NAVAL AVIATION HISTORY History of Naval Aviation of the Royal Navy and the Commonwealth Fleet Air Arm Naval Aviation Book store now open for Christmas gifts In the early part of the 20th century the British Royal Navy used balloons and airships for reconnaissance. After the failure of the Royal Navy's airship Mayfly in 1911, the naval minister, Winston Churchill, began arguing for the development of military aircraft. In 1912 the government formed the Royal Flying Corps. The British Royal Navy was given the airships owned by the British Army. It was also given twelve aircraft to be used in conjunction with its ships. The first flight from a moving ship took place in May 1912. The following year, the first seaplane carrier, Hermes, was commissioned. The Navy also began to build a chain of coastal air stations. In January 1914 the government established the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS). Within a few months the RNAS had 217 pilots and 95 aircraft (55 of them seaplanes). By the outbreak of the First World War in August 1914, the RNAS had more aircraft under its control than the Royal Flying Corps. The main role of the RNAS was fleet reconnaissance, patrolling coasts for enemy ships and submarines, attacking enemy coastal territory and defending Britain from enemy air-raids. The leading war ace in the RNAS was Raymond Collishaw with 60 victories. The RNAS was severely attacked for its failure to prevent the Zeppelin bombing raids. In February 1916 there was a change of policy and the Royal Flying Corps were given responsibility of dealing with Zeppelins once they were over Britain. The RNAS now concentrated on bombing Zeppelins on the ground in Germany.

Despite flying against a heavily armed Cuban and Grenadan force, the Task Force was able to complete its mission. Since 1983, the unit has responded to numerous missions at the request of the National Command Authority. This includes the eminently successful MOUNT HOPE III Operation in June 1988, performed in the most demanding environmental flight conditions imaginable, clearly demonstrating the ability of man and machine to strike deep, accomplish the mission and return safely. Night Stalkers participated in Operations PRIME CHANCE conducting sustained operations and ably supported a joint military Task Force under extraordinarily difficult and hazardous conditions. Aircrews of the 160th habitually operated 30 feet above the water, at night, using night vision goggles and forward looking infrared devices. Operation PRIME CHANCE resulted in the first successful night combat engagement which neutralized an enemy threat while using Aviator Night Vision Goggles and Forward Looking Infrared Devices.

Entries Publication Data Advisory Board Contributors ... World Civilizations The Reader's Companion to American History AVIATION Americans have always been fascinated by the possibility of flight. On June 24, 1784, only seven months after Pilatre de Rozier and the Marquis D'Arlandes became the first human beings to fly, thirteen-year-old Edward Warren rose above the streets of Baltimore aboard a balloon constructed by Peter Carnes, a lawyer and tavern keeper from Maryland. During the next century, balloons became a familiar sight, but the gaily decorated gasbags were captives of the wind. Navigating in air with the freedom of the birds came only with the invention of the airplane. During the 1890s Octave Chanute and Samuel Pierpont Langley helped set the stage for achieving winged flight. In 1896, Langley, the secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, launched a series of large, steam-powered model aircraft on flights of up to three-quarters of a mile over the Potomac River. Several months later, Chanute, a civil engineer, led a band of assistants into the dune country east of Chicago, where they flew a series of manned gliders, including an advanced biplane. Wilbur and Orville Wright, the proprietors of a bicycle shop in Dayton, Ohio, wrote to Langley and Chanute in 1899-1900, requesting information on aeronautics and announcing their decision to conduct their own tests. They made the world's first powered, sustained, and controlled flights with a heavier-than-air flying machine at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, on December 17, 1903. Unwilling to risk unveiling their technology without the protection of a patent and a contract for the sale of airplanes, the Wrights did not make their flights in public until 1908. By that time, photographs and descriptions of their machine had inspired other pioneers to follow their lead.

Under Henry VIII, Sir Brian Tuke was made the first Master of the Posts and under his direction the service became more efficient and more available to the ordinary citizen. In 1683, Charles II started the London Penny Post. Letters could be mailed anywhere within London for a penny. Outside the city, difficult conditions, such as bad roads, slow horses and indifferent messengers, delayed mail delivery. In 1836 Sir Rowland Hill suggested a cheap, uniform rate for letters, the present-day envelope, and adhesive postage stamps. Until then, postmasters had written Paid on the outside of letters before they were sent. Many of Hill's suggestions were adopted and the first postage stamps in the world were issued in Britain on 6 May 1840.

News Glenn Curtiss left indelible mark on aviation history Hell Rider to King of the Air: Glenn Curtiss's Life of Innovation - New SAE Publication Warrendale, PA, March 26, 2004 - World history is full of stories about people who were not actually the first in their field, but through entrepreneurial spirit, creativity, risk-taking, and persistence - were far more successful than the so-called "ground breakers". Bill Gates, Henry Ford, and The Beatles come to mind. Glenn Curtiss lent his name to many patents and successful business ventures, but the complex life story of one of mobility's pioneers is not as well known. Author Kirk W. House profiles Glenn Curtiss in Hell Rider to King of the Air: Glenn Curtiss's Life of Innovation (SAE new Hardcover Book R-314), and says it well. "ýoften more important than primacy are the questions of influence. Glenn Curtiss was one of the most influential men in the development of the motorcycle with its industry, the airplane with its industry, and the travel trailer with its industry - not to mention the development of southeastern Florida." In his 52-years (1878 - 1930) Glenn Curtiss parlayed an eighth grade education into the titles "Fastest Man on Earth", "Father of Naval Aviation", inventor of the aileron, holder of the first pilots license, motorcycle design innovator, and one of the most creative inventors and transportation designers of all time. A contemporary of the Wright Brothers, his relationship with them deteriorated from admired colleague, to respected competitor, to despised alleged imitator.

The following lecture was given by Daniel Hagedorn, Adjunct Curator for Latin American Aviation at the National Air and Space Museum. It is a distinct pleasure and honor for me to speak to so distinguished an assembly on a subject that has been my personal passion for some thirty-five years now. During these next few minutes, I will bring you but a very brief glimpse of the very rich and eventful history of aviation in Latin America, with emphasis on the post-World War II period. Both military and naval aviation will be touched upon as well as the civilian and commercial sphere. Needless to say, it would take far longer than the few moments we will share today to convey the entire breadth of the subject. However, perhaps in these selected examples you will leave with a richer understanding of what has gone before. It will probably come as something of a surprise to you to learn that a Latin American aeronaut actually flew before the Wright brothers. But way before someone rushes out to alert the "Washington Post," the aeronaut in question flew in a lighter-than-air dirigible of his own design, rather than a fixed wing, controllable, powered aircraft, which claim is still held by the immortal Wright brothers. The airman in question was, of course
