  • Order of Service for a Service of Thanksgiving
    Westminster Abbey A Service of Thanksgiving and Rededication to mark the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain Sunday 20th September 2020 11.00 am HISTORICAL NOTE This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Battle of Britain, the first decisive Battle in history fought entirely in the air. Battle of Britain Sunday commemorates a dramatic turning point in both the Battle itself, and the history of the Second World War. The German objective in the summer of 1940 was to eliminate the Royal Air Force, both in the air and on the ground, in order to obtain air superiority in preparation for a potential seaborne and airborne invasion. Operating principally from airfields in France and Belgium, the Luftwaffe began their first heavy onslaught early in July 1940, directed against British shipping and the Channel ports. The intent behind this first phase of the battle was not only to sink shipping but also to draw the Royal Air Force into combat and wear down its strength. The second phase, from 8th to 18th August, consisted of intensive day operations against coastal radar stations and fighter airfields. The third phase began after a five-day lull due to poor weather, with attacks on fighter airfields in the London area and increased night attacks on Britain’s cities. The first daylight assault on London was made on 7th September and marked the beginning of the fourth phase, lasting most of that month, during which the capital became the Luftwaffe’s primary target. These attacks, although serious in themselves, brought vital relief to the fighter airfields, which until that time had been under considerable pressure.

  • Journal of San Diego History V 51-2
    “The Service Knows and Will Remember” The Aircraft Crash Memorial on Japacha Ridge Alexander D. Bevil Winner of the James S. Copley Library Award Located at an elevation of nearly 4,600 feet on a stone-lined terraced ledge just below and east of Japacha Peak in Cuyamaca Rancho State Park is a lonely memorial dating back to San Diego’s golden days of military aviation. Erected on May 22, 1923, and refurbished later in 1934 and 1968, it consists of the battered and burnt V12- cylinder aircraft engine mounted on a stone and concrete pedestal. Affixed to the pedestal’s base is a bronze plaque, dedicating the structure to the memory of U.S. Army pilot First Lieutenant Charles F. Webber and U.S. Cavalry Colonel Francis C. Marshall, “who fell on this spot on December 7, 1922.” All but forgotten by most modern military historians, the memorial marks the site of one of the most sought after crash sites in U.S. military history. It is also associated with several notable individuals who would go on to play major roles in U.S. military aviation history. On December 7, 1922, between 9:05 and 9:15 A.M., a twin-seat U.S. Army Air Service DeHaviland DH4B model biplane took off from Rockwell Field, North Island.1 Behind the controls was twenty-six-year-old pilot First Lieutenant Charles F. Webber. Sitting in front Major Henry H. “Hap” Arnold at North Island, of him in the forward passenger seat was fifty- 1919. As commanding officer of Rockwell Field, five-year-old Colonel Francis C.
