  • The Cold War and Beyond
    Contents Puge FOREWORD ...................... u 1947-56 ......................... 1 1957-66 ........................ 19 1967-76 ........................ 45 1977-86 ........................ 81 1987-97 ........................ 117 iii Foreword This chronology commemorates the golden anniversary of the establishment of the United States Air Force (USAF) as an independent service. Dedicated to the men and women of the USAF past, present, and future, it records significant events and achievements from 18 September 1947 through 9 April 1997. Since its establishment, the USAF has played a significant role in the events that have shaped modem history. Initially, the reassuring drone of USAF transports announced the aerial lifeline that broke the Berlin blockade, the Cold War’s first test of wills. In the tense decades that followed, the USAF deployed a strategic force of nuclear- capable intercontinental bombers and missiles that deterred open armed conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union. During the Cold War’s deadly flash points, USAF jets roared through the skies of Korea and Southeast Asia, wresting air superiority from their communist opponents and bringing air power to the support of friendly ground forces. In the great global competition for the hearts and minds of the Third World, hundreds of USAF humanitarian missions relieved victims of war, famine, and natural disaster. The Air Force performed similar disaster relief services on the home front. Over Grenada, Panama, and Libya, the USAF participated in key contingency actions that presaged post-Cold War operations. In the aftermath of the Cold War the USAF became deeply involved in constructing a new world order. As the Soviet Union disintegrated, USAF flights succored the populations of the newly independent states.

  • University of Sheffield Radar Archive
    University of Sheffield Radar Archive Ref: MS 260 Title: University of Sheffield Radar Archive: a collection initiated by Donald H. Tomlin, graduate of the University of Sheffield 1940 Scope: Documents, books and offprints on the history of the development of Radar from 1921 Dates: 1921-2005 Level: Fonds Extent: 46 boxes; 73 volumes; 113 binders Name of creator: Donald Hugh Tomlin; John Beattie Administrative / biographical history: In February 2001 Donald Tomlin presented his collection of documents, including some which he had himself written, relating to the early development of Radar and his own work within the field, to the University Library, a donation which complemented his earlier presentation of books and offprints when he stated: "The collection of books and papers is being presented to Sheffield University in grateful thanks to the University for the training I received in the Science Faculty in the years 1937 to 1940 and which led to a lifelong career working in Radar and Electronics... The books...represent... a cross section of those books available to workers in the new subject of RDF, later to be renamed by our American colleagues RADAR in 1943. The subject of Radar was entirely new as far as practice was concerned, in 1936, and therefore no information was available on the subject. One had to fall back on books on radio, telephony and electromagnetic waves". The documents in this later collection include original papers, copies of significant documents on the history of the development of radar both published and unpublished, some photographs and Tomlin's own memoirs. Donald Hugh Tomlin (1918-2013) was born in Sheffield and educated at the Central Secondary School for Boys.

  • Navy News Week 48-1
    NAVY NEWS WEEK 48-1 3 December 2017 Indian court acquits 35 from anti-piracy ship of weapons charges Crew members of U.S.-operated anti-piracy ship were being held in India for illegal possession of arms Thirty-five men being held in India were on Monday acquitted of illegal possession of arms while they were on a U.S.- operated anti-piracy ship in 2013. The six Britons, three Ukrainians, 14 Estonians and 12 Indians were given five-year jail sentences by a lower court in southern India’s Tamil Nadu state in January last year. The Indian coast guard intercepted the privately run MV Seaman Guard Ohio off the coast of Tuticorin in Tamil Nadu in October 2013. Semi-automatic weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition were found. The crew members were charged with not having proper paperwork to carry weapons in Indian waters, but India has faced intense diplomatic pressure over the case ever since. R. Subramaniya Adityan, a lawyer for 19 of the crew, said after Monday’s hearing at the Madras High Court that the men “will be released after the court order reaches the prison officials on Tuesday.” Another lawyer, R. Arumuga Ram, said that efforts were being made to get the men released as early as Monday night. “Otherwise, (we) will ensure to release all of them by 6 a.m. tomorrow,” he added. Indian authorities are still able to appeal, which could prevent the foreigners from leaving India. Twenty-three of the men are detained in Chennai’s Puzhal prison, while the remaining 12 are at Palayamkottai Central Prison in Tirunelveli.

  • What Happened in 1962
    WHAT HAPPENED IN 1962 DE HAVILLANDS left in September, and in their wake came a stream of problems. As in the previous year, these problems occupied many of the big headlines in 1962, even before the firm left The most hopeful of all the suspected take-overs of the factory was that by the Beagle Aircraft Company in the early months; the most useful was the Council's offer to operate the 400,000 square feet of factory space as a trading estate if no one else would have it. But the worst problem of all—2,000 redundant personnel, many of them skilled operatives—was no more solved by the close of the year than the unemployment level remaining below three per cent. glosses over. Some of the men took jobs in Holland; some went to other parts of the country; but many remained under-employed in the area. The coming year promises the results of the many steps taken in 1962 in the industrial field. The planning authority must give some final decision on Brush Crystal's application for a Somerford Road factory site. The Minister of Housing and Local Government's decision on the Town Map inquiry is also due. Not without misgivings will the householders of Christchurch await the local budget in March, for at the end of December came the new rating valuations which had worried everyone for almost the whole year. This had alone managed to unite the local ratepayer associations, but their Liaison Committee produced no result of its deliberations about rates. Perhaps the New Year will see something of this.

Abstract For transformation to be an effective process, the defense industry must have a clear and common understanding of military capability. However, capability is an abstract concept. In order to make this concept more tangible effects-based operations, force structures and the lines of capability development have been integrated. A conceptual framework is proposed for the mapping and visual representation of these strategic capability partitions.

    RADARES SMART Pablo Macchiavello Poblete* Las unidades necesitan sensores que les permitan conocer y compilar los distintos panoramas. Dentro de estos sensores, la familia de radares 3D SMART ha vivido un auge, siendo utilizada en las más modernas plataformas antiaéreas alrededor del mundo. Novedades del mundo naval Novedades Los radares 3D son dispositivos que se desempeñan determinando demarcación y distancia a un blanco. Además permiten ubicar un contacto en el espacio a través de la determinación de la altura, dando a la posición una dimensión conocida en tres ejes. Este hecho se torna relevante, pues ayuda a efectuar el proceso de investigación y resolver el problema de control de fuego. De igual manera, estos datos pueden ser traspasados a un Radar de Control de Fuego (RCF) a palabra RADAR es un acrónimo del inglés para el guiado de los sistemas de L“Radio Detection And Ranging”. 1 El radar funciona armas del buque.

    Dave H Fagan 1 Copyright Dave H Fagan 2015 Copyright of images remain with the original contributors Fourth edition. November 2019... 2 INDEX Part 1 Introduction & Prewar 1926-1939 .....1 The War Years .....16 Civil Flying post-war....35 The Gliding School.....49 De Havilland’s Fire Service.....66 Closure.....93 The Airlines and Christchurch.....101 Introduction. Christchurch aerodrome was part of my life right from the day I was born in 1942 in a house only 400 yards from the western airfield boundary. Although my family left Christchurch from time to time we always came back and, in the 50s, when I first became interested in aircraft, I spent a lot of time at the airfield watching the aircraft. The sight of Ambassadors, and later the Sea Vixens, taking off and passing what seemed like only a few feet above the roof of the house was quite spectacular. Later, I spent a decade working at SRDE on the eastern end of the field and was working there when the airfield finally closed. The death struggle was prolonged, with Tom Marshall still operating out of the Flying Club area as late as 1970, even after housing had started to encroach on the field. My final involvement with the airfield came in 1995 when my wife and I moved into a house built on the airfield - roughly halfway along the hard runway! So, I felt that the history of this little aerodrome should be told, from it's earliest beginnings, through it's time as the original Bournemouth Airport - the war years - and it's subsequent gradual decline, inevitable perhaps, once Hurn blossomed in the 40s and 50s.
