    The British Commonwealth and Allied Naval Forces' Operation with the Anti

    THE BRITISH COMMONWEALTH AND ALLIED NAVAL FORCES’ OPERATION WITH THE ANTI-COMMUNIST GUERRILLAS IN THE KOREAN WAR: WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO THE OPERATION ON THE WEST COAST By INSEUNG KIM A dissertation submitted to The University of Birmingham For the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of History and Cultures College of Arts and Law The University of Birmingham May 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This thesis examines the British Commonwealth and Allied Naval forces operation on the west coast during the final two and a half years of the Korean War, particularly focused on their co- operation with the anti-Communist guerrillas. The purpose of this study is to present a more realistic picture of the United Nations (UN) naval forces operation in the west, which has been largely neglected, by analysing their activities in relation to the large number of irregular forces. This thesis shows that, even though it was often difficult and frustrating, working with the irregular groups was both strategically and operationally essential to the conduct of the war, and this naval-guerrilla relationship was of major importance during the latter part of the naval campaign.

    Newsletter of Canadian Naval Aviators and Associates

    The Newsletter of Canadian Naval Aviators and Associates Toronto, Ontario, Canada June 2011 Last year, we reported that the Sheriff had called BOTH of us for jury duty, though we had both been called in recent years. On the first time, Deb had been able to claim immunity because she was still in the forces. In my case, the year passed without my being called. On last New Year’s Eve, we were able to toast our freedom; however, the first mail of the new year brought a summons dated in late December, ordering me to do my duty. The summons came with a set of ‘frequently asked questions’ that covered most of my needs, but there was one point that I needed clarified. A call to the Sheriff’s office reached a clerk who was able to answer the question. Out of the blue, she asked me if I wanted to be relieved from duty. While I discussed the pros and cons, she suddenly told me that she had just removed me from the list as not being qualified. Formidable! Later in the year in a smaller community nearby, a judge called all his prospective jurors together and asked them explain why so many had tried to be relieved of their duty. It seems that many are called and few want to be chosen. Another year has passed, and it has not been a good one for me. A chronic problem has turned into a severe one, though how severe will not be known for some time. After several months of debilitating and confusing symptoms, I have been diagnosed with bladder cancer, which now has spread.

However, World War II gave it a welcome momentum which led to more than 1,600 artillery spotter Austers being built for the British and other air forces. The Rearsby factory was at maximum production during the war - but, as with all other aircraft manufacturing plants, it found a sudden collapse in military orders when peace came. However, there were returning flyers keen to keep their skills alive and the Autocrat and its successors were successful, not only in the UK but also across the world. Using the same basic airframe, the Auster constantly changed its shape and the 180hp Husky of 1960 was a very different animal from the original 55hp Taylorcraft Model C. Austers were sold all over the world and were used for many tasks including crop spraying, aerial advertising and joyriding. The company also developed new models including the very successful AOP.9, and the less successful Agricola, Atlantic and Avis.

  • We Envy No Man on Earth Because We Fly. the Australian Fleet Air

    We Envy No Man on Earth Because We Fly. the Australian Fleet Air

    We Envy No Man On Earth Because We Fly. The Australian Fleet Air Arm: A Comparative Operational Study. This thesis is presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Murdoch University 2016 Sharron Lee Spargo BA (Hons) Murdoch University I declare that this thesis is my own account of my research and contains as its main content work which has not previously been submitted for a degree at any tertiary education institution. …………………………………………………………………………….. Abstract This thesis examines a small component of the Australian Navy, the Fleet Air Arm. Naval aviators have been contributing to Australian military history since 1914 but they remain relatively unheard of in the wider community and in some instances, in Australian military circles. Aviation within the maritime environment was, and remains, a versatile weapon in any modern navy but the struggle to initiate an aviation branch within the Royal Australian Navy was a protracted one. Finally coming into existence in 1947, the Australian Fleet Air Arm operated from the largest of all naval vessels in the post battle ship era; aircraft carriers. HMAS Albatross, Sydney, Vengeance and Melbourne carried, operated and fully maintained various fixed-wing aircraft and the naval personnel needed for operational deployments until 1982. These deployments included contributions to national and multinational combat, peacekeeping and humanitarian operations. With the Australian government’s decision not to replace the last of the aging aircraft carriers, HMAS Melbourne, in 1982, the survival of the Australian Fleet Air Arm, and its highly trained personnel, was in grave doubt. This was a major turning point for Australian Naval Aviation; these versatile flyers and the maintenance and technical crews who supported them retrained on rotary aircraft, or helicopters, and adapted to flight operations utilising small compact ships.

    Mach 2 Concorde magazine FOCUS ON ENGINEERING Concorde operations through the decades Concorde Watch Life under lockdown Issue 26 May 2020 Mach 2 May 2020 Introduction Keeping Concorde in operation – from the first flights of the prototypes to the final journeys of the fleet aircraft – was both an awesome achievement and a monumental feat of aero engineering. In this issue we look at the British engineering opera- tions, from the earliest flights to the end of British Airways services. Three of the engineers who made these Concorde flights possible recall the challeng- es and triumphs of their work. The current COVID-19 crisis has affected com- munities all over the world. The specialists and volunteers who take care of the Concordes are no exception. The museums are currently closed to visitors, but in Concorde Watch we bring you a brief update on each of the aircraft, together with information on fund-raising drives for G-BBDG and G-BOAF. Very best wishes to all the Concorde maintenance teams, all of Mach 2’s readers, and your families – please stay safe, wherever you are.

    October November December 2013

    Stamp dealer Vance Rightmire of Austin sums up Sunday afternoon at the Greater Houston Stamp Show - happy and contented, but exhausted from a hectic weekend. October Greater Houston Stamp Show 2013 November The Houston Philatelic Society presented our 66th edition of our an- December nual stamp show the weekend of September 20-22, 2013, and we had a great time. The three day show at the Humble, Texas Civic Center drew 2013 about 575 attendees and featured our largest stamp show banquet atten- dance ever. We had a beautiful open exhibit competition with 13 spectacular Red The themed single frame exhibits front and center in the first row of frames. The banquet highlight was drawing the crayon from the tin to deter- Newsletter of mine next year’s color and the Brown crayon made its appearance. Since 2004, we have conducted this sacred but light-hearted ceremony and the Houston with the Brown crayon, we were literally down to the last crayon, so the entire tin was filled with Brown crayons and a single pink one to keep it Philatelic interesting. Society Collectors saw lots of Red as the Single Frame showcase Editor - Jay Stotts featured 13 Red exhibits in competition.
