Masefield, M.A., A.F.R.Ae.S.\u003cbr\u003eTechnical Editor of THE AEROPLANE and Editor of THE AEROPLANE SPOTTER.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy the autumn of 1942, several thousands military aeroplanes of American design and construction were in service with the British Air Forces —the Royal Air Force, the Fleet Air Arm and the Air Forces of the British Commonwealth of Nations. Thirty-two of the chief types of United States monoplanes in British service are described and illustrated in this book. Taken in general, \"American aeroplanes\" were superlative flying Machines, but some types were considered less good as fighting machines. Nevertheless, four military categories of American aircraft were commended withbut reservation as the Best in World those days. The North American Mitchell was probably the World's best all-round medium bomber—fast and heavily armed. The Consolidated Coronado was the best patrol-bomber flying-boat. The Grumman Avenger single-motor torpedo-bomber was a long way the most outstanding carrier-borne aeroplane of its type and the Douglas C-54 (DC-4) tactical transport was the most useful machine of its class in service.\u003cbr\u003e Several other types may be singled out for special mention. The Consolidated Catalina flying-boat, the Douglas Boston III day bomber, the Douglas Havoc II night fighter, the Lockheed Hudson III patrol bomber and the North American Mustang scout. All have given excellent service on their specialised operational duties. Other types which, at the time of writing, were awaited with the greatest interest and the highest expectations are the Martin Marauder day bomber and the Republic Thunderbolt fighter.\u003cbr\u003e The author considers that American single-seat fighters have, on the whole, proved disappointing chiefly because of the low-supercharge of their motors which renders their performance poor at height. Nor have they been adequately armed and armoured. However, once that the Packard-Rolls-Royce Merlin motor achieved quantity production in the U.S.A., he tought a great improvement should result. The older types are considered useful for low offensive work—flying as fighter-bombers in the Middle East and as fighting scouts with the R.A.F. Army Co-operation Command.\u003cbr\u003eInteresting to note that the author considers the American heavy bombers fall short of their British counterparts by reason of their rather light bomb loads — a maximum of 5,000 lb. for the Fortress and 6,000 lb.for the Liberator. The new big Boeing B-29s and Consolidated B-32s -should remedy these\u003cbr\u003edefects. Meanwhile the American \" heavies\" will do invaluable work over that vital life-line, the Atlantic; and for shorter-range escorted day attacks their armament of 0.5-in. machine-guns has proved effective in action.\u003cbr\u003eMeanwhile large numbers of aircraft of the U.S. Army and the U.S. Navy are being based in Great Britain. And so Airacobras, Fortresses, Coronados, Liberators, Kittyhawks, Bostons, Dakotas, Martlets, Lightnings, Marauders, Mariners, Mitchells, Mustangs, Thunderbolts and Vengeances, flown by American as well as by British crews, will become ever more common sights to their friends in the British Isles and to their enemies on the Continent.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e71 pages - in English\u003cbr\u003eweared and tanned\u003cbr\u003emessage me for cheaper postage\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dNqHENNmChU\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"www.skyshelf.eu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42934247424170,"sku":"226OR1942EN","price":35.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6901\/4698\/products\/original_d89baab4-f631-4878-8e07-aa17fa72c72c.jpg?v=1652264624"},{"product_id":"mattioli-guido-in-volo-con-umberto-maddalena-1938-original-signed-edition","title":"Mattioli, Guido - In volo con Umberto Maddalena (1938) (Digital Edition)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn volo con Umberto Maddalena (1938)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGuido Matttioli\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEditrice « L’Aviazione »\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUmberto Maddalena joined the Italian Navy in 1916.

Among its crew was also the journalist Guido Mattioli, commissioned by Corriere della Sera to comment on the event that is the subject of this book. After flying over the Alps, he headed north over Germany and the Netherlands, then east over Denmark and Sweden, finally reaching Leningrad. On his return journey, he headed west, around the Baltic States, reached Amsterdam and then resumed his original route south.

The Costruzioni Meccaniche ed Aeronautiche Società per Azioni (CMASA) built 129 Dornier Wal flying boats, mainly because of the terms of the Versailles Treaty. Some of them performed famous record flights.\u003cbr\u003eCMASA was then bought by FIAT and turned to military production. It designed and built in series, during WW2, the RS14, a twin engined floatplane, which is described in some detail here. In 1937, FIAT C.M.A.S.A. built the prototype of a twin engined bomber landplane called B.G.A. Other projects included a six engined passenger flying boat, called J.S. due to carry out a regular passenger service between Italy and Latin America for LATI airlines.Its development was interrupted by the war. \u003cbr\u003eAnother very ambitious project by Ing. Stiavelli was the speed record monoplane CS15 (Corsa Stiavelli). With its 2250 hp liquid-cooled engine and its counter-rotating propellers, it was designed to reach 800 km\/h and bring the world speed record back to Italy.\u003cbr\u003eToday, the small town of Marina di Pisa has is a peaceful seaside resort. Only a few very old people still remember that aircraft engines once roared there and that sea spray trails spurted in the wake of flying boats and floatplanes taking off on the sea.\u003cbr\u003eThe author, Prof. Enrico Manfredi, was born in Cagliari in 1938; he graduated in Industrial Engineering (mechanics) at Pisa University. He started his career at Livorno Naval Academy, went later to the Ateneo pisano, which awarded him the Order of the Cherubino. He then worked at the Department of Civil and Industrial Engineering, Pisa University, until retirement.

They conducted individual interviews with more than 1,000 combat-experienced pilots under official guarantee that statements made in the interviews would be used for research purposes only. Men flying single-engined aircraft were asked to pick .the two men (living or dead, regardless of rank) on whom they would most like to fly wing, and the two men they would least like to have flying wing on them in combat. Pilots of multiengined aircraft were asked to name the two men for whom they would most like to serve as copilot and the two they would least like to have as their own copilot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTheir answers did not ordinarily come in the single-sentence form used in the quotations cited in this booklet. Usually, the replies took the form of the following description of a wanted VF pilot:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"As a division leader, lie not only thinks for himself but is also exceptionally considerate of his wingmen. He is a good navigator and knows his position at all times so his section can concen¬trate on flying a good wing. He is conscientious in reading technical data and especially so in briefing before strikes, so that lie always knows exactly what is going on, planes involved, radio calls, etc. In combat he is aggressive but not foolhardy, and he never forgets the primary pur¬pose of the mission. He is very enthusiastic about flying. In his division he demands good air discipline, and I don't believe he ever lost a wingman.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn contrast, here is the description of a pilot who was not wanted in a dive-bomber squadron:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"He is an individualist who will not practice teamwork. Could never be depended on to do a job, inasmuch as he would perform erratic maneuvers all over the sky, when he should have been in a definite position at a definite time. At one time he flew directly into another wingman who was flying correct position. Both planes were demolished and both pilots narrowly escaped death. Recently he bailed out of a plane which, in the opinion of those who saw it, could have been safely landed. He has torn up two other aircraft besides these two. He has always abused his airplane. Time and time again he has exceeded engine-operation limits, stress limits, and overload.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe men interviewed supplied the names of about 2,000 wanted and approximately the same number of not wanted pilots; and they gave descriptions of each man named. There weren't 2,000 different names at the two ends of the scale, since many pilots were named as wanted—or as not wanted—by more than one person. Agreement in appraising men as very good or very poor ran high. At the same time, once a man had received even one vote as wanted, the chance of his ever getting a vote as not wanted was very small.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pilots who gave these descriptions employed approximately 10,000 identifiable reasons (about 3 reasons for each name on the average) in telling why they wanted or did not want a given man to fly with them in combat. Because they agreed very well as to what they wanted and did not want in the men flying with them, it was found possible to sort almost all of this material into less than two dozen pigeon¬holes.

S. NAVY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou're on your way to being an accomplished flyer. More than that—an ac-complished combat flyer. You know what that entails—airmanship, seamanship, gunnery, navigation, radio, and more than a casual knowledge of your power plant.\u003cbr\u003eIt also entails something else—the responsibility on your part to remain alive to use the education given you in these branches of war aviation. You represent a lot of investment—you're a valuable property. So be a good fellow and don't knock yourself off.\u003cbr\u003eThe Navy decided to shoot another hundred and twenty-five dollars and provide you with a parachute. During your career as a Naval Aviator you will spend a great deal of time sitting on, among other things, your parachute. Do not allow the monotony of this to lull you into the false impression that a parachute is a cushion. If that were the purpose of it, the Navy could have provided you with a simple Kapok pillow that would have been less expensive and more comfortable. A parachute is much more than a cushion. It is a handy device for saving your life.\u003cbr\u003eA parachute consists of a large nylon umbrella, or bumbershoot, together with certain straps and buckles for attaching it to your person. The umbrella part will take care of its end with no help from you; the straps and buckles must be adjusted.\u003cbr\u003eProperly adjusted! Otherwise you may undergo the embarrassing experience of having a parachute bring you down quite safely, but in several pieces. This is due to the fact that when a parachute opens, it kicks like an Army mule. The opening of a carelessly adjusted parachute will often knock a man out. Correctly adjusted, the same parachute will waft you to earth safely, gently, and intact.\u003cbr\u003eIn the first place, those buckles are meant to be buckled. Otherwise you may reach the earth well ahead of your parachute, which is not considered par for the course. All straps should be properly positioned, and snug. This does not mean that you are expected to risk gangrene by cutting off your circulation entirely; it simply means that loose straps, particularly loose leg straps, can snap a bone like a twig when the 'chute opens.\u003cbr\u003eSo if your parachute is on—and adjusted—let us hurry on to the importance of (a) being aware of the necessity of getting out of your plane the instant you real¬ize you can't bring it in safely, (b) knowing how to get out, and (c) knowing what to do after you get out.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e28 pages - in english - PDF to download\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"US Navy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53944682283334,"sku":"580 DG 1944 EN","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/6901\/4698\/files\/USNavy-Parachutesense_1944_11.jpg?v=1736354026"},{"product_id":"airship-operation-in-world-war-ii-ebook","title":"Airship Operation in World War II (ebook)","description":"\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eAirship Operation in World War II\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eNaval Airship Training Command, Naval Air Station Lakehurst, NJ\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eAlthough unequivocally endorsed by the General Board and by the four successive Chiefs of the Bureau of Aeronautics, the US Navy had no definite nonrigid airship or \"blimp\" program until Congress included in the \"10,000 Plane Program\" of 15 June 1940, provision for 48 nonrigid airships.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e7 December 1941, found an airship organization on paper only, with no Fleet airship unit yet in service.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eThus airships in World War II were confronted with a long stern chase.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eRemembering the success of blimps in World War I, commandants of coastal Naval Districts who realized their usefulness, appealed to Washington.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eA large scale training program had to be established, not at new training bases, but in conjunction with other activities at two main airship overhaul and operating bases-Moffett Field, California and Lakehurst, New Jersey.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\"\u003eWhere used to direct and facilitate rendezvous and formation of convoys, airships commonly saved as many as 12 hours per convoy.

Hovering overhead, the airship can sight and warn sweeping vessels against floating mines they might not see. And in some waters, mines anchored beneath the surface and even sunken mines can be sighted from the leisurely moving airship.
