It turns out the tower was not grounded. The lightning came down the heliax coaxial cables, about 2 inches in diameter (no cm back then), into the building. One of the (vacuum tube, remember those?) VHF radios looked like the speaker grille was hit by a fist from behind. The CD director's telephone was melted on the desk. All the electrical outlets were burned and the air-raid siren relay was welded ‘on’. The siren activated and would not turn off. The only person in the office was a secretary who knew nothing about electricity. I think she must have aged 10 years in 2 seconds that day. I was in high school at the time and came to realize at a tender age that there is no such thing as a ‘lightning protector’. (Copied from: “Another lightning story” in the thread “Danger and Power of Lightning”, posted on [email protected] by Douglas C. Smith, 2nd April 2002.) 477) Black Hawk helicopter crashes In the mid 1980s, the US Army experienced 29 crashes of its UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters, at least five of which were believed to be due to RFI.

  • Dogfight History
    Dogfight A dogfight or dog fight is a common term used to describe close-range aerial combat between military aircraft. The term originated during World War I, and probably derives from the preferred fighter tactic of positioning one's aircraft behind the enemy aircraft. From this position, a pilot could fire his guns on the enemy without having to lead the target, and the enemy aircraft could not effectively fire back. The term came into existence because two women fighting is called a catfight, and all early fighter pilots were men, hence dogfight. This subsequently obtained its revised folk etymology about two dogs chasing each other's tails.[citation needed] Modern terminology for aerial combat between aircraft is air-to-air combat and air combat maneuvering, or ACM. F-22 Raptors over Utah in their first official deployment, Oct. 2005, simulating a dogfight. History World War I Dogfighting emerged in World War I. Aircraft were initially used as mobile observation vehicles and early pilots gave little thought to aerial combat—enemy pilots at first simply exchanged waves. Intrepid pilots decided to interfere with enemy reconnaissance by improvised means, including throwing bricks, grenades and sometimes rope, which they hoped would entangle the enemy plane's propeller. This progressed to pilots firing hand-held guns at enemy planes. Once machine guns were mounted to the plane, either in a turret or higher on the wings of early biplanes, the era of air combat began. The Germans acquired an early air superiority due to the invention of synchronization gear in 1915. During the first part of the war there was no established tactical doctrine for air-to-air combat.

Wilson, PhD Date approved March 28, 2011 ii THE BRITISH AIR CAMPAIGN DURING THE BATTLE OF THE SOMME, APRIL-NOVEMBER, 1916: A PYRRHIC VICTORY ABSTRACT The Battle of the Somme was Britain’s first major offensive of the First World War. Just about every facet of the campaign has been analyzed and reexamined. However, one area of the battle that has been little explored is the second battle which took place simultaneously to the one on the ground. This second battle occurred in the skies above the Somme, where for the first time in the history of warfare a deliberate air campaign was planned and executed to support ground operations. The British Royal Flying Corps (RFC) was tasked with achieving air superiority over the Somme sector before the British Fourth Army attacked to start the ground offensive.
