of Harbour Grace on April 7, 1915. It was a procedure which was to pronounce his as…Fit for Foreign Service. (continued) 1 Having by that time travelled to St. John’s, capital city of the Dominion of Newfoundland, he enlisted two days following his medical assessment, on April 9, at the Church Lads Brigade Armoury on Harvey Road where he was engaged at the daily private soldier’s rate a single dollar plus a ten-cent per diem Field Allowance. It was now to be a further ten days, the date April 19, before he was to undergo his attestation, to swear his Oath of Allegiance, the concluding official formality. At that moment Henry Charles Crane became…a soldier of the King. *A second source has him attesting on the day of his enlistment. There was now to be a lengthy waiting period of nine weeks less a day before Private Crane, Regimental Number 1405, was to embark onto His Majesty’s Transport Calgarian on June 20 in St. John’s Harbour and sail (almost*) directly to the United Kingdom. He was one of the two-hundred forty-two men of ‘F’ Company and eighty-five naval reservists to take passage on that day. (Right above: Naval reservists from Newfoundland, during the early days of the Great War, before their departure for the United Kingdom - from The War Illustrated) Where Private Crane was to spend the interim between his attestation and his departure on…overseas service…is not clear – and is not documented among his papers.

  • The Earliest Evidence of Acheulian Occupation in Northwest
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The earliest evidence of Acheulian occupation in Northwest Europe and the rediscovery of the Moulin Received: 5 December 2017 Accepted: 19 August 2019 Quignon site, Somme valley, France Published: xx xx xxxx Pierre Antoine1, Marie-Hélène Moncel2, Pierre Voinchet2, Jean-Luc Locht1,3, Daniel Amselem2, David Hérisson 4, Arnaud Hurel2 & Jean-Jacques Bahain2 The dispersal of hominin groups with an Acheulian technology and associated bifacial tools into northern latitudes is central to the debate over the timing of the oldest human occupation of Europe. New evidence resulting from the rediscovery and the dating of the historic site of Moulin Quignon demonstrates that the frst Acheulian occupation north of 50°N occurred around 670–650 ka ago. The new archaeological assemblage was discovered in a sequence of fuvial sands and gravels overlying the chalk bedrock at a relative height of 40 m above the present-day maximal incision of the Somme River and dated by ESR on quartz to early MIS 16. More than 260 fint artefacts were recovered, including large fakes, cores and fve bifaces. This discovery pushes back the age of the oldest Acheulian occupation of north-western Europe by more than 100 ka and bridges the gap between the archaeological records of northern France and England. It also challenges hominin dispersal models in Europe showing that hominins using bifacial technology, such as Homo heidelbergensis, were probably able to overcome cold climate conditions as early as 670–650 ka ago and reasserts the importance of the Somme valley, where Prehistory was born at the end of the 19th century.

  • In the Trenches: a First World War Diary
    In the Trenches: A First World War Diary By Pierre Minault Translated by Sylvain Minault Edited by Gail Minault Edited for Not Even Past by Mark Sheaves Originally published on Not Even Past <notevenpast.org> Department of History, The University of Texas at Austin September 22-November 16, 2014 © Not Even Past In the Trenches Pierre Minault’s Diary of the First World War Not Even Past is marking the centennial of the outbreak of the first World War with a very special publication. Our colleague, Gail Minault, a distinguished professor of the history of India, has given us her grandfather’s diary, a near daily record of his experiences in the trenches in France. Pierre Minault made his first diary entry on this very day, September 22, one hundred years ago, in 1914. We will be posting each of his entries exactly one hundred years after he wrote them. You will be able to follow Pierre’s progress and read his thoughtful and moving personal observations of life on the front as day follows day. Sylvain Minault originally translated the diary from French. Gail Minault edited this translation and added the following introduction. We are extremely grateful to her for sharing her grandfather’s diary with all of us. Introduction By Gail Minault This year we commemorate the outbreak of World War I, which began in August 1914, with all the powers of Europe declaring war on each other in a domino effect born of alliances and ententes. Reading the history of the war, one becomes aware of the carnage, the stalemate, the sacrifice of an entire generation of young men to great power politics.
