  • The US Army Air Forces in WWII
    DEPARTMENT OF THE AIR FORCE HEADQUARTERS UNITED STATES AIR FORCE Air Force Historical Studies Office 28 June 2011 Errata Sheet for the Air Force History and Museum Program publication: With Courage: the United States Army Air Forces in WWII, 1994, by Bernard C. Nalty, John F. Shiner, and George M. Watson. Page 215 Correct: Second Lieutenant Lloyd D. Hughes To: Second Lieutenant Lloyd H. Hughes Page 218 Correct Lieutenant Hughes To: Second Lieutenant Lloyd H. Hughes Page 357 Correct Hughes, Lloyd D., 215, 218 To: Hughes, Lloyd H., 215, 218 Foreword In the last decade of the twentieth century, the United States Air Force commemorates two significant benchmarks in its heritage. The first is the occasion for the publication of this book, a tribute to the men and women who served in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War 11. The four years between 1991 and 1995 mark the fiftieth anniversary cycle of events in which the nation raised and trained an air armada and com- mitted it to operations on a scale unknown to that time. With Courage: U.S.Army Air Forces in World War ZZ retells the story of sacrifice, valor, and achievements in air campaigns against tough, determined adversaries. It describes the development of a uniquely American doctrine for the application of air power against an opponent's key industries and centers of national life, a doctrine whose legacy today is the Global Reach - Global Power strategic planning framework of the modern U.S. Air Force. The narrative integrates aspects of strategic intelligence, logistics, technology, and leadership to offer a full yet concise account of the contributions of American air power to victory in that war.

  • Fist of the Fleet Aircraft
    US NAVY FLEET AIRCRAFT Updated 11/09/2012 The Wright Brothers, circa 1903 There is evidence that the first powered flight actually occurred at Fairfield, Connecticut on 14 August 1901. Gustave Whitehead (born Gustave A. Weisskopf in 1874), a German immigrant, was the pilot and inventor. Between 1897 and 1901, Gustave made several short flights in a series of improved aircraft. His 1901 flight in #21 traveled about a half mile before reversing course and safely returning to its starting point. A 1902 flight in #22, a seaplane, took off from Long Island Sound and travelled 7-miles before returned to its starting point. Although witnessed, without photographs his accomplishments were disputed. Thus, the Wright brother’s claim may only be the first photographed flight. Contents: THE BEGINNING OF NAVAL AVIATION FIST OF THE FLEET AIRCRAFT GRUMMAN AVENGER (TBF-1/TBM-3) CURTIS HELLDIVER (SB2C-4/5) DOUGLAS SKYRAIDER (AD-1/2/3/4/5 and A-1H/J) LING-TEMPCO-VOUGHT (LTV) CORSAIR II (A-7B/E) MCDONNEL-DOUGLAS HORNET (F/A-18A/C) BOEING SUPER HORNET (F/A-18E) EARLY WORLD WAR II AIRCRAFT (USN and USMC) EARLY NAVY JET AIRCRAFT THE BEGINNING OF NAVAL AVIATION Eugene Ely nears touch-down for the first shipboard arrested landing. On 18 January 1911, Eugene Ely (1886 -1911) successfully landed a flying machine aboard USS Pennsylvania while anchored in San Francisco Bay. The temporary flight deck consisted of a wooden platform (30’ x 120’) constructed on the stern of the armored cruiser. The deck was pitched upward 2° and sandbags attached to the arresting wires provided the deceleration necessary to stop the 40 mph flying machine.

  • Preflight Inspection
    STEP BY STEP IMPORTANT NOTE! . Many an aircraft accidents could have been prevented by the pilot completing an adequate preflight inspection of their aircraft before departure. The preflight inspection will initially be taught to you by your instructor and after they oversee you conducting it a few times it will become your responsibility to thoroughly check the aircraft before each flight. The inspection procedure is laid out in the POH for your aircraft. After reviewing the aircraft documents and confirming suitable weather for the trip, a thorough pre-flight inspection (or walk-around) is essential to confirm that your aircraft is airworthy. The following pre-flight inspection is an excerpt from the Cessna 152 Pilot Operating Manual. AIRCRAFT PREFLIGHT INSPECTION 3 STEP PROCESS . Best practise is to do three walkarounds: . In walkaround one, we put the master on and check the lights; pitot heat; the stall warning vane, oil and fuel. This way if we need to order fuel, it can be done now and will reduce any potential delays. In walkaround two, we select the flaps down. After they have been extended we turn the master off. In walkaround three, the master is now off thus conserving the battery, and we take our time to do a complete detailed pre-flight inspection of the aircraft as will be discussed in the ensuing pages. FLUIDS Fuel Quantity: . Check the fuel quantity for your aircraft using the dipstick stored behind the seat. Check the journey log or refueling stickers to verify if it has normal or long range tanks. You will inform your instructor regarding the fuel quantity in gallons and calculate the aircraft.
