  • 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.

  • Ride-Related Fatalities
    Ride-Related Fatalities 1. Numbers and Causes of Fatalities According to the most recent report of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), between 1987 and 2000 there were 51 amusement park ride fatalities in the United States. This is a very, very small number. As discussed below, many common activities are more likely to cause fatalities. The total of 51 fatalities itself is misleading as an indication of ride safety. Of these 51 fatalities, about one-third were due to rider error and another 10 percent were due to pre-existing medical conditions of the riders. In order to understand the data, the 51 fatalities are individually listed below. There are links to the press articles describing the accidents. This paper assigns causes to the fatalities as falling into one or more of eight categories. The causes can then be summarized as follows: Cause of fatality Number Rider error 17 Operator error 10 Pre-existing medical condition 4 Design defect 3 Accident 5 Unknown 11 Occupational death of worker 1 This can be shown in percentage form as follows: file:///C|/Documents and Settings/Owner/Desktop/samples/Park Safety Site-sample/Park Safety Site 3.htm (1 of 14)10/3/2006 10:25:23 AM Ride-Related Fatalities Causes of Fatalities MF Accident caused by a ride which malfunctioned RE Accident caused by rider error.
