When the Second World War started, he originally wished to enter the Royal Air Force ( his father having been in the Royal Flying Corps ), but was turned down as at that point there were no vacancies!!! He therefore joined the Irish Guards as a subaltern and hence commenced his own type of war, causing chaos, blowing up bridges and for a short time owning a Messerschmitt Bf 109, which he subsequently blew up with spectacular results in case the original owner re - appeared. He was heavily involved with the ’ Micks ’ ( Irish Guards ) in ’ Operation Market Garden ’ after his landing in Normandy on the beaches.\u003cbr\u003eAfter the war, and patched up as well as could be done, he attended the Glasgow School of Art where, having to change hands, he trained as an artist. This was a skill he was to use until very recently and which led to him becoming a Fellow of the Guild of Aviation Artists and a former Chairman of that Guild. He found employment with the Royal Aero Club of the United Kingdom as their librarian. This suited him down to the ground, as his other love is Naval, Army and Air Force history. He had the run of the Library at the Royal Aeronautical Society and was paid to do this.\u003cbr\u003eJohn Blake became a stalwart of the British Aerobatic Association and an International Aerobatic Judge and was the Contest Director for the World Aerobatic Championships held in Hullavington in 1970. He has published a couple of books about aviation, such as Early Airplanes ( 1974 ), Aviation Art ( 1987 ) and 40 Years at Farnborough : S.B.A.C.'s International Aviation Showcase ( with Mike Hooks, 1990 ).\u003cbr\u003e( sources : amazon, www.cahood.com )\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"aviation.brussels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31552688390230,"sku":"1","price":50.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/products\/img-8318_d3593df5-b273-4ee9-bfe2-f10acf5c0eef.jpg?v=1575940488"},{"product_id":"supermarine-s5-on-take-off-1927-1929-schneider-trophy","title":"Supermarine S.5 on take - off ( 1927 - 1929 Schneider Trophy )","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left; background-color: #f7f8f9; padding: 20px; border-left: 4px solid #647382;\"\u003eThis is a watercolour on a piece of cardboard that depicts a Supermarine S.5 on take - off during the 1927 - 1929 Schneider Trophy.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 13px;\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e23,3 x 12,8 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eThe Supermarine S.5 was a 1920's British single - engined single - seat racing seaplane built by Reginald Joseph Mitchell ( 1895 - 1937 ) for Supermarine. Designed specifically for the Schneider Trophy competition, the S.5 was the progenitor of a line of racing aircraft that ultimately led to the Supermarine Spitfire.\u003cbr\u003eThe Supermarine S.5 was designed by Reginald J. Mitchell for the 1927 Schneider Trophy. Following the earlier loss of the S.4 before the 1925 Schneider Trophy event, he designed a new all - metal monoplane racer. Unlike the S.4's all - wood structure, the S.5 featured composite construction with the semi - monocoque fuselage mainly duralumin including the engine cowlings. The S.5 had a low, braced wing with spruce spars and spruce - ply ribs and a plywood skin. The wing surface radiators made up of corrugated copper sheets replaced the Lamblin type radiators of the S.4. Three aircraft were built, one with a direct drive 900 hp ( 671 kW ) Napier Lion VIIA engine, and the other two with a geared 875 hp ( 652 kW ) Napier Lion VIIB engine.\u003cbr\u003eThe first aircraft flew for the first time on June 7th, 1927. The S.5's came 1st and 2nd in the 1927 race held at Venice ( Italy ), the winning aircraft ( Serial number N220 ) was flown by Flight Lieutenant Sidney Norman Webster ( 1900 - 1984 ) at an average speed of 281.66 mph ( 453.28 km\/h ). One S.5, N221, crashed during an attempt on the world air speed record on March 12th, 1928, killing the pilot Flight Lieutenant Samuel Kinkead ( who had flown the Gloster IV in the 1927 Schneider Trophy Race ).\u003cbr\u003eReginald J. Mitchell decided that the Napier engined aircraft had reached its limits of performance due to the powerplant and for the 1929 Schneider Trophy race, redesigned the aircraft with a new Rolls - Royce engine as the Supermarine S.6. Concern over the unreliability of the Gloster VI, led to the High Speed Flight entering one S.5 ( N219 ) along with the two S.6's for the race. The S.5 flown by Flight Lieutenant David D'Arcy Alexander Greig ( 1900 - 1986 ) finished third in 46 minutes 15 seconds at a speed of 282.11 mph ( 454.20 km\/h ), behind the winning S.6 flown by Flying Officer Henry Richard Danvers ’ Dick ’ Waghorn ( 1904 - 1931 ) and a Macchi M.52 ( Italian ).\u003cbr\u003eThe Coupe d'Aviation Maritime Jacques Schneider, commonly called the Schneider Trophy or Schneider Prize, was a trophy awarded annually ( and later, biennially ) to the winner of a race for seaplanes and flying boats.\u003cbr\u003eAnnounced in 1912 by Jacques Schneider, a French financier, balloonist and aircraft enthusiast, the competition offered a prize of approximately £1,000. The race was held twelve times between 1913 and 1931. It was intended to encourage technical advances in civil aviation but became a contest for pure speed with laps over a ( usually ) triangular course ( initially 280 km, later 350 km ). The contests were staged as time trials, with aircraft setting off individually at pre - agreed times, usually 15 minutes apart.\u003cbr\u003eThe contests were very popular and some attracted crowds of over 200,000 spectators. If an aero club won three races in five years, they would retain the trophy and the winning pilot would receive 75,000 francs for each of the first three wins. Each race was hosted by the previous winning country. The races were supervised by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale and the aero club in the hosting country. Each club could enter up to three competitors with an equal number of alternatives.\u003cbr\u003eThe race was significant in advancing aeroplane design, particularly in the fields of aerodynamics and engine design, and would show its results in the best fighters of the Second World War. The streamlined shape and the low drag, liquid - cooled engine pioneered by Schneider Trophy designs are obvious in the British Supermarine Spitfire, the American North American P - 51 Mustang and the Italian Macchi C.202 Folgore.\u003cbr\u003eBetween 1913 and 1931, The competition was won five times by the United Kingdom, three times by Italy, twice by the United States and once by France. The Schneider Trophy is now held at the Science Museum, South Kensington ( London, England ).\u003cbr\u003e( sources : Wikipedia, www.rafweb.org )\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFeature( s ) : Watercolour on a piece of cardboard.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"aviation.brussels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31552692093014,"sku":"1","price":120.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/products\/img-7101_1.jpg?v=1673709569"},{"product_id":"world-war-ii-aircraft-in-combat-43-famous-warplanes-depicted-in-raging-conflict","title":"WORLD WAR II AIRCRAFT IN COMBAT, 43 FAMOUS WARPLANES DEPICTED IN RAGING CONFLICT","description":"\n                \u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left; background-color: #f7f8f9; padding: 20px; border-left: 4px solid #647382;\"\u003e\n                This wonderful book, which contains plenty of paintings ( made by W.T. \" Tony \" Weddell or Weddel ) and detailed texts, shows 43 famous warplanes in action during the Second World War.\n                \u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003cbr\u003e\n                \u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 13px;\"\u003eCaractéristiques\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                \u003ctable class=\"table table-striped\"\u003e\n                    \u003ctbody\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-1\" data-attribute-id=\"1\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e27 x 22 x 2 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-2\" data-attribute-id=\"2\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNbr. de pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e144\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-3\" data-attribute-id=\"3\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCartonné\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-4\" data-attribute-id=\"4\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eParticularités\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJaquette \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-5\" data-attribute-id=\"5\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnnée d’édition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1976\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-6\" data-attribute-id=\"6\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLangue\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnglais\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-7\" data-attribute-id=\"7\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEtat du livre\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTrès bon état\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-8\" data-attribute-id=\"8\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuteur\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGlenn B.

Three years in the making, this unique book is a tribute to the designers, builders, pilots and crewmen of the magnificent machines they were privileged to be associated with.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGlenn B. Bavousett ( 1926 - 1991 ) was born in Fort Worth ( Texas, United States ). He always had a yearning to fly, but when he joined the Navy during the Second World War ( at the age of seventeen ), he found that they needed radarmen more than aerial radiomen - gunners, which he wanted to be. He saw most of the Pacific battle sites, including D - Day landings during the invasions of Leyte and Linguyen Gulf in the Philippines and at Okinawa.\u003cbr\u003eAfter the war, he volunteered for the atomic tests at Bikini, and was a supervisor aboard one of the observation ships. After the tests, Glenn B. Bavousett returned to Texas, married, and began a family. Then, he took part in the Korean War aboard the cruiser Rochester, and saw action along the east coast of Korea. Afterwards, he returned to the United States and was then transferred to destroyer duty. When his tour was up he again returned to Texas, this time to stay with his wife and their three sons. He entered art school, where it was discovered he had an especial talent for mechanical subjects.\u003cbr\u003eGlenn B. Bavousett became a technical illustrator for Consolidated Aircraft ( now General Dynamics ) and, later, Bell Helicopter.

Here, put into vivid colours and placed on canvas by the deft brush of ’ Tony ’ Weddell ( or Weddel ), are scenes of World War II aerial combat - combat that brings back memories slowly into oblivion for many of us who took part in it. For those too young to remember, or yet unborn, the paintings are priceless portrayals of engagements fought in a btter conflict. Through extensive research, attention to detail of battle engagement and airborne equipment, and participant or witness verification, the paintings and their story lines become historical documents that will be cherished more and more as the World War II years fade from living memory.\u003cbr\u003eExcerpt of the foreword by\u003cbr\u003eColonel Hubert ’ Hub ’ Zemke, U.S.A.F.

Bavousett ( 1926 - 1991 ) was born in Fort Worth ( Texas, United States ). He always had a yearning to fly, but when he joined the Navy during the Second World War ( at the age of seventeen ), he found that they needed radarmen more than aerial radiomen - gunners, which he wanted to be. He saw most of the Pacific battle sites, including D - Day landings during the invasions of Leyte and Linguyen Gulf in the Philippines and at Okinawa.\u003cbr\u003eAfter the war, he volunteered for the atomic tests at Bikini, and was a supervisor aboard one of the observation ships. After the tests, Glenn B. Bavousett returned to Texas, married, and began a family. Then, he took part in the Korean War aboard the cruiser Rochester, and saw action along the east coast of Korea. Afterwards, he returned to the United States and was then transferred to destroyer duty. When his tour was up he again returned to Texas, this time to stay with his wife and their three sons. He entered art school, where it was discovered he had an especial talent for mechanical subjects.\u003cbr\u003eGlenn B. Bavousett became a technical illustrator for Consolidated Aircraft ( now General Dynamics ) and, later, Bell Helicopter. Soon after, he started a technical publication business that assisted the aircraft and electronics industry in preparing technical literature for their customers. In 1971 he retired to do something that had been building up inside him for some time - the creation of a gallery of oil paintings of the Second World War aircraft in combat.\u003cbr\u003eGlenn B.

Together the artistry of Michael Turner and the many accounts of R.A.F. personnel of past and present make this a unique and fascinating record of the development of the Royal Air Force, of interest to air historians, members of the R.A.F. and laymen alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMichael Turner ( 1934 ) was born and raised within the suburbs of Harrow, Middlesex ( England, Great Britain ). During the Second World War, he became interested in aviation and aeroplanes of the Royal Air Force and drew aircraft in his school exercise books which infuriated his teachers. After the war, he developed an interest in motoring and motorsport when during his family holiday to the Isle of Man in 1947, they attended the British Empire Trophy Race.\u003cbr\u003eAfter leaving school, Michael Turner attended an art college, followed by national service with the Royal Electrical and Mechanical Engineers for two years. His first job after national service was with a London advertising studio and he turned freelance in 1957. His artworks was shown regularly on the wall of the renowned Steering Wheel Club in London and many of these illustrations appeared on magazine and book covers. He is a founder member of The Guild of Aviation Artists, of which he has been Chairman on two occasions and is currently President, and is also a Honorary Fellow of the Guild of Motoring Artists.\u003cbr\u003eMichael Turner counts racing drivers, teams, sponsors, pilots, motor and aircraft manufacturers, R.A.F. and Army messes, museums and private collections as his client lists and has hosted a number of solo shows all over the world, plus other specialist shows. Here are some of his published works : La vie d’un mécanicien ( with Melville Wallace, 1979 ), Formula One : The Cars and the Drivers ( with Nigel Roebuck, 1983 ), Luftwaffe Aircraft ( with Francis K. Mason, 1986 ) and Drawing and Painting Racing Cars ( 1999 ).\u003cbr\u003eRaymond ’ Chaz ’ Bowyer ( September 29th, 1926 - June 18th, 2008 ) was born in Weymouth ( Dorset, England ). He was educated at high schools in Solihull and Nelson ( England ). ’ Chaz ’ Bowyer joined the Royal Air Force in 1943 at the age of 16 under the Aircraft Apprentice Scheme, based at R.A.F. Halton. The scheme had been instituted by Lord Trenchard to improve the supply of technically trained ground crew and its entrants were affectionately known as ’ Trenchard brats ’.

Entering the R.C.A.F. in 1950, he accumulated 4.000 flying hours as a navigator, including a tour at the U.S.A.F. Air Academy. Following this he became actively involved in research and systems analysis work with the Defence Research Board and at Air Force Headquarters. In 1966, Don Connolly resigned his commission to enter the world of small business. Together with another ex - Air force colleague he founded a retail store which in time grew into a string of five stores and a picture framing factory. In 1978, he left this operation to strike out on his own as a freelance artist. He has now been painting as a professional for 25 years, and numbers his output of original ( aviation ) works as being ’ well over 2000 ’. Commissions are a specialty, and now consume most of his time at the easel, although his works can still be found on display at several galleries.\u003cbr\u003e( sources : PAINTING PLANES, PICTURE THIS! framing \u0026amp; gallery )\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"aviation.brussels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31552753139798,"sku":"1","price":50.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/files\/img-5296.png?v=1692452715"},{"product_id":"aviation-paintings","title":"Aviation Paintings","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left; background-color: #f7f8f9; padding: 20px; border-left: 4px solid #647382;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e84 pages - 1972 - Used, very good condition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left; background-color: #f7f8f9; padding: 20px; border-left: 4px solid #647382;\"\u003eThis well - preserved book shows both impressionist paintings and drawings of Canadian aeroplanes and airmen during the world wars.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 13px;\"\u003eCharacteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-striped\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-1\" data-attribute-id=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBook cover finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerfect paperback \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-1\" data-attribute-id=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eCondition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eUsed, very good condition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-2\" data-attribute-id=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNumber of pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e84\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-4\" data-attribute-id=\"4\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePublished date\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1972\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-5\" data-attribute-id=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLanguage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eEnglish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-6\" data-attribute-id=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e21 x 26 x 1 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-7\" data-attribute-id=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuthor\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRobert Francis Wodehouse\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-8\" data-attribute-id=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEditor \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNational Museums of Canada\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 13px;\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eFrom the early flights of the Silver Dart and its aircraft at Baddeck and Petawawa in 1909, Canadians had had a hint of the part that aircraft would play in their military history, yet it was not until the close of the First World War that the first Canadian squadrons were formed. Meanwhile, Canadians by the thousands had flocked to the British air services ; and the Bishops and Collishaws, Barkers and McLeods left an imperishable record. Unfortunately, only a handful of war paintings illustrate their accomplishments, in contrast with the attention that was focused on the Canadian Corps. When a second global conflict again brought Canada to arms, this disproportion of attention was not repeated, and in most theatres of war where Canadian airmen served, Canadian artists were on hand to give their own vivid impressions of the men and their arms.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"aviation.brussels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31552794525782,"sku":"1","price":30.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/files\/img-3880.jpg?v=1692458642"},{"product_id":"the-aviation-art-of-frank-wootton","title":"THE AVIATION ART OF FRANK WOOTTON","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left; background-color: #f7f8f9; padding: 20px; border-left: 4px solid #647382;\"\u003eAviation paintings from Frank Wooton.

Toutefois, dans ce qu'on est convenu d'appeler les pays du bloc de l'Ouest, l'annonce de l'exploit russe, lequel pour un premier essai se révélait être un coup de maître, créa une telle surprise que nombre de spécialistes eurent peine à y croire d'emblée. Du point de vue purement historique, il semble que ce soit l'écrivain allemand Kurt Lasswitz qui fut le premier, en 1897, à décrire un satellite artificiel dans un roman d'anticipation. Une trentaine d'années plus tard, soit en 1929, le Russe Constantin Tziolkowsky, qui peut être considéré comme le plus éminent précurseur de l'astronautique, publia sa propre conception d'une ’ cité cosmique ’.\u003cbr\u003eDepuis lors, bien sûr, les projets de satellites habités ou non ne manquèrent pas et chaque grande firme américaine actuellement plus ou loins liée à l'industrie spatiale a le sien dans ses tiroirs.

Für den 1905 in Stuttgart geborenen Martin Schempp war diese Firmengründung ein Wagnis, dessen Risiken allerdings durch langjährige Erfahrung im Bau und im Umgang mit Segelflugzeugen und durch die Mitarbeit qualifizierter Fachleute gemildert wurden. Bis heute hat die Problematik des motorlosen Fluges in diesem Unternehmen nichts von ihrer Faszination verloren. Von der ’ Gö 1 ’ des Jahres 1935 über ’ Minimoa ’, ’ Gö 4 ’ und ’ St. Austria S ’ bis zu den modernen Kunststoffkonstruktionen ’ Cirrus ’, ’ Nimbus ’ und ’ Janus ’ kann Schempp - Hirth eine stolze Bilanz Vorweisen - Grund genug, sich auf den Werdegang dieser heute zweitältesten deutschen Firma in der Herstellung von Segelflugzeugen zu Besinnen. Dabei darf nicht übersehen werden, daß Martin Schempp al erster Unternehmer den Mut aufbrachte, Segelflugzeuge in größeren Serien mit günstigem Preis \/ Leistungsverhältnis aufzulegen ; er hat damit die Entwicklung der Segelfliegerei zum Volkssport entscheidend vorangetrieben.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e---\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003ePeter F.

L'équipage prit place à bord dès le lever du jour : Jean Mermoz ( 23 traversées ), Pichodou ( 38 ), tous deux pilotes, le navigateur Ezan ( 17 ), le radio Cruveilher ( 10 ), le mécanicien Lavidalie ( 20 ).\u003cbr\u003eUn premier essai ne fut pas favorable : de l'huile, échappée du moteur, empêcha la manoeuvre de l'hélice à pas variable. Jean Mermoz fit demi - tour, se reposa à Dakar. La réparation fut effectuée et, à 6h.52, les cinq hommes d'élite s'envolèrent : dernière vision aux yeux des vivants.\u003cbr\u003ePendant près de quatre heures, les messages se succédèrent avec régularité. A 10h.47, ultime appel : ’ Coupons moteur arrière droit... ’ Puis plus rien.\u003cbr\u003e( ... ) Ce laconisme fait peur et permet, malgré le mystère, de situer presque à coup sûr l'heure de la tragédie. L'arbre porte - hélice du moteur endommagé avait dû accomplir des ravages ou l'appareil déséquilibré était tombé avec la violence accrue de ses 23 tonnes et s'était englouti au plus profond de l'Océan. La même catastrophe s'était produite le 10 février 1936 : l'hydravion du même type, Ville - de - Buenos - Aires, disparut de façon aussi énigmatique...\u003cbr\u003e( ... ) Ainsi, à dix mois de distance, onze de nos plus vaillants héros de l'aviation anonyme ont disparu. Il ne suffit pas de les pleurer, il convient de prendre des mesures pour éviter le retour de pareilles hécatombes.\u003cbr\u003e( ... ) Hélas ! malgré notre volonté de nous accrocher avec ferveur à la moindre possibilité de retrouver ces vaillants sains et saufs, il fallut bien nous rendre à l'évidence : l'épouvantable disparition devait remonter au moment du dernier message et l'Océan, une fois de plus, gardera le secret de son assassinat.

D'abord professeur d'histoire, il devient journaliste sportif, dès 1908, et écrit notamment dans La Vie au grand air.\u003cbr\u003ePar la suite, il se passionne pour l'aviation naissante, devient vite l'intime des plus grands et se spécialise dans le journalisme d'aviation pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Il publie ses articles concernant l'aviation militaire française dans de nombreux journaux, dont Le Matin, L'Illustration, Le Journal et La Revue de Paris.\u003cbr\u003eEn novembre 1916, après avoir publié ses articles dans la revue J'ai vu, il fonde son propre hebdomadaire : La Guerre aérienne illustrée ( qui prendra le nom de La Vie aérienne début 1919 ). Mortane est l'anagrame de Romanet.\u003cbr\u003eIl épouse Simone Leclercq, le 20 septembre 1921, à Ambleteuse ( Pas - de - Calais, France ).\u003cbr\u003eConfident de plusieurs As, dont Georges Guynemer, Charles Nungesser ou René Dorme, il n'en oublie pas pour autant les bombardiers et les observateurs qu'il s'efforce de sortir de l'ombre.\u003cbr\u003eIl a publié de nombreux ouvrages dédiés aux As de l'aviation, et a ainsi contribué à la légende qui les entoure.\u003cbr\u003eDécoré de la Légion d'honneur et enseignant à l'École Nationale Supérieure d'Aéronautique, il décède à Paris, à l'âge de 56 ans.\u003cbr\u003eJacques Mortane, malgré une vie assez courte, fut l'auteur de nombreux ouvrages.

Il est toujours difficile, dans des domaines aux multiples facettes, de schématiser sans trahir le sujet. Les auteurs ont su, avec maîtrise, nous donner une image vraie de l'aéronautique. Ils se sont tenus dans leur juste milieu entre une technique aride et une vulgarisation trop facile en sorte que leur étude ne prête pas à la critique de la part des spécialistes, tout en restant à la portée de ceux moins familiarisés avec les notions de plus en plus complexes que l'aéronautique a engendrées.\u003cbr\u003e( ... ) Un tel document me semble présenter un intérêt certain.

Most people who know of the Wrights' flight associate it with a place : Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Lindbergh's flight is usually thought of as originating simply in ’ New York ’. Some may remember that the ’ Lone Eagle ’ took off for Paris from a place called ’ Roosevelt Field ’.\u003cbr\u003e( ... ) Roosevelt Field is now the site of a shopping center and a racetrack in a fairly typical suburb about twenty miles east of Manhattan In Nassau County, Long Island, New York, and has been so for over thirty years ; but, beginning almost eighty years ago, for a period of about thirty years, Roosevelt Field was the bustling site of some of the most spectacular advances in aviation anywhere in the world.\u003cbr\u003e( ... ) All things considered, Long Island proved to be ideal for experiments in flying with powered machines. Large tracts of land were available. Its location, about halfway between Europe and the Pacific Coast, was a natural starting or terminal point for both transcontinental and trans - Atlantic flights. Futhermore, no place on Long Island is very far from water, providing a number of sites for the testing and flying of seaplanes. Adjoining and partly coextensive with heavily populated New York City, Long Island was also a natural source of skilled labor for the aeronautical industry. Its airfields were convenient to the many budding aviators in the metropolitan area ( among whom was one of the present authors, George Dade ). And it provided large, enthusiastic audiences for the many flying competitions held in early days, as well as for many of the most sensational recordbreaking flights.\u003cbr\u003e( ... ) The concentration of so much achievement in American aviation on Long Island in those pioneering days made it truly the ’ cradle of aviation ’, as it has been called. Even to this day, research and manufacturing for the aerospace industry go on, demonstrating Long Island's continuing role in this field. Yet somehow the standard histories of aviation have missed noticing all this, even while they recount numerous events that did in fact take place on Long Island. It is no wonder that so few people are aware of Long Island's central place in aviation history. One reason for the present book is to fill this historical gap.\u003cbr\u003e( ... ) You will find here photographs not only of a triumphant Charles Lindbergh and his Spirit of St. Louis but also of many other great aviators, innovative airplanes, and scenes of startling achievement, as well as a record of well - meaning failures and curiosities, and of the exciting everyday activities that made Long Island's airfields the focus of so much eager attention in those wonderful years. ( ... )\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeorge C. Dade ( 1913 - May 27th, 1998 ), as a boy on Long Island ( New York, United States ), was so enthralled watching the pioneering giants of aviation take off from his front yard that he devoted much of his life to preserving memories of those early pilots and restoring some of their planes. It is tempting to wonder what sort of obsession George C. Dade might have developed if his father, an Iowa - born Minnesota homesteader, hadn't read about job openings at Glenn Curtiss's airplane factory on Long Island in 1921.\u003cbr\u003eAt the age of 9, George C. Dade found himself living in a converted Army hospital in the middle of Curtiss Field, a magnet for the storied aviators of the 1920's that had been carved out of the old Hazlehurst Army Base along with the adjacent Roosevelt Field. George C. Dade lived there, working part - time for the Curtiss Flying Service - and meeting world - famous pilots ( Richard E. Byrd, Amelia Earhart and Charles A. Lindbergh ) - while he attended high school. His biggest regret was that he had not been present at Roosevelt Field when Charles A. Lindbergh ( 1902 - 1974 ) took off on his historic solo flight to Paris on May 20th, 1927. Because it had been raining, George C. Dade stayed in bed rather than pay his usual morning visit to the field before school.\u003cbr\u003eAfter Lindbergh made a triumphant return to Curtiss Field the following year, George C. Dade, wearing the white coveralls he had stained with oil to make him look like a mechanic rather than a lowly ticket seller, had his picture taken adjusting the great man's parachute. He first soloed in 1929, when he was 16 years old.\u003cbr\u003eHe had earned his pilot's license at 17 years old, or crashed a plane in a Connecticut farm field at 18 years old, a transforming experience that led him first to establish a business ( with his brother ) retrieving wrecked planes and then to make enough money shipping warplanes to Europe during the Second Wold War to finance his later efforts to create an aviation museum.\u003cbr\u003eIn 1945, he was named by the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce as one of the ’ Ten Outstanding Young Men of the Year ’. After that, George C. Dade, who had graduated from New York University, didn't have to make a living, but he did have his old obsession to deal with.\u003cbr\u003eWhen he learned in 1973 that Charles A. Lindbergh's very first plane, a First World War Curtiss ’ Jenny ’ that had been crashed by a later owner, was rotting in an Iowa hog barn, George C. Dade bought the remains and recruited retired aviation mechanics to restore it in his Glen Head garage ( New York, United States ). The plane, which Lindbergh himself later confirmed was his own, is the centerpiece of a collection of about 60 planes, rockets and missiles George C. Dade helped assemble for the Cradle of Aviation Museum.\u003cbr\u003eGeorge C. Dade served three terms as president of the Long Island Early Fliers Club and was the first chairman of the Cradle of Aviation Committee of the Friends for Long Island's Heritage, a National Governor of the OX - 5 Aviation Pioneers and an Associate Member of the Early Birds of Aviation. In 1979, he coauthored, with George Vecsey, Getting off the Ground, a book about the pioneers of aviation.\u003cbr\u003eGeorge C. Dade passed away at a hospital near his home in Glen Head. He was 85 years old.\u003cbr\u003e( sources : The New York Times, PICTURE HISTORY OF AVIATION ON LONG ISLAND, 1908 - 1938 )\u003cbr\u003eFrank Strnad has been intimately associated with aviation and was one of its most respected historians. His writings on the subject have been published internationally, and he was a consultant to authors, artists and museums. His penchant for detail helped assure the accurate restoration of Lindbergh's ’ Jenny ’ ( which he originally located ) as well as the accuracy of the caption in Picture History of Aviation on Long Island, 1908 - 1938 ( 1989 ). Frank Strnad was also a pilot, an aviation photographer and an ardent collector of aviation memorabilia, specializing in Long Island.\u003cbr\u003e( source : PICTURE HISTORY OF AVIATION ON LONG ISLAND, 1908 - 1938 )\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"aviation.brussels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31552839090262,"sku":"1","price":75.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/products\/img-8440_5d5d75af-f222-414e-a4af-d13912ac77fa.jpg?v=1575941597"},{"product_id":"danske-militaerfly-gennem-50-ar-1912-1962","title":"DANSKE MILITÆRFLY GENNEM 50 ÅR, 1912 - 1962","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left; background-color: #f7f8f9; padding: 20px; border-left: 4px solid #647382;\"\u003eDenne interessante lille bog, illustreret med flere fotografier, viser de enheder, der er brugt i Flyvevåbnet ( fra 1912 til 1962 ).\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 13px;\"\u003eCaractéristiques\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-striped\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-1\" data-attribute-id=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e24 x 16 x 0,5 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-2\" data-attribute-id=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNbr. de pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e74\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-3\" data-attribute-id=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBroché\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-4\" data-attribute-id=\"4\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnnée d’édition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1962\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-5\" data-attribute-id=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLangue\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDansk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-7\" data-attribute-id=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuteur\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHans Kofoed\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-8\" data-attribute-id=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEditeur \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFLYV’S FORLAG\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 13px;\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003eFORORD \u003cbr\u003eDenne bog giver sig ikke ud for at være bogen om dansk militærflyvnings historie, men selv om den kun omhandler de anvendte flytyper, kunne den nemt være blevet mange gange større.

He was the only man ever to hold the three most coveted gold medals for flying : from the Royal Aero Club, the Aero Club de France, and the Aero Club of America. He taught himself to fly, and soloed without a single lesson, becoming the first Briton to hold an internationally recognized pilot's certificate. He opened the first British school of flying, and thereby became the pioneer instructor. Single - handed he developed ’ London Aerodrome ’ at Hendon.\u003cbr\u003eIn this full biography, the author tells of his exploits - how Grahame - White organized Britain's first air mail service; built and operated the world's first commercial air - liner; exhibited Britain's first military aircraft, and flew in the first great air raid of the 1914 - 18 War. At 37 he was a Commander in the Royal Naval Air Service, and Chairman of an important aircraft company. He became a national hero overnight after his historic London - to - Manchester air race against Paulhan in 1910, although he lost it. He also crossed the ocean and beat the Yankees at everything aeronautical in the famous Boston - Harvard Air Meeting. Despite Claude Grahame - White's unique contribution to world aviation he was never honoured, and no doubt his law - suit against the Government had much to do with this - particularly as he won it. His successful battle against ’ The Establishment ’ makes an inspiring story.

First to grasp the military importance of aircraft, the French laid the foundations of their air arm as early as 1909 and at the end of the First World War had the biggest air force in the world.\u003cbr\u003eCaught in 1940 with many modern types under development but too few in production and fewer still in service, the French Air Force was defeated by the superior numbers and performance of the Luftwaffe. French aircraft industry was taken over by the Germans and subsequently much of it was destroyed by allied bombing.

Duxford is a branch of the Imperial War Museum, housing many of the larger exhibits in the Museum's collection, including aircraft, land vehicules and maritime craft. I.W.M.

Visitors wishing to use these information sources should arrange access through Imperial War Museum London.\u003cbr\u003e( ... ) I.W.M. Duxford is therefore an exciting mix of old and new.

He became fascinated by balloons and at twenty - two was a carnival balloonist taking passengers aloft at so much a head. A student of wind currents and gases, he made elaborate plans to fly a balloon across the Atlantic and was making a test over land, coming down for fuel in South Carolina, just as the Civil War broke out. Because of his very apparent Yankee accent and his trange paraphernalia, he was nearly hanged on the spot as a spy.\u003cbr\u003eHe offerd his services to the Union Army and despite the skepticism of the generals about military balloons, Lowe gave a demonstration for President Lincoln. He even went so far to relay the first message by telegraph from aloft. Lincoln was so excited about the ballonn that he had its base installed on the White House lawn. In August of 1861 Lowe received the go - ahead to construct the first official military balloon for the U.S. Army.\u003cbr\u003e( ... ) For two years Thaddeus Lowe's balloons directed artillery, reported troop movements, revolutionized the science of gunnery through aerial reports.\u003cbr\u003e( ... ) But ill - luck struck when the Rebels were victorious at Chancellorsville, despite Lowe's accurate dispatches from his balloon perch. Discouraged by lack of recognition and sickened by the wholesale slaughter, the ’ most - shot - at - man ’ in the Civil War returned to his research and inventions,... ( ... ) When he died in 1913, at the age of 81, Thaddeus Lowe was at work on a giant telescope, still seeking further understanding of the universal heavens.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMary Eugenie Duprey ( December 8th, 1914 - December 7th, 2004 ) was born at Worcester ( Massachusetts, United States ). She attended public and private schools in Worcester and Noroton ( Connecticut ), Erskine Junior College in Boston and two years at Wheaton College in Norton ( Massachusetts ).\u003cbr\u003eShe had planned to attend the Sorbonne in Paris ( France ) as an exchange student during her junior year, but she left college to marry the writer and military historian Adolph August Hoehling ( 1914 - 2004 ), and settled in Washington, D.C. They have lived in various places : Corpus Christi ( Texas ), Lakehurst ( New Jersey ), Chicago ( Illinois ), Denver ( Colorado ) and New York City ( New York ).\u003cbr\u003eOver the years, she tried several careers, including writing and performing for a puppet theater in Connecticut during the early 1950's, and working as a real estate agent in the 1970's. However, Mary Hoehling is best known for writing history books inspired by her desire to make history interesting for her children and other young readers. Among these books are two written with her husband : The Last Voyage of the Lusitania ( 1956 ) and The Day Richmond Died ; or, The Last Days of Richmond as the Capital of the Confederacy ( 1980 ). Interested in the people behind history, she also wrote such work as Yankee in the White House : John Quincy Adams ( 1963 ).\u003cbr\u003eMary Hoehling died of a stroke in Venice ( Florida ), just one day before her 90th birthday.\u003cbr\u003e( sources : THADDEUS LOWE : AMERICA'S ONE - MAN AIR CORPS, encyclopedia.com, snaccooperative.org )\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"aviation.brussels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31552878280790,"sku":"1","price":50.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/products\/img-8117.jpg?v=1575942139"},{"product_id":"the-dream-machines-an-eye-witness-history-of-ballooning","title":"The Dream Machines : An eye - witness history of Ballooning","description":"\n                \u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left; background-color: #f7f8f9; padding: 20px; border-left: 4px solid #647382;\"\u003e\n                This magnificent book depicts the fantastic history of ballooning through drawings, engravings, paintings, photographs and picture photographs as well.\n                \u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003cbr\u003e\n                \u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 13px;\"\u003eCaractéristiques\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                \u003ctable class=\"table table-striped\"\u003e\n                    \u003ctbody\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-1\" data-attribute-id=\"1\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e35 x 25 x 3 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-2\" data-attribute-id=\"2\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNbr. de pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e180\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-3\" data-attribute-id=\"3\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eReliure collée\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-4\" data-attribute-id=\"4\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eParticularités\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJaquette légèrement abîmée\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-5\" data-attribute-id=\"5\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnnée d’édition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1972\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-6\" data-attribute-id=\"6\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLangue\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnglais\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-7\" data-attribute-id=\"7\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEtat du livre\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTrès bon état\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-8\" data-attribute-id=\"8\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuteur\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePeter Haining\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-9\" data-attribute-id=\"9\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEditeur \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNEW ENGLISH LIBRARY\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n                \u003c\/table\u003e\n                \u003cbr\u003e\n                \u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 13px;\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n                Aviation book\u003cbr\u003eThe Balloon first carried man into the skies and although progress in the form of aeroplanes and, indeed, space rockets, has now passed it by, it still retains a grip on most people's imagination and fires a passion among a substantial number of enthusiasts who again ride the heavens.\u003cbr\u003e( ... ) The Dream Machines draws on material from the three nations most closely involved with the emergence and perfection of ballooning, France, Britain and America - but through the Editor's far - flung research ( many of the pictures and accounts herein are of considerable rarity and have not been generally available for many years ) we get glimpses, too, of what was happening elsewhere in the world. It is a story of progress and experiment, of drama, excitement, pathos and even death.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeter Alexander Haining ( April 2nd, 1940 - November 19th, 2007 ) was born in Enfield ( Middlesex, England ). He began his career as a reporter in Essex and then moved to London where he worked on a trade magazine before joining the publishing house of New English Library in 1963.\u003cbr\u003ePeter A. Haining achieved the position of Editorial Director before becoming a full - time writer in the early 1970's. He edited a large number of anthologies, predominantly of horror and fantasy short stories, wrote non - fiction books on a variety of topics from the Channel Tunnel to Sweeney Todd and also used the pen names ’ Ric Alexander ’ and ’ Richard Peyton ’ on a number of crime story anthologies.\u003cbr\u003eIn the 1970's he wrote three novels, including The Hero ( 1973 ), which was optioned for filming. In two controversial books, Peter A. Haining argued that Sweeney Todd was a real historical figure who committed his crimes around 1800, was tried in December 1801, and was hanged in January 1802. However, other researchers who have tried to verify his citations find nothing in these sources to back Haining's claims. Strong reservations have also been expressed regarding the reliability of another of Haining's influential non - fiction works, The Legend and Bizarre Crimes of Spring Heeled Jack. He wrote several reference books on the BBC TV programme Doctor Who, including the 20th anniversary special Doctor Who : A Celebration Two Decades Through Time and Space ( 1983 ), and also wrote the definitive study of Sherlock Holmes on the screen, The Television Sherlock Holmes ( 1991 ) and several other television tie - ins featuring famous literary characters, including Maigret, Poirot, Dr. Finlay and James Bond.\u003cbr\u003ePeter A.

The idea of this Encyclopædia was conceived many years ago, but the development of aviation generally has been so rapid during the past few years and events have moved so swiftly that it was considered inadvisable to produce a work of this magnitude until many important issues had been clarified. That position has now been reached and we are confident that in presenting the facts, ancient and modern, in a form that will make them readily understood and more easily accessible the success of this Encyclopædia is assured.\u003cbr\u003e( ... ) We have endeavoured to cater for everyone interested or engaged in Aviation - the boy and girl ; the young student ; the air traveller and the user of air transport ; air - transport operators and their staffs ; manufacturers and their staffs ; commercial pilots ; private owners ; ground engineers ; airport and aerodrome staffs ; Air Force personnel ; and all those who are connected by profession with, or are merely interested in, some aspect or other of aviation. Our task at first seemed an insuperable one, but we are confident that in the main we have achieved success, and that all who come into possession of this volume will find most, and we hope all, of what they require.

( May 10th, 1893 - 1975 ) was an early, if not the first, Adjutant to R.A.F. Cranwell College, a onetime personal assistant to Marshal of the Royal Air Force Lord Hugh Montague Trenchard G.C.B., O.M., G.C.V.O., D.S.O. ( 1873 - 1956 ), and the ’ exciting and friendly uncle ’ who actively encouraged the legless Ace Group Captain Sir Douglas Robert Steuart Bader C.B.E., D.S.O. \u0026amp; Bar, D.F.C. \u0026amp; Bar, D.L., F.R.Ae.S. ( 1910 - 1982 ) to set out on his legendary career.\u003cbr\u003eThe son of a J.P. for the Cinque Ports, Cyril G. Burge was educated at St Lawrence College ( Kent, England ) and Sandhurst ( Berkshire, England ). Described as a natural ’ gentleman, leader \u0026amp; organiser ’, he was commissioned into the York and Lancaster Regiment in 1913 and was posted to the Overseas Battalion in India. Promoted Lieutenant on October 28th, 1914, he joined the Royal Flying Corps in November 1915 and reportedly first flew as an Observer with No. 12 Squadron. Later he trained as a pilot, and according to Douglas R.S. Bader’s biographer Wing Commander Percy Belgrave ’ Laddie ’ Lucas C.B.E., D.S.O. \u0026amp; Bar, D.F.C. ( 1915 - 1998 ), saw ’ much of the fighting with the Royal Flying Corps over France and Flanders ’.\u003cbr\u003eBy February 1918 he had accumulated 450 flying hours, and reportedly commanded No. 100 Squadron. In August 1919 he was granted a Permanent Commission in the R.A.F. with the rank of Lieutenant and was subsequently appointed Adjutant at the former R.N.A.S. Air Station west of Sleaford in Lincolnshire where the elite officer cadre of the fledgling service was to be trained. Meantime, he married Hazel McKenzie, sister to Douglas R.S. Bader’s mother.\u003cbr\u003eIn the spring of 1921 the boy Bader was invited by the Burges to spend part of the Easter holidays with them at Cranwell. ’ From Hazel and Cyril the welcome was warm. Only just thirteen, Douglas had never been near aeroplanes before, and when the quiet, good - humoured Cyril sat him in the cockpit of an Avro 504 trainer the thick hair almost vanished as the boy bent over the controls and dials like a terrier. Later he stood for hours in Cyril’s garden watching the bellowing Avros taking off over his head ... Cyril thought he had a convert then but he was a little premature ... ’ \u003cbr\u003eFive years later at St. Edward’s School in Oxford, Douglas R.S. Bader was cautiously considering a university career when the visit of an Old Boy then at Cranwell, reminded Bader of his enjoyable stay there, and he wrote at once to ’ Uncle Cyril ’ to find out about becoming a Cranwell cadet. Cyril G. Burge had left the R.A.F. College but was then personal assistant to Air Chief Marshal Sir Hugh Trenchard, Chief of the Air Staff, and ’ with the satisfaction of a match - maker, Cyril wrote back saying that Douglas was just the type they wanted and he would do everything he could to help which from the p.a. to the C.A.S., sounded considerable. ’ Well primed by Cyril G. Burge, Douglas R.S. Bader duly presented himself before the board of interviewers for Cranwell at Burlington House in London in June 1928, and, ’ trying not to sound to well rehearsed ’, successfully gave the answers ’ Uncle Cyril ’ knew the board wanted to hear.\u003cbr\u003eThe following December, Cyril G. Burge retired from the service with a gratuity and over the next few years wrote several published works on British aviation.\u003cbr\u003eFollowing Douglas R.S. Bader’s famous crash at Woodley Aerodrome, near Reading, on December 14th, 1931, Cyril G. Burge was immediately summoned from nearby Aldershot. He reached the Royal Berkshire Hospital to find that the surgeon Leonard Joyce had removed Douglas R.S. Bader’s right leg and that his nephew’s life was hanging in the balance. Cyril G. Burge was given a room for the night, and twice when it seemed that Bader was dying was called to the patient’s room but on each occasion Douglas R.S. Bader rallied.\u003cbr\u003eIn the morning, his nephew was still alive but had not recovered consciousness since the amputation of his largely severed right leg. Joyce told Cyril G. Burge that if Douglas lasted another day he might have a chance provided the left leg did not become sceptic. At length Bader came round, and, examining him, Leonard Joyce recognised signs of incipient septicaeima in the left leg. With Douglas’s mother close to hysteria and with no time to lose, the surgeon sought Cyril G. Burge’s permission to cut off the remaining leg, warning him that his nephew would certainly die if the leg stayed, and that he would probably die from operative shock if they tried to take it off. It was the only chance and Cyril G. Burge instantly nodded his assent.\u003cbr\u003eSquadron Leader Cyril G. Burge representing the Air Targets Sub - Committee of Aerial Intelligence reported that the amount of water consumed in the whole of Germany was only three times that of the Ruhr and that the bulk of it was obtained from one large reservoir contained by a single large dam known as the Möhne Dam. He added that there were also four or five other reservoirs in Germany which fed the inland waterways. The destruction of which was likely to leave the waterways high and dry which would severely effect the German transportation system. It also seemed reasonable to believe that the damage caused would be extremely difficult to put right.\u003cbr\u003e( sources : The Aviation Forum, dnw.co.uk, Wikipedia )\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"aviation.brussels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31552887128150,"sku":"1","price":80.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/products\/img-7423_79228dac-6cae-4927-b3e6-4c8eed9c2778.jpg?v=1575942290"},{"product_id":"great-moments-in-aviation","title":"GREAT MOMENTS IN AVIATION","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left; background-color: #f7f8f9; padding: 20px; border-left: 4px solid #647382;\"\u003eThis fine book, which contains photographs and some illustrations, shows some of the great moments - from the American point of view - in aviation throughout History.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 13px;\"\u003eCaractéristiques\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-striped\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-1\" data-attribute-id=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e30 x 28 x 2 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-2\" data-attribute-id=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNbr. de pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e80\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-3\" data-attribute-id=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCartonné\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-4\" data-attribute-id=\"4\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eParticularités\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJaquette légèrement abîmée\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-5\" data-attribute-id=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnnée d’édition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1989\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-6\" data-attribute-id=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLangue\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnglais\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-7\" data-attribute-id=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEtat du livre\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTrès bon état\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-8\" data-attribute-id=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuteur\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMichael J.H.

Tales and legends dealt with the theme even before christ was born, as the legend of Daedalus and Icarus proves.\u003cbr\u003eAt first various inventors tried to fly with machines that were heavier than air. Only toward the end of the 18th Century did the Montgolfier brothers in France get the idea of rising into the air with the help of a hot - air balloon. On July 5, 1783 the first ascension of such a balloon took place, and thus ’ lighter - than - air aviation ’ was born.\u003cbr\u003eThe Montgolfier brothers were laymen, inspired only by their idea.\u003cbr\u003eExtract from page No. 3.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeinz Joachim Nowarra ( December 24th, 1912 - November 4th, 1992 ) was born in Berlin ( Germany ). He attended from 1919 to 1928 the Treitschke - school in Berlin - Wilmersdorf and completed afterwards an apprenticeship as an assistant. From 1930 to the end of 1933, he was unemployed and then worked as an office clerk and cashier until January 1936. Until 1940, he worked as a warehouse accountant and appointment processor at Siemens - Schuckertwerke.\u003cbr\u003eFrom 1941 to mid - 1942, he worked for the Gesellschaft für Luftfahrtbedarf in Berlin in the spare parts management for the Bf 109 ( from January 1942 ), also for the Ju 88. From mid - 1942, he was assigned in the same function to the Junkers Flugzeug - und Motorenwerke, Leipzig shipyard, where he was later also responsible for the Ju 188.\u003cbr\u003eAfter 1945, Heinz J. Nowarra exercised various professions in Berlin until he moved to Harreshausen ( Hesse, germany ) in June 1968. Until the end of 1977, he worked in the department ’ Market Research and Traffic Development ’ at Frankfurt Airport, where he was responsible for the internal information service and the archive. He retired in 1978.\u003cbr\u003eHeinz J. Nowarra had made a name for himself as an author on aviation topics since 1958. He wrote his first major publication together with the American air force officer Kimbrough S. Brown for the British special publisher Harleyford about the German fighter pilot Manfred von Richthofen under the title Von Richthofen and the Flying Circus. He published about 75 books and brochures plus about 34 articles in professional journals, about one third of which in English. Among them were editions of the Groschenheft series Fliegergeschichten and Der Landser. Heinz J. Nowarra also collected pictures and photographs on the subject of aviation.\u003cbr\u003eAfter 1945, the secretary of the pilot veteran organization Alte Adler, Willi Hackenberger, and the German Air Force General Alfred Keller helped him most of all.\u003cbr\u003eAt the time of his death, Nowarra's collection is said to have comprised some 38,000 pictures.

Issu d'une famille juive de Bordeaux, il a débuté dans les affaires et les affaires de presse dès la monarchie de Juillet ( 1830 - 1848 ) avec des publications financières ou judiciaires. Il confie la direction et la gestion du Petit Journal à son neveu Alphonse ( né le 11 juin 1829 à Mouriès ), fils de son frère Joseph. Le Petit Journal attire de nombreux lecteurs car le passage de l'impression ’ à la feuille ’ à l'impression en rotative lui permet d'être bon marché : il ne coûte que 5 centimes au lieu de 15 centimes pour les journaux ordinaires. Il a un format commode ( 43 × 30 cm ), plus petit que ses concurrents ( d'où son nom ), est accessible à tous ( pas d'abonnement ) et propose, à côté de l'information nationale et internationale, un contenu distrayant comprenant fait divers, feuilletons, horoscopes et chroniques.\u003cbr\u003eLe Petit Journal se déclarant apolitique - même si ce n'est pas tout à fait le cas - il est dispensé du timbre. Il s'agit, en outre, d'un journal du soir, vendu par des crieurs à la sortie des usines et des ateliers. Il est l'emblème d'une nouvelle forme de journalisme qui se développe, celle de la petite presse. Le premier numéro sort le 1er février 1863 et, dès octobre, dépasse, avec 83.000 exemplaires, le plus fort tirage des journaux ’ sérieux ’ ( comme Le Siècle, qui tire à 50.000 exemplaires ). Deux ans plus tard, à lui seul, le tirage du Petit Journal, avec 259.000 exemplaires, est supérieur à celui de l'ensemble de la presse parisienne.\u003cbr\u003eEn 1870, il atteint 340.000 exemplaires, soit le double du tirage de la presse parisienne. En février 1864, la famille Millaud lance Le Journal illustré ( publication dominicale ), vendu 10 centimes, qui, en 1890, se trouve concurrencé par le supplément illustré du Petit Journal. Les Millaud se retrouvent, ensuite, face à des difficultés financières et revendent leur groupe, en 1873, à Émile de Girardin ( lequel est associé à Hippolyte Marinoni, Eugène Gibiat et Charles Jenty ). En 1882, Marinoni prend le contrôle du journal, succédant à Girardin.\u003cbr\u003eDès 1884, le 15 juin, paraît le Supplément illustré hebdomadaire - d'abord sous - titré Supplément du dimanche puis Supplément littéraire - du journal, pour lequel une innovation est apportée : l'illustration couleur. Ce supplément est finalement nommé Le Petit Journal supplément illustré. Le tirage du Supplément atteint un million d'exemplaires en 1895. Malgré quelques crises, l'audience du journal ne cesse d'augmenter, et aucun de ses concurrents ne peut mettre sa suprématie en cause ; son tirage atteint 500.000 exemplaires en 1878, 1 million en 1890 et certainement autour de deux millions en 1895 ( date à laquelle il devient le journal avec le plus haut tirage au monde ). Le Petit Journal est alors l'un des trois principaux journaux français. Ce journal de presse populaire expédie 80 % de son tirage en province.\u003cbr\u003eAprès 1900, les tirages commencent à stagner, puis à décroître. Durant l'affaire Dreyfus, Ernest Judet ( 1851 - 1943 ) place Le Petit Journal dans le parti antidreyfusard et le rallie à la cause nationaliste. En 1914, Le Petit Journal ne tire plus qu'à 850.000 exemplaires, et son tirage baisse jusqu'à 400.000 en 1919. Après la guerre, une bonne partie de ses lecteurs, déconcertés ou choqués par l'engagement du journal dans le parti antidreyfusard, sont alors passés à la lecture d'un concurrent qui franchit la barre des deux millions d'exemplaires et devient le roi de la petite presse : Le Petit Parisien.\u003cbr\u003eLe déclin s'accentua dans l'entre - deux - guerres. En 1937, il ne tirait plus qu'à 150.000 exemplaires, quand il devint, le 14 juillet, l'organe du Parti social français ( P.S.F. ) du colonel François de La Rocque ( 1885 - 1946 ). Malheureusement, son audience ne s'en trouva pas améliorée. Replié à Clermont - Ferrand en juin 1940, Le Petit Journal y vécut, médiocrement, jusqu'au mois d'août 1944 où il disparaît complètement.\u003cbr\u003eJugés, en 1948, par la Cour de justice de la Seine, pour avoir continué à paraître sous l'Occupation et sous l'accusation d'intelligence avec l'ennemi, François de La Rocque ( président, jugé par contumace ) et André Portier ( vice - président du conseil d'administration ) seront, finalement, acquittés.\u003cbr\u003eCe magnifique exemplaire, presque intacte, du Petit Journal supplément illustré est daté du dimanche 31 décembre 1911. Voici, dans son intégralité, le texte explicatif concernant la gravure en couverture :\u003cbr\u003eAU SALON D'AVIATION \u003cbr\u003eLa foule devant l'aéroplane du ’ Petit Journal ’ \u003cbr\u003eCe n'est pas aux lecteurs du Petit Journal qu'il faut rappeler le magnifique exploit, accompli en septembre dernier, par notre collaborateur René Lebaut et le sapeur Brégi.\u003cbr\u003eDébarqués à Casablanca, sur la côte atlantique du Maroc, ils montèrent le merveilleux aéroplane construit par l'ingénieur Bréguet et prirent leur vol vers Fez. Ils suivirent d'abord la côte jusqu'à Rabat, puis, de ce point, ils s'élancèrent hardiment au - dessus de ce pays encore à demi - hostile. En route, ils essuyèrent des coups de feu tirés par les Marocains. Au - dessus de Méquinès, ils faillirent, par suite du manque de carburant, tomber de 1.500 mètres d'altitude. Ils parvinrent enfin dans la capitale du Moulay Hafid et furent salués par la colonie européenne, enthousiasmée de l'audace des deux hardis pilotes.\u003cbr\u003eC'était la première fois qu'un aéroplane volait au - dessus de ce pays qui, demain, sera français. Après avoir été à la peine, il est bien juste que ce splendide appareil soit à l'honneur et la foule se presse, au salon de l'aviation, pour l'admirer.\u003cbr\u003e( sources : Wikipédia, Le Petit Journal supplément illustré N° 1.102 )\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"aviation.brussels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31552928481366,"sku":"1","price":100.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/products\/img-8924_19e4e139-13ba-432c-bcfe-7f67b6465e0a.jpg?v=1575982434"},{"product_id":"the-smithsonian-book-of-flight","title":"THE SMITHSONIAN BOOK OF FLIGHT","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left; background-color: #f7f8f9; padding: 20px; border-left: 4px solid #647382;\"\u003eThis is a amazing book - magnificently illustrated with paintings, photographs, advertising and propaganda posters - that shows the wonderful world of aviation from the beginning to the late 1980's.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 13px;\"\u003eCaractéristiques\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-striped\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-1\" data-attribute-id=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e29 x 25 x 3 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-2\" data-attribute-id=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNbr. de pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e288\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-3\" data-attribute-id=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCartonné\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-4\" data-attribute-id=\"4\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eParticularités\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJaquette \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-5\" data-attribute-id=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnnée d’édition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1987\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-6\" data-attribute-id=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLangue\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnglais\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-7\" data-attribute-id=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEtat du livre\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNeuf\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-8\" data-attribute-id=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuteur\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWalter J.

Dropped from the cut - away fuselage of a B - 29 at 36,000 feet, the Skyrocket, powered by four rockets burning a ton of liquid oxygen and alcohol a minute, could reach supersonic speed in 30 seconds in a breathless climb. It was the unknown region beyond the speed of sound which she had been built to survey, and to Bridgeman had fallen the job of exploring this frightening new world. The story of his day - by - day life with the plane, of his gradual mastery of the intricacies of flying by rocket power and the complexities of controlling it at speeds never before experienced by man, form the substance of this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWilliam Barton ’ Bill ’ Bridgeman ( 1916 - September 29th, 1968 ) was born in Iowa ( United States ). His father was a barnstormer and separated from his mother shortly after he was born. He was raised in Malibu ( California, United States ) by his paternal grandmother and majored in geology in college. He enlisted in the United States Navy to attend flight school at Pensacola. He graduated and was commissioned in 1941, and was sent to Pearl Harbor, where he experienced the Japanese attack on December 7th, 1941. He flew Consolidated PBY Catalinas in the New Guinea \/ Australia sector, then four - engined Consolidated PB4Y - 2 Privateer patrol bombers on a tour of operations with VP \/ VPB - 109 ( the ’ Reluctant Raiders ’ ).\u003cbr\u003eHe was reassigned afterwards to training activities stateside from August 1944 until the end of the war, then spent two years flying transport missions from Pearl Harbor to the West Coast. Upon leaving the Navy in 1947, William B. Bridgeman joined Southwest Airways ( a local West Coast airline that eventually became Pacific Air Lines, not to be confused with today's Southwest ) to fly Douglas DC - 3's on the San Francisco - Seattle route. Bored with the airline routine, he left in 1949 to join Douglas as a production test pilot to certify A - 1 Skyraiders off the assembly line before their delivery to the Navy.\u003cbr\u003eA few months later, he accepted an offer to take over the test program of the Douglas D - 558 II Skyrocket, one of the world's first supersonic research aircraft. William B. Bridgeman converted to jet aircraft on the F - 80 in early 1950 and eventually conducted a very successful test program with the Skyrocket, collecting data on the behavior of swept - wing aircraft over a wide envelope of load factors and Mach numbers deep in the supersonic range. In May 1951, he broke the world speed record, achieving a speed of Mach 1.72, then broke the record again, reaching Mach 1.88 ( 1.245 mph : 1.992 km\/h ) the next month. Immediately afterwards, he broke the world altitude record with 79.494 ft ( 24,230 m ) on the Skyrocket's final flight before delivery to N.A.C.A. During this campaign, William B. Bridgeman was one of the first pilots to encounter the phenomenon of inertia coupling, a flight hazard that would dominate high - speed aircraft research for much of the 1950's.\u003cbr\u003eHe was on the cover of the April 27th, 1953, issue of Time magazine. He went on to fly other Douglas test programs including the X - 3 Stiletto, a promising but ultimately unsuccessful design. In 1955, he recounted his experiences test - flying the Skyraider and Skyrocket in a successful memoir, The Lonely Sky, written with Jacqueline Hazard, whom he married shortly after the book was published. He was an astronaut candidate for the United States Air Force Man In Space Soonest program, but the program was cancelled on August 1st, 1958, and replaced by N.A.S.A.'s Project Mercury.\u003cbr\u003eWilliam B. Bridgeman eventually moved to Grumman Aircraft where he conducted test programs of commercial aircraft, then pursued a career in commercial real estate. In September 1968, he was the pilot of a routine air - taxi flight from Los Angeles to Santa Catalina Island when his Grumman Goose amphibian went down in the Pacific Ocean. His body was never found.\u003cbr\u003e( source : Wikipedia )\u003cbr\u003eJacqueline ’ Jackie ’ Hazard ( June 21st, 1924 - January 27th, 2015 ) was born in Los Angeles ( California, United States ). She was the youngest daughter of System Parking Mogul Jack Hazard. Growing up, she attended Westlake School for girls and later took a series of exchange graduate courses at Oxford University ( England ). Developing a career in journalism, Jackie wrote for the Palisades Post in Pacific Palisades ( California ) where she would eventually come to interview world famous American test pilot William Barton ’ Bill ’ Bridgeman who broke aviation speed and altitude records while working for Douglas Aircraft.\u003cbr\u003eIn 1951, Bridgeman's employer announced that he had piloted their Douglas D - 558 II Skyrocket to ’ the highest speed and altitude record attained to that time ’, landing him on the cover of Time Magazine. This led to the interview and article by ’ Jackie ’, which the two developed and co - authored into the Memoir, The Lonely Sky, originally published by Harper and Sons. Shortly after the release of their book, Ms. Hazard and Mr. Bridgeman married, eventually settling in Malibu ( California ). After her husband's death, ’ Jackie ’ and their son Christopher later purchased Hazard Ranch in Serra Retreat from her father's estate and continued her interest in literature and patronage of the arts.\u003cbr\u003eHer love of theatre was brought into full force in 1990 when she personally funded and co - founded the Malibu Stage Company with Director and Theatre Critic Charles Marowitz. In addition, ’ Jackie ’ was known as a generous contributor to individuals in need as well as those trying to further their career or education. A tireless traveler, ’ Jackie ’ visited nearly every corner of the globe, whether accompanied by her son Christopher, with friends or alone she was always up for an adventure.\u003cbr\u003ePrior to stepping down from the Malibu Stage Company in 2008, Mrs. Bridgeman received a number of awards over the years, including the prestigious Dolphin Award sponsored by the Malibu Times for her contributions to the Malibu community where she had lived and worked for the last sixty years of her life.\u003cbr\u003e( source : Legacy.com - Los Angeles Times )\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"aviation.brussels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31552941949014,"sku":"1","price":45.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/products\/img-5820_d054108a-0627-490a-83b5-799e48599471.jpg?v=1575942928"},{"product_id":"histoire-de-laviation-racontee-a-la-jeunesse","title":"Histoire de l'AVIATION racontée à la jeunesse","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left; background-color: #f7f8f9; padding: 20px; border-left: 4px solid #647382;\"\u003eCe livre pour la jeunesse, lequel comprend de nombreuses illustrations, va vous faire voyager dans les airs et à travers le temps pour atteindre le monde merveilleux de l'aviation.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 13px;\"\u003eCaractéristiques\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-striped\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-1\" data-attribute-id=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e31 x 26 x 0,5 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-2\" data-attribute-id=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNbr. de pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e57\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-3\" data-attribute-id=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCartonné\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-4\" data-attribute-id=\"4\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnnée d’édition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1947\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-5\" data-attribute-id=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLangue\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrançais\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-6\" data-attribute-id=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEtat du livre\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUn peu abîmé \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-7\" data-attribute-id=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAuteur\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePaluel - Marmont\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-8\" data-attribute-id=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCollection \/ Série\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMERVEILLES\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-9\" data-attribute-id=\"9\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEditeur \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLIBRAIRIE GRÜND\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 13px;\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e… de même les ballons ont - ils vu naître, grandir et prendre finalement possession du ciel un concurrent dont les hardiesses s'affirment chaque jour plus victorieuses : l'Avion.

The first balloons of the eighteenth century evolved into tentative dirigibles during the nineteenth. The first airships had fabric envelopes like balloons and kept their shape from the pressure of the contained gas. Rigid airships, which had their lifting gas contained in numerous cells enclosed within a framework, were the only type which might have successfully competed with aeroplanes.\u003cbr\u003eThis book describes and illustrates in great detail some of the most significant types of airship. The story is a fascinating case history in the advance of technology and provides many examples of the diverse and often unexpected factors which govern research and development in a new field. Although unfortunate, the history of the airship also contains some relevant lessons for future development programmes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePeter W.

His recounting of experiments with hydrogen balloons and dirigibles arouses humor one moment and amazement the next in the depictions of courageous, if not fool-hardy, young aviators. Underlying the adventure of daring races and the romantic gestures, such as his planned honeymoon trip in a balloon from Barcelona to Paris, is a detailed recollection of the scientific debates of aviation's early history. Herrera applied his trainning as an engineer to anything airborne: balloons, biplanes and other early aircraft, dirigibles, helicopters, the atomic and hydrogen bombs, and satellites. His professional career placed him in the mainstream of scientific investigation of the principles of flight, and he consulted with such major figures as Albert Einstein and Sir Arthur Eddington. Yet it is Herrera the adventurer, the fearless and brilliant scientist with an unfailing sense of humor, that comes through as narrator in the memoirs.\u003cbr\u003eReaders interested in ballooning and flying will be captivated by the personality and adventures of Herrera. The accompanying essay by Thomas F. Glick locates the events depicted in their historical and scientific context. Elizabeth Ladd's translation preserves Herrera's understand ironic wit.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"aviation.brussels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31553041170518,"sku":"1","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/products\/img-3748_528a9f3f-9efc-4161-844d-930cecca24f3.jpg?v=1575944302"},{"product_id":"les-conquerants-du-ciel-orville-et-wilbur-wright","title":"LES CONQUERANTS DU CIEL ORVILLE ET WILBUR WRIGHT","description":"\n                \u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left; background-color: #f7f8f9; padding: 20px; border-left: 4px solid #647382;\"\u003e\n                Les frères Orville Wright (19 août 1871 - 30 janvier 1948) et Wilbur Wright (16 avril 1867 - 30 mai 1912) sont deux célèbres pionniers américains de l'aviation, à la fois chercheurs, ingénieurs, concepteurs, constructeurs et pilotes.\n                \u003c\/div\u003e\n                \u003cbr\u003e\n                \u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 13px;\"\u003eCaractéristiques\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                \u003ctable class=\"table table-striped\"\u003e\n                    \u003ctbody\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-1\" data-attribute-id=\"1\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFormat\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e17 x 11 x 1 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-2\" data-attribute-id=\"2\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNbr. de pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e141\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-3\" data-attribute-id=\"3\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFinition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBroché\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-4\" data-attribute-id=\"4\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAnnée d’édition\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1960\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-5\" data-attribute-id=\"5\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLangue\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFrançais\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-6\" data-attribute-id=\"6\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEtat du livre\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUn peu abîmé \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e  \n            \u003ctr class=\"item-7\" data-attribute-id=\"7\"\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEditeur \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n                \u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNOUVEAUX HORIZONS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n            \u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n                \u003c\/table\u003e\n                \u003cbr\u003e\n                \u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 13px;\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\n                (from Wikipedia)\u003cbr\u003eLes frères Orville Wright (19 août 1871 - 30 janvier 1948) et Wilbur Wright (16 avril 1867 - 30 mai 1912) sont deux célèbres pionniers américains de l'aviation, à la fois chercheurs, ingénieurs, concepteurs, constructeurs et pilotes.Après de nombreux vols sur planeurs entre 1900 et 1902, ils effectuent fin 1903 leur premier vol motorisé.Les frères Wright se sont distingués de leurs prédécesseurs et de leurs contemporains par leur approche analytique et expérimentale du problème. Leur contribution essentielle sera d'avoir correctement analysé la mécanique de vol du virage et d'avoir réalisé, en 1902, les premiers vols contrôlés grâce au couplage de la gouverne de direction et du gauchissement (obtenu par vrillage) des ailes. Maîtrisant le pilotage, ils effectuent en 1905 les premiers vols pouvant être qualifiés de « contrôlés », de longue durée, avec des virages inclinés et non dérapés.Cependant, leur obsession du secret autour de leurs machines et de leurs capacités à réaliser un vol motorisé contrôlé (qu'ils maintiendront presque totalement jusqu'à l'obtention de brevet d'invention en 1905) entraînera un scepticisme général, en particulier en Europe, quand ils commenceront à communiquer en 1905 tout en exigeant un contrat commercial ferme avant toute démonstration. Cela explique le décalage de plusieurs années entre les premiers vols contrôlés de 1905, à l'écart de tout spectateur dans les dunes de Caroline du Nord, et les vols publics de 1908 où leur maîtrise du pilotage sera reconnue.Consacrant leur énergie à protéger leur invention et à des luttes de brevets, ils ne remettent pas en cause la configuration atypique de leur machine (configuration canard, pas d'ailerons, pas de roues, hélices à l'arrière), qui est obsolète en 1910 et ne sera pas poursuivie.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"aviation.brussels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31553046380630,"sku":"1","price":10.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/products\/img-3760.jpg?v=1575944318"},{"product_id":"ein-himmel-voller-abenteuer-fluge-im-grenzbereich","title":"EIN HIMMEL VOLLER ABENTEUER – FLÜGE IM GRENZBEREICH","description":"\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left; background-color: #f7f8f9; padding: 20px; border-left: 4px solid #647382;\"\u003eDieses Buch umspannt insgesamt den ganzen Zeitraum der Luftfahrt von den Männern in den fliegenden Kisten bis zur ersten Mondumrundung.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 13px;\"\u003eCharacteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable class=\"table table-striped\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-1\" data-attribute-id=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSize\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e15,8 x 23,5 x 2 cm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-2\" data-attribute-id=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNbr. of pages\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e173\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-3\" data-attribute-id=\"3\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eBook cover finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHardcover ( square back binding )\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-4\" data-attribute-id=\"4\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSpecial feature(s)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eDust jacket\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-5\" data-attribute-id=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003ePublished date\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003e1971\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-6\" data-attribute-id=\"6\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLanguage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDeutsch\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-7\" data-attribute-id=\"7\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eConditions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSecond hand - G\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr class=\"item-8\" data-attribute-id=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEditor \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMotor buch Verlag\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"margin-bottom: 13px;\"\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eDieses Buch umspannt insgesamt den ganzen Zeitraum der Luftfahrt von den Männern in den fliegenden Kisten bis zur ersten Mondumrundung.

A leading pilot of the British Empire in the days when long-distance aviators were first linking the countries of the world, Squadron Leader Herbert J.L. Hinkler disappeared in 1933 while on a solo flight from England to Australia. His body and the wreckage were later discovererd in the Tuscan mountains of Italy. The reason for the crash, however, has remained a mystery – until today. In this book Wixted draws us into the secret life of Bert Hinkler, in the process revealing the discrepancies between opinions and facts – and we see why this story can only now be told.\u003cbr\u003eEdward P. Wixted was born in Queensland, Australia in 1927. Throughout his life he has sustained an interest in the early days of aviation. Wixted was the driving force in the recovery from the Algerian Sahara of one of the planes of Sir Charles Kingsford Smith, the first man to fly across the Pacific from the United States to Australia, and hs led an expedition to Burma to search for Smith and the aircraft in which he disapeared in 1935.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"aviation.brussels","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31553082458198,"sku":"1","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/3015\/9446\/products\/img-2498.jpg?v=1575944776"}],"url":"https:\/\/aviation.brussels\/collections\/all.oembed?page=104","provider":"aviation.brussels","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
