Extractions: A History of Coast Guard Aviation The Growth Years (1939-1955) The Coast Guard was transferred to the Navy Department by executive order 8929 on November 1, 1941. In actuality, certain units of the Coast Guard had been under Naval control for some time. Congress had passed the Neutrality Act on November 4, 1939. This legislation was designed to preserve the neutrality of the United States and made it unlawful for any US vessel to carry material or passengers to any designated belligerent State. Coast Guard aircraft and vessels were used to enforce this act. In April of 1941 an agreement was signed with Denmark for the protection of Greenland. Cutter based aircraft played an important part in this operation. The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941 and by December 11 a state of war existed with both Japan and Germany. The Coast Guard had a series of coastal air stations ideally suited for anti submarine patrol. They were located at Port Angeles, Washington; San Francisco, California; San Diego, California; Biloxi, Mississippi; St. Petersburg, Florida; Miami, Florida; Elizabeth City, North Carolina; Brooklyn, New York; and Salem, Massachusetts. The problem was lack of aircraft. There were a total of 50 aircraft, none of which were armed. It would be 1943 before the Coast Guard acquired aircraft that could be considered combat capable. Nevertheless, the existing aircraft were armed to the limit of their capabilities and patrols commenced. Coast Guard aircraft delivered 61 bombing attacks on enemy submarines during World War II.

http://uscgaviationhistory.aoptero.org/history01.html

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

Extractions: The Hon. Dr. Brendan Nelson, MP Aviation history as Global Hawk completes US-Australia flight Dr Brendan Nelson, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Defence said this was a historic moment in world aviation. "Emerging systems such as Global Hawk offer Australia great potential for surveillance, reconnaissance and ultimately the delivery of combat power," Dr Nelson said. This collaboration between Australia and the United States benefits both countries. It allows Australian scientists to contribute to leading edge UAV technology while assessing the potential value of Global Hawk for the protection of Australian territory and maritime approaches. "UAVs such as Global Hawk might offer significant potential to fundamentally change the force structure of the ADF," WGCDR Newell said. "This cooperative effort between Australia and the United States gives our countries a great opportunity for the continued development of the Global Hawk System," COL Johnson said.

Through all of recorded history aspects of this desire have surfaced from time to time. The most well known is the legendary story of Daedalus The European research project DAEDALUS (2000-2002) dealt with the "validation of software components embedded in future generation critical concurrent systems by exhaustive semantic-based static analysis and abstract testing methods based on abstract interpretation". Applications included the static analysis of multi-threaded computer programs, for which a programming tool that checks for the absence of programming errors was provided.

Daedalus contrived to make his escape from his prison, but could not leave the island by sea, as the king kept strict watch on all the vessels, and permitted none to sail without being carefully searched. "Minos may control the land and sea," said Daedalus, "but

Extractions: QUESTION: Who invented the black box flight recorder? How did the idea come about? What was the first country to make both flight data and cockpit voice recording mandatory? He then decided that a demonstration unit would be helpful in supporting his case. Working with Mr. T. Mirfield, an Instrument Engineer, they designed and built the first black box, using steel wire as the recording medium, which could continually store up to four hours of speech, prior to any accident, as well as flight instrument readings. The device was tested and successfully demonstrated; however, the response from the aviation community in Australia continued to be far from encouraging. Interest in Australia didnt take off until 1960, when a Fokker Friendship mysteriously crashed in Mackay Queensland. The inquiry judge ordered that all Australian airliners should carry recorders for pilot speech from January 1963. Delays in development were encountered, however, and the order wasnt carried out until 1967, at which time AUSTRALIA become the first country to make both flight data and cockpit voice recording mandatory.

Extractions: QUESTION: What was the first plane in North America to use ailerons? What group was responsible for designing it? ANSWER: The White Wing was the first plane in North American to have ailerons. It had three wheels and was designed with hinged wing flapsailerons ("little wings" in French). The flaps worked together, controlled by wires attached to the pilot's harness. When the plane's wings tipped one way, the pilot leaned the other way, pulling the flaps, and leveling the plane. The Aerial Experiment Association (AEA) sponsored the development of the White Wing. The six-member Aerial Experiment Association was established in September of 1907 by Alexander Graham Bell (inventor of the telephone). The AEA consisted of several aviation enthusiasts Bell brought together to build a practical airplane using $20,000 that Grahams wife, Mabel, contributed toward the effort. The White Wing was designed by AEA member, Casey Baldwin. The White Wing was the second airplane the group developed, the first being the Red Wing.

Extractions: Major Events in Coast Guard Aviation History 17 December: Life-Saving Service personnel from Kill Devil Hills Life-Saving Station helped carry materials to the launch site for the first successful heavier-than-air aircraft flight by the Wright Brothers at Kitty Hawk, NC. 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. He piloted one of two HS-1 seaplanes that attempted to bomb and machine gun a surfaced U-boat off the coast of New England. The bombs failed to explode, however, and the U-boat escaped.

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."

As Wyoming joined the nation in celebrating the centennial of aviation on Dec. 17, WYDOT Director Sleeter Dover said the department remains committed to putting aviation on an equal footing with other modes of transportation in the state. Our vision is to achieve a change in the transportation culture so were truly an intermodal department, he said. Wyoming has a rich aviation history, WYDOT Aeronautics Administrator Shelly Reams added. We were right at the forefront of the birth of the commercial aviation industry, and its a special time we live in to be able to see the 100th anniversary of flight. Aviation and the aerospace industry have made the world a much smaller place and an exciting place. Wyomings aviation history began on Aug. 1, 1911, when Charles Walsh flew his Curtiss-Farmann biplane in Cheyenne.
