Der styrtede mere end 1000 flyvemaskiner ned i Danmark under Anden Verdenskrig, britiske, amerikanske, tyske – og en enkelt dansk. Her er historien om en række af de vigtigste krigen igennem.Ole Steen Hansen tager os med på farefulde minelægningsoperationer i lav højde over danske farvande. På nedkastningsoperationer til modstandsbevægelsen og med bombefly på vej til mål i Tyskland.Læseren får overblik over krigen i luften, er med når nedskudte flyvere forsøger at flygte, og møder også de barske konsekvenser af de mange styrt. Bogen er rigt illustreret med historiske billeder og med nutidige fotos af mindesmærker, krigsgrave og historiske fly, som stadig kan ses i luften eller på museer.

Flyvningen er det 20. århundredes store eventyr, og Danmark har spillet en rolle i det. Ikke siden 30’erne er der kommet et samlet værk om dansk flyvning, hvilket ’Danmarks flyvehistorie’ retter op på i et gennemillustreret og lækkert trebindsværk. Danmarks flyvehistorie – De små fly er bind to.Ole Steen Hansen kender personligt de små flys Danmark og tegner et levende billede af piloterne og den passion, der driver dem. Mange af bogens flotte fotos er taget af forfatteren selv, når han har hængt ud ad åbne vinduer i små fly og fotograferet dem, der fløj tæt ved siden af.Historisk berettes om de små flys mangeartede anvendelse inden for fritidsflyvning, taxaflyvning, ambulanceflyvning, fotoflyvning og svæveflyvning mm. Og forfatteren tager os med på dramatisk forbryderjagt i åben dobbeltdækker, kighosteflyvninger med syge børn, dramatisk landbrugsflyvning en halv meter over kornet med 160km/t, kvindernes verdensmesterskab i svæveflyvning over den jyske hede, og omkring Roskilde-gruppen, der i hjemmebyggede fly med røg efter sig tegnede et hjerte på himlen over København for at hylde sundhedspersonalet under Coronakrisen. Bogen fortæller også om den vigtige danske flyproduktion omkring Anden Verdenskrig, om luftfotografering fra ballon over Tivoli i 1800-tallet og meget mere.Ole Steen Hansen (f. 1957) er forfatter, oversætter, fotograf, pilot og luftfartsjournalist. På baggrund af sit mangeårige virke blev han i 2019 tildelt Dansk Forfatterforenings faglitterære pris. Ole Steen Hansen har i mange år arbejdet med at fremme kendskabet til dansk flyvnings historie, når han i ord og billeder har skabt levende fortællinger med mennesket i centrum.

Flyvningen er det 20. århundredes store eventyr, den sidste store opdagelsesrejse på vores planet, og Danmark har spillet en rolle i den. Nu kommer værket, der fortæller historien. I stort format, rigt illustreret. Levende fortalt, så både almindeligt interesserede, flyveentusiaster, historiefans og folk, der arbejder i luftfarten på jorden eller i flyene, kan være med. Forfatter Ole Steen Hansen lægger lige stor vægt på at oplyse og underholde i let tilgængelig fortælling og billeder.Værket kommer i tre bind med planlagt udgivelse i 2021, 2022 og juni 2024.Første bind (2021) handler om pionertiden og trafikflyvningen. Vi begynder med dansk flyvnings vugge, Kløvermarken på Amager. Herefter fokuseres på den første trafikflyvning og sidenhen etableringen af SAS og de banebrydende nordpolsruter. Charterturismen, udfordringen af SAS-monopolet, etableringen af nye selskaber og lavprisruter udgør det næste hovedafsnit, og bindet slutter med de store udfordringer, trafikflyvningen står over for – coronaen og den grønne omstilling.Andet bind (2022) kommer til at handle om de små fly, der bruges til fritidsflyvning, taxaflyvning, ambulanceflyvning og fotoflyvning, og emnet for tredje bind (2024) bliver den militære flyvning fra 1912 til i dag.

I tredje og sidste bind af pragtværket om Danmarks flyvehistorie fortæller Ole Steen Hansen den spændende historie om dansk militær flyvning. Den spænder fra den allerførste militære flyvning herhjemme – med en ballon, der desværre endte i Øresund – til et kig ind i fremtiden, da den nye F-35 lander på Flyvestation Skrydstrup.Forfatter-fotografen har talt med en lang række mennesker, der gennem årene har fløjet i Flyvevåbnet samt Hærens og Flådens flyvetjenester, herunder vores første kvindelige militære piloter og radiooperatører.Vi kommer med på højdramatiske redningsaktioner i helikopter, flyver – helt bogstaveligt – højere, end vingerne bærer, med to gange lydens hastighed i Flyvestation Aalborgs Starfightere og kommer tæt på, når ulykken rammer. En tredjedel af Flyvevåbnets kampfly havarerede i løbet af Den Kolde Krig.Bogen indledes med den voldsomme beretning om evakueringen fra Kabul i 2021. Ole Steen Hansen (f. 1957) er forfatter, oversætter, fotograf, pilot og luftfartsjournalist. På baggrund af sit mangeårige virke blev han i 2019 tildelt Dansk Forfatterforenings faglitterære pris.

SCANDINAVIAN AIRLINES SYSTEM (SAS) was established 1 August 1946. Three individuals that were involved since 1946 until recently in the development, evaluation, specifications and the acquisition process of all aircraft used by SAS over the 70 years are telling the stories how it happened. Many yet untold episodes from the discussions and negotiations with the major airframe and engine manufacturers reveal some interesting background why some aircraft were selected and some others not. SAS and the development people at the airline have over time also influenced the aviation industry which this book also has documented. The book was originally published in Swedish as the Swedish Aviation Historical Society 2014 Yearbook and was in 2015 awarded the Aviation book of the year in Sweden. The English translation now published 23 February 2016 is aimed at the international aviation community.

On January 26, 2020, a Sikorsky S-76B helicopter, N72EX, being operated by Island Express Helicopters Inc. as a Title 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 135 on-demand flight, crashed into terrain in Calabasas, California. The pilot and the eight passengers died. One of the passengers was retired basketball player Kobe Bryant.Safety issues include the pilot's preflight weather and flight risk planning, the flight's entry into instrument meteorological conditions and the pilot's inadequate adverse weather avoidance, the pilot's spatial disorientation, influences on the pilot's decision to continue the flight into adverse weather, Island Express' incomplete implementation of its safety management system (SMS), the benefits of a mandatory SMS, the benefits of flight simulation devices for pilot training in adverse weather avoidance, the benefits of a flight data monitoring program, and the value of crash-resistant flight recorder systems in preventing future accidents. As a result of the investigation, the National Transportation Safety Board makes two new safety recommendations each to the Federal Aviation Administration and Island Express.

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.

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.
