Area 51, a top-secret military installation hidden in the desert northwest of Las Vegas, has been shrouded in mystery since 1955. Now, aerospace historian Peter Merlin cuts through the myths and conspiracy folklore to reveal in extraordinary detail the true story of how a ramshackle temporary outpost was ultimately transformed into one of the nation's premier flight test and evaluation facilities for advanced aviation technology and high-tech weapons. Other books focus on the early years of the Groom Lake test site (circa 1955 to 1969); Dreamland covers that period in greater detail and also continues the story well into the modern era. This compelling narrative is based on a treasure trove of declassified documents and interviews and is richly illustrated with more than 700 images, many never published before. Along with collecting declassified government documents, interviews, photos, and other material, the author developed extensive contacts in libraries and archives, submitted numerous Freedom of Information Act requests, conducted oral-history interviews with veterans, and discovered a surprising amount of material that was never classified in the first place. Author Peter Merlin has appeared in more than a dozen film and television documentaries for the History Channel, Discovery, National Geographic, Smithsonian, and others. This manuscript was produced to the same rigorous academic standard as the author's works published by NASA and the American Institute for Aeronautics and Astronautics.

"A history of the dirigible around the World, from preWW1 to WW2."--

In 1941 fighter aircraft started to encounter severe control and structural problems as speeds rose into a new and unforeseen regime of flight where the air compressed and produced a phenomenon called 'shock stall' accompanied by an exponential increase of drag. Many eminent aerodynamicists predicted that this presented a barrier beyond which controlled flight would be impossible. The invention of the jet engine eliminated the drag of the propeller, with its limit of 500mph, opening the door to higher speeds. This laid down the challenge to conquer the complex problems. Whoever succeeded would rule the skies over the battlefields of World War 2.In 1942 British intelligence discovered that the Germans were building an aircraft with a flight speed of 1,000mph. If this was true the British aircraft industry would have to respond or lose control of the air. This is the story of the people who accepted that challenge.This book takes the reader into the meetings of the actual scientists and engineers of the time as well as the cockpits of the courageous pilots tasked with the dangerous high speed research programmes. In this way the real science is explained in an informal way which is easy to understand. The story is 'faction' because it enables a direct comparison between German and British research programmes. It is also the result of over thirty years of detailed research with many interviews and communications with the pilots and scientists involved.The second part of the book provides the enthusiast with factual information on the background subjects which form the story including the debunking of some of the myths which still prevail.Were the Germans ahead in 1945? The book reveals the truth

Three article-length monographs reveal fascinating insights into some of the greatest highways and least-known byways of aviation throughout its history. Comprehensively illustrated with many rare and unique images.The Levis-Belmont Affair: Back in the pioneer era, the Levis motorcycle company and Belmont aeroplane company teamed up to create a series of experimental aeroplanes. A unique five-cylinder inline two-stroke aero engine survives on display in the Science Museum. But what about the aeroplanes?Essex Aero: During the Golden Age of Aviation, de Havilland's racing Gipsy Six R engine took the laurels in both the de Havilland Comet racer and the Percival Mew Gull. But what of Essex Aero, the technological powerhouse behind those stories? From Spitfire fuel tanks to the stunning S-X Magbody Allard classic roadster, Essex Aero are full of forgotten surprises.The F-18 Hornets that Aren't: The Swiss Air Force today operates the F/A-18C Hornisse air superiority fighter from their mountain bases. Except, two of those warplanes are not real aircraft; they are world-leading training simulators made by Hugo Wolf AG. Their story is told here in English for the first time.

TAC was the largest of the USAF's major Cold War combatant commands. Formed in 1946 and headquartered at Langley AFB, Virginia, it operated a huge range of aircraft over the following 46 years until it was inactivated in 1992.In 1946, it was equipped with mainly World War Two aircraft types including P-47s and P-51s. It soon ushered into service jet aircraft operations with the P-80 and F-86. Within a few years, TAC was operating a wide range of tactical fighters, ground attack fighters, light bombers, tactical missiles, photographic reconnaissance and special mission aircraft (reconnaissance, special operations, and electronic warfare).TAC played a significant part in the Korean War, the Cuban missile crisis and later the wars in SE Asia and the Gulf in 1991. It came to operate a large number of tactical fighter and attack aircraft including the F-84, F-100 and F-105. As the 1960s progressed, they were joined by the A-7, F-111 and F-4 and, in the 1980s, supplemented by A-10s, F-15s and F-16s through to the end of the Cold War.In the run-up to any war with the USSR, Tactical Air Command was expected to deploy its combat airpower to USAF Commands in Europe and/or the Pacific. That deployment capability struggled during the 1970s. However, from 1978 to 1984, the strength and capability of TAC was transformed by its new commander, General Wilbur 'Bill' Creech. He organized, equipped and prepared his units (including ANG and AFRES elements) to deploy from the continental US to the frontline in Europe. Ready to fight and familiarized with their area of operations they could have joined the war immediately, drawing on pre-positioned weapons stocks.As the Soviet threat diminished towards the end of the 1980s, all TAC's preparations, planning and capabilities were tested for real following the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in August 1990. Suddenly sent to Middle East in the countries surrounding Iraq, those well tested plans saw TAC aircraft form a major part of all coalition air forces that took part in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm. In 1992, in a major USAF reorganization TAC became Air Combat Command.

Performance.Vi har kendt til begrebet siden 1970, men dets relevans er kun blevet større med årene. De fleste af os performer på arbejdet, som familiemedlem – ja, hele tiden, uden vi rigtig tænker over, hvad det gør ved os. Men hvad er performance egentlig, og hvad betyder det for os som mennesker? Det har Anne Ravn Grønholt i samarbejde med Jack J. Frederiksen blandt andet spurgt en række kendte mennesker om – og deres svar er vidt forskellige. Med "Performancemennesket – Om at navigere i et præstationssamfund" får læseren udvidet sin horisont og forståelse af begrebet performance. Det giver læseren muligheden for at tage bedre valg for sin egen performance i fremtiden.

The National Transportation Safety Board determines that the probable causes of this accident were the pilots' unprofessional behavior, deviation from standard operating procedures, and poor airmanship, which resulted in an in-flight emergency from which they were unable to recover, in part because of the pilots' inadequate training; the pilots' failure to prepare for an emergency landing in a timely manner, including communicating with air traffic controllers immediately after the emergency about the loss of both engines and the availability of landing sites; and the pilots' improper management of the double engine failure checklist, which allowed the engine cores to stop rotating and resulted in the core lock engine condition. Contributing to this accident were the core lock engine condition, which prevented at least one engine from being restarted, and the airplane flight manuals that did not communicate to pilots the importance of maintaining a minimum airspeed to keep the engine cores rotating.The safety issues in this report focus on flight crew training in the areas of high altitude climbs, stall recognition and recovery, and double engine failures; flight crew professionalism; and the quality of some parameters recorded by flight data recorders on regional jet airplanes. Safety recommendations concerning these issues are addressed to the Federal Aviation Administration.

Using contemporary documents, authors Dan Sharp and Calum E. Douglas explain and explore the development and eventual failure of this fascinating 'secret project'.Chosen in 1941 to replace the Bf 109 as the Luftwaffe's standard front-line fighter, Messerschmitt's innovative Me 309 embodied a wealth of hard-won experience from the Battle of Britain. Its sturdy tricycle undercarriage would make landings safer, its capacious wings could accommodate much heavier weaponry, its retractable radiator would make it aerodynamically clean, its pressure cabin would allow high-altitude operations and its ejection seat would help preserve the Luftwaffe's most precious asset - its pilots.All of this was made possible by a fuselage specifically tailored to accommodate Germany's newest and most powerful fighter engines: Daimler-Benz's DB 603 and Junkers' Jumo 213. Production of up to 800 Me 309s a month had been planned by May 1942 - more than all other German fighter types combined. Yet the type's advancement from prototype to full series production was reduced to a crawl, not by technical difficulties but by political in-fighting, deception and manipulation behind closed doors.The Me 309 was set up to fail - doomed to join a lost generation of mid-war Luftwaffe combat aircraft alongside types such as Focke-Wulf's Fw 190 C and Junkers' Ju 288 - but why and by whom? Messerschmitt Me 309 Development & Politics, the first book ever written solely about this aircraft, sets out its full history - from its forerunners and commissioning to its eventual cancellation and sale to the Japanese military.Using contemporary documents, authors Dan Sharp and Calum E. Douglas explain and explore the development and eventual failure of this fascinating 'secret project'.

Avionics is derived from the words "aviation electronics". Avionics encompasses aircraft communication, navigation, safety/surveillance, and information management systems. Avionics systems have undergone a plethora of transformation both technological and functionally over the past decade which has been greatly influenced by advancements in the computer and information technology industry.This book discusses some areas where avionics system integration or "integrated" avionics provide added value to a platform. The primary focus of this book, however, is aircraft navigation and communication system with minimal emphasis on software application.

Zweite, vollständig überarbeitete und erweiterte AuflageIn der knapp dreißigjährigen Geschichte der Junkers-Werke entstanden zwischen 1915 und 1945 fast 30.000 Junkers-Flugzeuge. Die meisten dieser Flugzeuge wurden im zweiten Weltkrieg gebaut und gingen während ihres Kriegseinsatzes oft nach nur wenigen Einsatztagen verloren. Das, was am Ende des verlorenen Kriegs übrig blieb, war wertvoller Rohstoff und wurde zur Rohstoffgewinnung verschrottet. Hiervon blieben in Deutschland auch die Flugzeuge nicht verschont, die schon in den zwanziger und dreißiger Jahren als technisches Kulturgut in eines der aufstrebenden Technikmuseen gelangten. Einige wurden bei alliierten Bomberangriffen zerstört. Andere verschwanden auf dem Weg in vermeintlich sichere Lagerstellen. Anfang der fünfziger Jahre existierte in Deutschland keines der 30.000 Junkers-Flugzeuge mehr. Die heute noch existierenden, annähernd 100 Originalflugzeuge überstanden den Krieg durchweg außerhalb Deutschlands. Einige von ihnen haben inzwischen den Weg zurück in deutsche Luftfahrtmuseen gefunden. Eine Reihe guter Nachbauten ergänzt die wenigen Originale.Die vorliegende Buchreihe ist eine Bestandsaufnahme der heute noch existierenden Junkers-Flugzeuge, sowie der inzwischen entstandenen Nachbauten und dokumentiert die individuelle Geschichte dieser Exponate. Der erste Band widmet sich den frühen Flugzeugentwicklungen, die unter der Leitung von Hugo Junkers bis 1932 entstanden sind. Die noch zahlreich vorhandenen Junkers Ju52 sind Gegenstand des zweiten Bandes, während die Flugzeugentwicklungen nach der Zeit von Hugo Junkers in einem abschließenden dritten Band behandelt werden.Fünf Jahre nach Erscheinen der Erstauflage des ersten Bandes legen wir mit dieser Zweitauflage nicht nur eine einfache Aktualisierung vor. Zahlreiche neue Objekte, zum Teil auch Originalflugzeuge, die aus Lagerresten unerwartet wieder zusammengesetzt werden konnten, die Wiederaufnahme einer Serienfertigung flugfähiger Junkers-Nachbauten bei der neu gegründeten Junkers Flugzeugwerke AG in der Schweiz, sowie die Neu- und Umgestaltung zahlreicher Flugzeugsammlungen machten eine grundlegende Überarbeitung des Inhalts der Erstaufgabe erforderlich.
