The site, at www.timelessvoices.org , is an extensive overview of the program that was first unveiled during EAA AirVenture 2002 in Oshkosh. Timeless Voices is a major video history project of the EAA AirVenture Museum, to assure that the first-person oral histories of thousands who experienced aviations development are preserved for future generations of family members, teachers, students, historians and others. The program is also an official partner of the Library of Congress Veterans History Project, which is recording the experiences of veterans, especially from the World War II era. There are lifetimes of aviation knowledge, experience and lore that we are losing every day as these early aviators pass on, said Adam Smith, EAA AirVenture Museum Director. Thats why Timeless Voices is such a critical project to begin now. We are seeking not just the heroes and personalities, but individuals within every aspect of aviation. The programs theme, Let No Story Go Untold, accurately describes our mission, as each story provides another piece to the amazing portrait of flight during the last 100 years.

http://uscgaviationhistory.aoptero.org/history02.html

Extractions: A History of Coast Guard Aviation The Growth Years (1939-1956) The Coast Guard was transferred to the Navy Department by executive order 8929 on November 1, 1941. In actuality, certain units of the Coast Guard had been under Naval control for some time. Congress had passed the Neutrality Act on November 4, 1939. This legislation was designed to preserve the neutrality of the United States and made it unlawful for any US vessel to carry material or passengers to any designated belligerent State. Coast Guard aircraft and vessels were used to enforce this act. In April of 1941 an agreement was signed with Denmark for the protection of Greenland. Cutter based aircraft played an important part in this operation. The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and by December 11 a state of war existed with both Japan and Germany. The Coast Guard had a series of coastal air stations ideally suited for anti submarine patrol. They were located at Port Angeles, Washington; San Francisco, California; San Diego, California; Biloxi, Mississippi; St. Petersburg, Florida; Miami, Florida; Elizabeth City, North Carolina; Brooklyn, New York; and Salem, Massachusetts. The problem was lack of aircraft. There were a total of 50 aircraft, none of which were armed. It would be 1943 before the Coast Guard acquired aircraft that could be considered combat capable. Nevertheless, the existing aircraft were armed to the limit of their capabilities and patrols commenced. Coast Guard aircraft delivered 61 bombing attacks on enemy submarines during World War II.

Extractions: Click image for larger view ARMY AVIATION: BALLOON TO APACHE AN HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE The roots of Army Aviation can be traced back to 1861 and the formation of the Civil War-era Balloon Corps which pioneered the missions of reconnaissance and artillery spotting. Between World War I and World War II, while the Army Air Corps was concentrating on increasing capabilities for what had become its primary missions - bombing, close air support, and air-to-air combat - the Artillery was experimenting with using smaller, unsophisticated aircraft for adjustment of artillery fire. On 6 June 1942, the War Department authorized the Artillery to have as organic aircraft two "Cub" type aircraft in each Artillery Battalion. These aircraft were flown and maintained by artillery personnel - separate from the Army Air Force - to do the same mission as the Balloon Corps of the Civil War. What has now become Army Aviation was born. In July of 1947, the U.S. military underwent a major reorganization. The Department of Defense was created and absorbed the War and Navy Departments. The three major elements of the military became the Army, Navy, and Air Force. This action had little effect on Army Aviation. The Army, like the Navy and Marines, retained its organic aviation to perform the missions proven in World War II.

Coming under the wing of the National Museum of Science and Technology in 1967, the National Aeronautical Collection continued to acquire both military and civil aircraft important to Canadian and world aviation history. It has since grown to include more than 130 aircraft and countless artifacts such as engines, propellers, instruments, armament, flying gear and wind tunnel models. In 2000, the National Aviation Museum was officially renamed the Canada Aviation Museum and remains a component Museum of the Canada Science and Technology Museum Corporation. The Canada Aviation Museum is recognized as having the most extensive aviation collection in Canada and one which ranks among the best in the world. In 1988, the importance of the collection was acknowledged in the opening at Rockcliffe of the first phase of a multi-phase development program to serve as the new home of the collection.

Lawrence Hargrave: Australian Aviation Pioneer
Lawrence Hargrave His Role in the development of the Successful Aeroplane The serious study of aviation history is still very young.
http://www.ctie.monash.edu.au/hargrave/debenham.html

Extractions: The approaching millennium and the centenary of aviation should provide the impetus for aviation historians to begin the serious interpretation of their field of interest. My motivation to embark on this particular line of thought was a determination to reconcile the 'exalted' position Lawrence Hargrave held in world aviation during his lifetime to his current disregarded role as merely a maker and flier of kites. Gibbs-Smith is dismissive of Hargrave and Tom Crouch echoes Gibbs-Smith. Why then did Octave Chanute laud Hargrave as the man most likely to fly and why did Alexander Graham Bell visit him in his Woollahra Point home? The Wright brothers regarded him as one of the great pioneers of aviation even though they claimed that he made no contribution to their success. More precisely, what affect, if any, did Hargrave have on the development of the successful aeroplane? I have developed the hypothesis that the basic biplane structure with parallel wing leading and trailing edges of the successful Wright Flyer should owe some debt to Hargrave and his boxkite. Otto Lilienthal is generally cited as the major influence on the early development of aviation. While not wishing to downgrade his role, the Wright brother's 'Flyer' and Alberto Santos Dumont's '14bis', recognised as the first to achieve powered, controlled flight in Europe, owe nothing to the general layout of the Lilienthal gliders.

Extractions: (Redirected from History of aerial warfare Icarus and Daedalus Humanity's desire to fly probably dates back to the first time prehistoric man observed birds. Through all of recorded history aspects of this desire have surfaced from time to time. The most well known is the legendary story of Daedalus and Icarus . Daedalus was trapped on the island of Minos, and so built wings out of feathers and wax for himself and his son. His son Icarus flew too close to the sun and the wax melted, destroying the wings and causing Icarus to fall into the sea, killing him. The legend was designed to be a cautionary tale about attempting to reach heaven, similar to the Tower of Babel story in The Bible . Nevertheless, it exemplifies man's desire to fly. The modern history of aviation has had several broad trends. Aircraft designers have struggled to make their planes go faster, fly higher, and be controlled more easily. To that effect, engine designs have moved towards more compact, more powerful designs, beginning with steam engines and ending with jet and rocket engines . Planes have become more streamlined and made of stronger and lighter materials. Initially airplanes were made of canvas and wood . Today airplanes are made of aluminium , and increasingly, carbon fiber , which is prized for its lightness and strength. The methods used to control planes have advanced significantly as well. Initially planes were controlled by moving your entire body (
Russian Aviation Page: Soviet Gunships
of the development of the TU2 Tupelov gunships in 1947, which foreshadowed the AC-47 Puff The Magic Dragon gunship.
http://aeroweb.lucia.it/rap/RAFAQ/Gunships.html

Extractions: Soviet Gunships To my knowledge, there were no direct equivalents to the US AC (attack, cargo) type of aircraft were operational on large scale with Soviet/Russian air force, although some prototypes were build to asses the gunship's value. ANT-29/DIP multi-seat canon fighter ANT-29 was a first attempt to incorporate large canon on the aircraft. It was believed that this kind of weapon will be more lethal than a small-caliber aircraft gun and more precise than a bomb. Under Myasishchev's supervision, Tupolev team put a forward firing102mm Kurchyevskii gun (in which counterweight in rear of the weapon was fired at the same time as a projectile to reduce its recoil) on one of their medium range bombers. The aircraft was tested in 1934-35 and soon it was discovered that low-velocity gun was not acceptable as accurate air-to-ground weapon: the range to the target was changing significantly in the time it took to load and fire the round. Tu-2 gunships Tupolev returned to the idea of gunships in 1947. Few Tu-2 were fitted with RShR-57 antitank gun and this system proved to be more succesfull than ANT-29, although aircraft was not put into production. Another approach was used on Tu-2Sh: the pallet containing 88 PPSh submashine guns (infantry weapon) was fitted into bomber's bomb bay. Each submushine gun had its own drum and was aimed to fair at 45 degrees downwards. Although the practical use of this kind of system was very doubtfull, Tu-2Sh foreshadow the AC-47 "Puff The Magic Dragon" gunship developed much later in the USA.

Centaurus Radial engine The Rolls Royce or Packard built Rolls Royce Merlin is one of the finest piston engines ever conceived. Employing technology fifty years ahead of its time, the Merlin engine is a true fighter thoroughbred. T he Rolls-Royce Merlin, a British built engine, was developed in various steps. In the 1920's, Rolls-Royce oversaw the development of the 'R' engine, which evolved from both the Kestral and then Buzzard (Rolls-Royce utilized names of birds for their engines) to spur Britain's entry into the International Schneider Trophy seaplane contest. In 1931, the engine set a new world's speed record of over 400mph over water, and then over land. More importantly, as later events were about to prove, this design experience gave Rolls-Royce the technological basis to develop the Merlin. B y 1932, it was obvious that the 745hp "Kestrel" engine, that had thus far been a bestseller, was coming to the end of its developmental life. Sir Henry Royce, about one year before his death in 1933, made a decision to develop a new engine using some of the experience of the Schneider Trophy winning 'R' engine. This new engine was initially known as the PV12 (private venture), and was entirely funded by Rolls-Royce up to that point. However, in 1933, the British Air Ministry agreed to finance the development of this engine, which was then termed the "Merlin."

These were not stagnant displays from long ago but a new sort of history that continued to evolve, with artifacts constantly added as this vibrant field called aviation developed at a breakneck pace. Along with ever-changing displays, there are interactive exhibits, educational and public outreach programs, great lectures and even simulators that visitors can take a ride in to get the feel of what it was like to fly in some of the aircraft and spacecraft now on display in museums. Here are a few of the new programs we recently heard about: The Museum of Flight in Seattle, Wash., is one of the largest aviation and space museums in the world, hosting more than 400,000 visitors a year from around the globe. This past June 6, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of D-Day, the museum held the grand opening of its new $53.5 million, 88,000-square-foot Personal Courage Wing, which highlights the stories of heroism, determination, innovation and sacrifice of World War I and II aircrews. It presents the history, aircraft and memorabilia behind those human experiences through interactive displays and exhibits, flight simulators, live theater and multimedia presentations.
