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.

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.
