Transport: for alment interesserede

In this soaring history, author Richard J. Goodrich uncovers the neglected story of early American aviation and the California School of flight, - none of them named Wright - whose disciples left lasting impacts still felt in the air today

If we are sick and require air transport, we expect a skilled flight nurse will assist us. Before 1936 this was far from reality. Air transportation of critically ill patients began sporadically during World War I, but they crammed the wounded behind the pilot's area with no one to attend to them-the sick and dying patients had to fend for themselves. Lauretta Schimmoler realized this and sought to change it. She thought nurses trained in the aspects of air ambulance transport would be valuable for society. She hoped it could also benefit the military. She found nurses who believed in her cause. Some were pilots or became pilots. Dedicated nurses like Leora Stroup championed the idea when others doubted its relevance. Schimmoler understood airport management, flight school operations, aircraft manufacturing, first aid, chemical warfare, air mail transport, weather, and flight recorders. She even designed special medical equipment to fit inside small airplanes. But the various ranks scrutinized her actions because she wasn't a nurse. Schimmoler and Stroup were born, spent their childhoods, and were buried within 120 miles of each other in Ohio. Both became pilots and early members of the Ninety-Nines club. Stroup had also thought nurses should train for aerial duty even before she met Schimmoler. And Stroup had an edge on Schimmoler-she was a nurse-but Schimmoler barreled ahead despite lacking those credentials.Schimmoler expected people would see the value and appreciate what she and the nurses wanted to accomplish with this specialty they were trying to create. She was wrong. She hadn't realized one essential detail when developing her idea: nursing administration groups and the military didn't accept proposals from outsiders. Thus, she would spend her air ambulance life trying to work with them, through them, or around them.

Tænk at bygge et perfekt træskib med sine egne hænder og med de teknikker, der hører den danske skibsbyggertradition til. Det var drømmen for søfartshistorikeren, sømanden og formidleren Asger Nørlund Christensen, da han i 1997 uden egentlig skibsbyggeruddannelse gik i gang med sit projekt. Ideen var at bygge et traditionelt træskib, der kunne danne rammen om masser af oplevelser sammen med familie og venner i harmoni med naturen.Bogen handler om, hvordan Asgers drøm tager form. Han beslutter at genskabe sejlskibet Caroline, der var med til at starte den organiserede lystsejlads i Danmark i 1866. For at komme så tæt på originalen som muligt må han igennem mange timers arkivstudier for at afdække Carolines historie. Bogen giver indblik i ikke bare dette skibs historie, men hele udviklingen af den tidlige kapsejlads i Danmark. Skabelsen af den nye Caroline bliver en lang og uforudsigelig proces, og vi følger skibsbyggeriet igennem op- og nedture, nye ideer og masser af udfordringer.Om forfatterAsger Nørlund Christensen stod til søs som 16-årig og var fra start fascineret af de sidste, store træsejlskibe, der ombygget til chartersejlads stadig findes herhjemme. Efter en karriere som professionel sejlskibssømand gik han i land og gennemførte en total restaurering af træskibet Anna fra 1904, inden han i 1997 startede projektet med skibet Caroline. Ved siden af dette blev han cand.mag. i kulturhistorie i 2014 og ph.d. i maritim historie i 2019.E-bogen er lavet i fixed format

This ultimate guide is the ideal resource for the car enthusiast who wants to take their vehicle's appearance to the next level.

This book traces the history of the former Italian flag-carrier and those earlier airlines that were amalgamated by the state to form a single airline, events that were shaped by Italy's inter-war National Fascist Party that controlled the development of the country's air transport sector. The state's control continued after the Second World War which led to much interference and mismanagement, exacerbated by a bloated workforce, powerful unions, failed partnerships and, finally, the Covid-19 pandemic. This eventually led to the demise of Italy's icon in 2021.

This invaluable dictionary springs from the foundation laid by the glossary in Vehicle Accident Analysis and Reconstruction Methods, Third Edition created by the disbanded SAE Accident Investigation and Reconstruction Practices Committee (AIRP). Building on this content, this book encompasses a wide array of terms derived from both accident reconstruction and automotive safety.While biomechanics contributes numerous terms related to automotive safety concerning occupants, accident reconstruction primarily caters to vehicular elements. Unlike typical glossaries, this compendium doesn't just define; it references the sources related to the concept. Diving into SAE standards, recommended practices, and other renowned texts, this dictionary paints a complete picture. Even as the automotive landscape evolves, this work stands as an extensive reference for students and professionals alike.

On November 10, 2015, a British Aerospace HS 125-700A, N237WR, operated by Execuflight, crashed during a nonprecision localizer approach to runway 25 at Akron Fulton International Airport and impacted a four-unit apartment building in Akron, Ohio. This report discusses the November 10, 2015, accident in which a British Aerospace HS 125-700A, N237WR, registered to Rais Group International NC LLC and operated by Execuflight, departed controlled flight while on a nonprecision localizer approach to runway 25 at Akron Fulton International Airport and impacted a four-unit apartment building in Akron, Ohio. The captain, first officer, and seven passengers died; no one on the ground was injured. The airplane was destroyed by impact forces and postcrash fire. Safety issues discussed in this report relate to a lack of a requirement for flight data monitoring programs for 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 135 operators, a lack of a requirement for safety management system programs for 14 CFR Part 135 operators, a lack of a nonprecision approach procedure for Hawker 700- and 800-series airplanes that meets stabilized approach criteria and defines "landing assured," a lack of a requirement for flight crew training on the continuous descent final approach technique, inaccuracy of data entered into weight-and-balance software, inadequate Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) surveillance of Part 135 operators, and inadequate cockpit voice recorder maintenance procedures. Safety recommendations are addressed to the FAA, Textron Aviation, and Hawker 700- and 800-series training centers.

206 pages and more than 180 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This Workshop Manual is appropriate for the entire line of 1952 through 1963 Royal Enfield 700cc models. It will also be of use to owners of the 700cc USA (only) Interceptor and the Enfield Indian 700cc Apache, Trailblazer and Chief. A compilation of two factory manuals, it includes the original 1955 'Meteor 700' workshop manual for the 1952 to 1955 models and the later workshop manual for the 1955 to 1963 'Super Meteor' and 'Constellation'. PRODUCTION DETAILS: Due to a number of different reasons, there is some confusion surrounding production details, as it is a known fact that the engine and frame numbering procedure did not follow a consistent pattern and, at times, was somewhat random.As the 'Meteor 700' shared many of its mechanical components with the '500 Twin', the earlier manual is appropriate for both of these models. Royal Enfield was very adept at utilizing components across their entire model line and this 'sharing' carried over into their workshop manuals. Consequently, many of the sections and illustrations are identified as being appropriate for various models and not necessarily specific to the particular model referenced in the manual title. The second manual is much more specific to the 'Super Meteor' and 'Constellation' models and the only noticeable 'shared' pages are the carburetter settings table and the lighting, frame and special tools sections. In order to help identify the subtle differences between the various models, the reader is encouraged to review any of the appropriate sections in order to eliminate the possibility of referencing an incorrect 'shared' section.

302 pages, and more than 135 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches. This manual is a compilation of 7 Norton factory publications specific to the 1945-1963 single-cylinder S.V. and O.H.V. 16H, Big4, 18, ES2, 19R, 19S & 50 models.Workshop Manuals included are: (1) pages extracted from the 16H WD manual dealing with the maintenance and overhaul of girder forks as they are appropriate to the 1945-1946 models (2) a compilation of both the 1947 and 1956 16H, Big 4, 18 and ES2 workshop manuals for the S.V. and O.H.V. 'Road-holder' forks, spring frame (plunger) models (3) a 1956 manual for the O.H.V. swing-arm 19S, ES2 & 50 models and (4) pages extracted from the 1970 manual that are appropriate for the 1958-1963 ES2 & 50.Illustrated Parts Lists included are: (5) a 1948-1949 parts list for the 'Road-holder' forks, spring frame (plunger) 16H, Big4, 18 & ES2 (this parts list also includes the 1946-1949 30, 40, 30M & 40M) (6) a 1956 parts list for the swing-arm ES2, 19S & 50 and the rigid frame 19R and (7) a 1959 parts list for the ES2 &50 (this parts list also includes the 88 & 99 twins).A GUIDE TO THE POSTWAR 1945 THROUGH 1963 NORTON WORKSHOP MANUALS AND PARTS LISTS FOR THE SINGLE CYLINDER 16H, Big 4, 18, 19R, 19S, 50 & ES2.After the war ended in 1945, Norton resumed production of their civilian line of motorcycles and they also began publishing appropriate workshop manuals and parts lists. Unfortunately, there were numerous 'editions' of these publications and, while they identified the models they covered, the workshop manuals rarely identified the years they covered. Ultimately, this can lead to confusion regarding the selection of the appropriate publication for a particular year of Norton motorcycle.WORKSHOP MANUALS: Those published from 1945 up through 1960 were normally exclusive to a specific model. However, beginning in the 1960's, a series of workshop manuals were published that combined the data for both the single and twin cylinder models. Starting with part number P101, followed by P106 and finally P106/P this series of manuals was updated at various times through 1970, however, they continued to include the ES2 and 50 singles. When the 250cc Jubilee twin was introduced in 1958, the earlier 'P' series 'combination' workshop manuals were 'superseded' by the publication of a 1960-1970 factory 'Lightweight & Heavyweight Twins' manual, obviously, the single cylinder machines were no longer included. Owners of the single cylinder models may also find our 'Book of the Norton 1932-1947' (ISBN 9781588501288), 'Book of the Norton 1938-1956' (ISBN 9781588502063) and 'Book of the Norton 1955-1963' (ISBN 9781588501196) to be of interest.IMPORTANT NOTE: Many of the reprints found on internet websites are from 'bedroom sellers' at enticingly low prices by individuals that really have no idea what they are selling. Many are nothing more than poor quality comb bound photocopies that are scanned and published complete with greasy pages and thumbprints and, as such, are deceptively described as 'pre-owned'. In addition, they are often advertised for the incorrect series and/or model years of motorcycles. However, VelocePress.com has been publishing reprints of motorcycle and automobile manuals since 2003 and our publications have earned excellent reviews worldwide so you can be assured you are purchasing a quality product.

226 pages, and more than 90 illustrations and charts, size 8.25 x 10.75 inches.

(2) a 1956-1970 workshop manual compiled from the appropriate pages extracted from the 1970 Norton factory workshop manual, part number P106/P, for the 88, 99, 650 and 'Sports Specials' - it is also appropriate for the 650cc Manxman and Mercury models.Illustrated Parts Lists included are: (3) a 1949-1950 parts list for the model 7 that includes spring frame (plunger) rear suspension. (4) a 1957 parts list for the 77, 88 & 99 and (5) a 1964 parts list for the 88SS, 650SS and the 650/99. However, as the 750cc machines ran concurrently with the final Dominator models, the Atlas and AMC variants are also included in this 1964 parts list.Please Note: The compilation workshop manual is specific to the Dominator series which ended in 1970. It does not include repair data for the 750cc Atlas or the AMC variants (see IMPORTANT NOTE Below).
