  • The Flying Octopus--October 1990
    The Flying Octopus--October 1990 http://www.afa.org/magazine/1990/1090octopus.html October 1990, Vol. 73, No. 10 Sikorsky's was the first practical helicopter, but a different Russian and a younger Air Service got a chopper off the ground in 1922 The Flying Octopus By C. V. Glines MOST aviation historians agree that Igor I. Sikorsky deserves credit for designing, building, and flying the first practical helicopter. His XR-4, the first rotary-winged aircraft accepted by the Air Force, weighed 1,900 pounds and could lift 500 pounds of payload. It first flew in January 1942 and was demonstrated to Gen. Henry H. "Hap" Arnold the next July. General Arnold liked what he saw. "The Army Air Force," said he, "has taken flyers before with not so much gain promised." One "flyer" to which General Arnold may have been referring was an earlier helicopter venture. Sikorsky's helicopter was not the first bought by the organization that would eventually become the United States Air Force. World War I had stimulated many to explore the possibility of true vertical flight. None had solved the riddle of stability, but the potential of vertical lift machines for military purposes continued to interest many. Among these were a few officers of the Army Air Service who had become intrigued with the writings of a Russian with a French name: Dr. George de Bothezat. De Bothezat, a scientist who had fled the Bolshevik Revolution, was a big, bearded man with a quick wit and a violent temper. He was also an extreme egotist who once boasted publicly, "I am the world's greatest mathematician and scientist." In Russia, de Bothezat had gained international renown for his theories about vertical flight.

  • The Impact of World War Two on the Individual and Collective Memory of Germany and Its Citizens
    The Impact of World War Two on the Individual and Collective Memory of Germany and its Citizens Laura Bowie Abstract: The domination of twentieth century history by World War Two and its aftermath are still heavily analysed and debated today. Despite this vast amount of research, little has been written about the emotional effects and the subjective experience of the Germans during and postwar. Every aspect of peoples’ lives was effected, thus creating a wealth of memory which can be used to analyse the emotional consequences of the war on the individual and on society. This piece of work looks at three main elements of postwar reaction and memory. 1.) The war’s impact on gender relations and the family unit 2.) Ideological warfare, the return of soldiers, and the idea of victimhood 3.) The destruction of towns and cities and the subsequent impact on concepts of history and nationhood. Alon Confino provokingly once asked why the citizens of the town of Emden wanted to set up a tourist board in May 1945.1 This poses many questions about the wider impact of World War Two upon Germany and its citizens. Essentially, whether the desire to set up a tourist board indicates that the war had not left deeper traces within German memory. As soon as the war ended there were many expectations, principally formulated by the Allies, regarding how 1 A.

Rhett Flater & Associates M.E. Rhett Flater & Associates Pine Knoll Shores, NC Pine Knoll Shores, NC ABSTRACT1 This paper describes AHS’s vital role in the development of the rotorcraft industry, with particular emphasis on events since 1990. It includes first-hand accounts of the formation of the Society, how it matured and evolved, and the particular influences that compelled change. It describes key events which occurred during various stages of the Society’s growth, including the formation of its technical committees, the evolution of the AHS Annual Forum and technical specialists’ meetings, and the creation and evolution of the Society’s publications. Featured prominently are accounts of AHS’s role in pursuing a combined government, industry and academia approach to rotorcraft science and technology. Also featured is the creation in 1965 of the Army-NASA Agreement for Joint Participation in Aeronautics Technology, the establishment of the U.S. Army Rotorcraft Centers of Excellence, the National Rotorcraft Technology Center (NRTC), the inauguration of the Congressional Rotorcraft Caucus and its support for the U.S. defense industrial base for rotorcraft, the battle for the survival of NASA aeronautics and critical NASA subsonic ground test facilities, and the launching of the International Helicopter Safety Team (IHST).

  • Babi Yar - Nazi Massacre
    Babi Yar - Nazi Massacre WARNING: SCENES IN THIS CLIP - FROM "WAR AND REMEMBRANCE" - ARE RECREATED EVENTS ABOUT THE BABI YAR MASSACRE IN UKRAINE (AMONG OTHER ATROCITIES). PROCEED WITH EXTREME CAUTION. In September of 1941, thousands of Jewish people were living in (and near) the city of Kiev (in Ukraine). The Nazis made a decision to kill those people during their invasion of the Soviet Union. Historians believe the most-documented of the Ukaine atrocities, committed by the Nazis, happened at a ravine known as Babi Yar in the city of Kiev. Sometime around the 26th of September, 1941, an order was posted in Kiev. Its English translation (containing offensive words) is roughly as follows: Yids [Jews] of the city of Kiev and vicinity! On Monday, September 29, you are to appear by 08:00 a.m. with your possessions, money, documents, valuables, and warm clothing at Dorogozhitskaya Street, next to the Jewish cemetery. Failure to appear is punishable by death. People thought this was a resettlement order, and they obeyed it. Instead, about 33,771 Jewish people lost their lives in a single massacre between September 29-30, 1941. Thousands of other people were also executed at the Babi Yar ravine. A monument, located about one mile from the ravine, commemorates the murders of "over 100,000 citizens of Kiev and prisoners of war." This clip - from "War and Remembrance," a critically acclaimed, award-winning mini-series by Dan Curtis - references/recreates those events. Note that Paul Blobel - a key SS Colonel in this clip who was responsible for the Babi-Yar massacre and later spearheaded efforts to eliminate evidence of Nazi atrocities - was later a defendant in the Nuremberg war- crimes trial.
