By C. V. Glines for Aviation History Magazine Sitting on a shelf near my desk is a 4-inch-long cast metal single-engine monoplane model. On top of the wing is the word Lindy. It is the only artifact I have of my early childhood in the 1920s. My mother gave it to me shortly after Charles Lindbergh made his epochal flight across the Atlantic Ocean alone, 75 years ago this month. How much has happened in aviation since then-and how much that one flight influenced its development. It was 120 years after the first Montgolfier balloon had lifted off the ground that the Wrights proved that a heavier-than-air machine could take off on its own power, fly under control and land safely. After validating their work, the Wrights seemed content to leave its refinement to others. Aviation made some long strides during World War I, but most of them were in Europe, not America.

Extractions: WESTERN AUSTRALIAN AVIATION HISTORY One of the major roles of the Bull Creek Collection is to encourage the understanding of Western Australian aviation history. Many of its aeroplanes and displays contribute directly to doing this. Western Australia is a very large state covering almost a million square miles (2.5 million square kilometres) and occupying a third of the continent of Australia. It's vast area and small population has made transport and communications very important for its inhabitants and so aviation has been a very important feature of its development. There were recorded balloon flights in Western Australia dating from around 1890. The first major sustained flights in Australia took place in Western Australia's capital, Perth, in January 1911 in a Bristol Boxkite flown by J J Hammond. Unlike earlier short flights in Australia these were sustained and controlled. During the longest flight the pilot got lost in cloud and returned to ground after nearly three quarters of an hour with his fuel almost exhausted. Developments overseas inspired Western Australians to construct their own aeroplanes. The most successful was the Kalgoorlie Biplane. It made a series of flights in the skies over Kalgoorlie and Perth before being put into storage when its makers became involved in the events of World War I.

Extractions: Coast Guard Aviation History By Robert Scheina The Coast Guard was introduced to aviation in 1903 when the "surfmen" from the Kill Devil Hill Lifeboat Station in North Carolina provided the Wright Brothers with added muscle during the pre-launch activities of that epic flight. Three surfmen helped carry the fragile biplane from its shelter to the launch site on 17 December. Surfman J.T. Daniels took the only photograph of the event using the Wrights’ camera. During World War I, Coast Guard aviators were assigned to naval air stations in this country and abroad. One Coast Guardsman commanded the Naval Air Station, Ille Tudy, France, and won the French Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. Another commanded the Chatham Naval Air Station. He also piloted one of two HS-1 seaplanes that bombed and machine-gunned a German U-boat off the coast of New England. The bombs failed to explode and the submarine escaped. A by-product of the war effort was the stimulus and potential to fly the Atlantic. In May 1919, four Navy Curtiss seaplanes, each crewed by five, began the great experiment. One plane

The life-savers were John T. Daniels, W.S. Dough and A.D. Etheridge. 1 April: Second Lieutenant Charles E. Sugden and Third Lieutenant Elmer F. Stone received orders to attend aviation training at Pensacola Naval Air Station. 29 August: Naval Appropriation Act of 1916 provided the authorization, but not the funding, for ten Coast Guard Air Stations to be located along the coasts of the Atlantic, Pacific, Great Lakes, and the Gulf of Mexico. 28 October: Second Lieutenant Norman B. Hall was ordered to the Curtiss Aeroplane and Motor Company to study aircraft engineering and construction. March 22: The first Coast Guard aviators graduated from Pensacola Naval Aviation Training School. Third Lieutenant Elmer Stone became Coast Guard Aviator #1 and Naval Aviator #38. April 6: After the U.S. entered World War I, Coast Guard aviators were assigned to naval air stations in this country and abroad. One Coast Guardsman commanded the Naval Air Station at Ille Tudy, France, and won the French Chevalier of the Legion of Honor. Another commanded Chatham Naval Air Station.

Extractions: A History of Coast Guard Aviation The Early Years (1915-1938) It could be said the Coast Guard's introduction to aviation took place in 1903 when the surfmen from the Kill Devil Hill Life Boat Station of the US Life saving Service provided the Wright Brothers with additional man power during the pre-launch activities of that epic flight. They helped transport the Wright biplane to its launch site. Surfman J.T. Daniels took the only photograph of the event . By act of Congress, the US Life Saving Service was merged with the Revenue Cutter Service on 28 January 1915 to form the United States Coast Guard. Coast Guard Aviation dates officially from an Act of Congress, which President Woodrow Wilson signed into law on 24 August 1916, There is no doubt, however, that Coast Guard Aviation owes its beginnings to Second Lieutenant Norman B. Hall and Third Lieutenant Elmer F. Stone who conceived of using aircraft for Coast Guard missions. In early 1915 they convinced their commanding officer, Captain B.M. Chiswell , that what the Coast Guard required was a "flying surfboat". Captain Chiswell immediately brought this to the attention of Coast Guard officials in Washington, DC. Aircraft designer Glenn H Curtiss was approached and persuaded to design a suitable aircraft for rescue work. The result was a triplane with a short boat-like hull with the control surfaces mounted on the tail booms. The Coast Guard Commandant E P Bertholf queried the US Navy Department concerning the possibility of training USCG officers as pilots. The Navy agreed and

Leadership Into 2001 And Beyond When the United States entered World War I in 1917, the U.S. government searched for a company to develop the first airplane engine "booster" for the fledgling U.S. aviation industry. This booster, or turbosupercharger, installed on a piston engine, used the engine's exhaust gases to drive an air compressor to boost power at higher altitude. General Electric accepted the challenge first, but another team also requested the chance to develop the turbosupercharger. Contracts were awarded in what was the first military aircraft engine competition in the U.S.A. Under wartime secrecy, both companies tested and developed various designs until the Army called for a test demonstration. In the bitter atmosphere of Pikes Peak, 14,000 feet above sea level, General Electric demonstrated a 350-horsepower, turbosupercharged Liberty aircraft engine and entered the business of making airplanes fly higher, faster, and with more efficiency than ever before. That mountaintop test of the first turbosupercharger landed GE's first aviation-related government contract and paved the way for GE to become a world leader in jet engines. For more than two decades, GE produced turbosuperchargers that enabled aircraft, including many in service during World War II, to fly higher, with heavier payloads. The Company's expertise in turbines in general and in turbosuperchargers in particular figured significantly in the U.S. Army Air Force's selecting GE to develop the nation's first jet engine.
Extractions: California State Military Department The California Military Museum Preserving California's Military Heritage California Aviation History California's Story of Flight . . . A Historical Perspective By Mark J. Denger California Center for Military History The basic concept of powered flight was achieved on December 17, 1903, when two brothers, Wilbur and Orville Wright, became the first men in aviation history to be able to achieve powered flight. Since the earliest of time man has dreamt of flight. One of the World's greatest artist, architect, inventor and philosopher, Leonardo Da Vinci (1452-1519), spent nearly twenty years of his life inventing various contraptions for use by man in the area of flight. His sketch books are filled with ideas that even include the earliest design for a parachute and even the helicopter (Helix). Anyone who has observed the prowess of the hawk in flight can only watch in awe. This magnificent bird-of-prey is able to glide through the sky on just the air currents alone, then suddenly, with its wings swept back, is able to dive down and sweep its prey in just moments. Yet, men would laugh at those who tried to emulate these magnificent creatures –adding "If god wanted man to fly he would have given him wings."
