 The U.S. Air Service in World War I: The Final Report and A Tactical History - Sopwith Camel, Haviland, Eddie Rickenbacker, Observation Balloons, Pursuit Tactics, Handley-Page, Spad Planes【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞Professionally converted for accurate flowing-text e-book format reproduction, this is an important and comprehensive historical account of U.S. air activities in Europe during World War I.＜/p＞ ＜p＞The "Final Report" published in this volume has been taken from Air Service Information Circular (Aviation), Vol. II, No. 180, 15 February 1921. Substantive changes made in the Office of the Chief of Air Service when the "Final Report" was being prepared for publication in 1921 have been pointed out in notes provided by the editor. When the United States entered the war in April 1917, the Army had two reporting systems for obtaining historical information from some of its major components, but that was the extent of the historical program. In February 1918, however, the War Department created a Historical Branch of the General Staff to write the history of the World War. About the same time, Gen. John J. Pershing, Commander in Chief of the AEF, set up a historical unit in AEF General Headquarters at Chaumont-en-Bassigny, France. During the weeks that followed, historical programs were established by various elements of the U.S. Army, including the AEF's Services of Supply (SOS), with headquarters at Tours, France.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Final Report of the Chief of Air Service, AEF * I.

 Balloons Exploring Love, Loss, and Resilience in Early 20th-Century Europe【電子書籍】[ Elizabeth Bibesco ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In 'Balloons,' Elizabeth Bibesco weaves a poignant tapestry of human experience, navigating themes of love, loss, and the transient nature of happiness through her distinctively lyrical prose. Written during the interwar period, a time marked by both social upheaval and poetic innovation, Bibesco'??s narrative is enriched by her keen observational style and her affinity for capturing the nuances of emotional landscapes. This collection intertwines whimsical imagery with profound reflections, presenting a meditative exploration of the human condition that resonates deeply with the existential queries of its time. Elizabeth Bibesco, a Romanian-born British author, was intricately influenced by her eclectic background and the intellectual circles she inhabited as a member of the Bloomsbury Group. The daughter of a Romanian nobleman and an Englishwoman, her cross-cultural experiences provided her with a unique perspective on life'??s complexities. Bibesco'??s literary career, nurtured amidst notable contemporaries such as Virginia Woolf, undoubtedly shaped her insightful engagement with themes of identity, belonging, and the ephemeral nature of joy, vividly displayed in 'Balloons.' I highly recommend 'Balloons' to readers who seek to delve into a rich narrative that balances whimsy with profound philosophical inquiry. Bibesco's work is not merely a reflection of her time but a timeless meditation that invites readers to ponder their own inner lives while engaging with beautifully crafted language and imagery.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 150円 |
 Sirens and Grey Balloons【電子書籍】[ Peter Hurdwell ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The life of a small boy living in a London suburb which sustained heavy damage from enemy bombing where over a hundred of its citizens were killed and only ten percent of its buildings survived the war unscathed. He recalls the terror of lying in a cupboard under the stairs as the Luftwaffe bombed his suburb and later devastation caused by V1 flying bombs and long range V2 rockets. His account encompasses a short period of evacuation to the safety of a country village and the relief experienced by a war torn populace when news of Hitler's death heralded the end of the Third Reich and the Second World War. The reminiscences also include details of his family's friendship with German prisoners of war. The main thread which weaves the narrative together lays in the many humorous episodes which punctuated his early years, particularly whilst in the British Army which at the time appeared to have changed only marginally since the carnage of the First World War.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 450円 |

With every advance in velocity and altitude resulting from new types of high-performance aircraft, rockets or satellites, the potential operational environment of the Air Force has expanded until today the actual area of operations extends to the very borders of interplanetary space and the immediate potential includes the vast central portion of the solar system. And with every advance of the environmental parameters, man encounters physical and biological hazards unique in his experience. For many years, scientists of the Biodynamics and Space Biology Branches and more recently organized units of the Air Force Missile Development Center's Aeromedical Field Laboratory have sought to identify and understand the nature of these hazards, and to perfect protective devices and techniques for the benefit of man operating at high altitudes within the atmosphere and in the limitless space beyond. Because of the nature of its projects, the Laboratory occupies a unique position among the many other major units of the Center. It is one of the units working most directly toward man's ultimate conquest of space and was actively working toward this objective even during the years that "space work" was in official Air Force and Congressional disfavor as "impractical."＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,060円 |

King, and a Full Description of His Great Captive Balloons and Their Apparat【電子書籍】 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞In the 21st century - the age of the budget airline - where quick and reliable air travel is available to a large segment of society, it seems hard to comprehend that it is less than 250 years since the first human took to the skies.

Since the first manned balloon flight in 1783, developments have come thick and fast, the airship, the aeroplane, and finally the space shuttle. This reprint of a classic publication from 1879 contains a wealth of fascinating information on the early history of aviation. Complete with illustrations and a brand new introduction, it covers the adventures of the great aeronauts such as Coxwell and Rozier, and famous ascents like that of the Zenith.

 The United States Army Air Arm: April 1861 to April 1917, Wright Brothers, Curtiss and Burgess Airplanes, Air Fatalities, Balloons, Airships, Early Planes, Signal Corps, Aviation School【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞This important official monograph recounts the development of aviation in the United States Army from April 1861, when the Army first became interested in balloons as a means of observation, to April 1917, when America entered World War I. The origins and organizations of the Army's air arm are told in detail, with particular emphasis on early air force personnel, planes, and experiments. In the process the monograph traces the early development of what today is The United States Air Force. Of necessity, the monograph tends strongly toward the chronological variety. This is owing to several factors, the thinness of aviation activities for most of the long period covered and an equal thinness in records being the principal factors. Only a few books which deal with this early period of Army aviation have been written, and all of them together do not cover the period. This, then, is the first attempt to put the story into a single volume. Because the story of the air arm from April 1917 to the beginning of World War II also has not been fully covered it is expected that the present monograph will be the first of three, which, when completed, will become the basis for a published history of the Army Air Arm, 1861-1939.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Chapter I - Balloons and Airships in the United States Army, 1861-1913 * Chapter II - Early American Planes and Their Inventors * Chapter III - The Signal Corps' First Air Installations and First Military Aviator Rating * Chapter IV - College Park and Other Air Schools, 1912-1913 * Chapter V - Signal Corps Aviation School at San Diego, 1913 to July 1914 * Chapter VI - Aviation Legislation, and the Aviation Section Through 1914 * Chapter VII - Aviation in 1915 and 1916 * Chapter VIII - The Aviation Section in 1916 * Chapter IX - The 1st Squadron with Pershing's Punitive Expedition, 1916 * Chapter X - Army Flying Training Schools, The National Guard, and The Air Reserve * Chapter XI - The Aviation Section to 6 April 1917＜/p＞ ＜p＞Chapter I * Balloons and Airships in the United States Army, 1861-1913 * Balloons in the Civil War The Spanish-American War Balloon * Ballooning in the United States Army, 1902-1914 * Chapter II * Early American Planes and Their Inventors * The Langley Plane * The Wright Brothers' Plane * Other Early Airplanes and Inventors * Chapter III * The Signal Corps' First Air Installations and First Military Aviator Rating * Fort Sam Houston, 1910-1911 * College Park, 1911 * Winter School at Augusta, Georgia, 1911-1912 * "Military Aviator" Rating * Chapter IV * College Park and Other Air Schools, 1912-1913 * College Park * The Augusta Air School, 1912-1913 * The Texas City Air School, 1913 * Overseas Air Schools: Philippines and Hawaii * Chapter V * Signal Corps Aviation School at San Diego, 1913 to July 1914 * Chapter VI * Aviation Legislation, and the Aviation Section Through 1914 * Legislative Action * The Aviation Section * Airplanes Purchased by the Signal Corps in 1914 * The San Diego School * Chapter VII * Aviation in 1915 and 1916 * The Aviation Section in 1915 * The National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics * The Aero Club of America and the National Guard in 1915-1916 * The First Aero Company of the National Guard in 1915-1916 * The Status of the American Aviation Industry in 1915 * Pyrotechnics Tested * Airplanes Accepted and Tested in 1915 * The San Diego School * The 1st Aero Squadron * San Antonio Air Center * The Philippine Squadron and Others ー 1915 and 1916 * Chapter VIII * The Aviation Section in 1916 * Air Legislation * The Aviation Section * San Diego Developments * The Aviation Center at Fort Sam Houston * Reserve Corps Expansion * Balloons and Zeppelins * Division of Authority * Summary * Chapter IX * The 1st Squadron with Pershing's Punitive Expedition, 1916 * Chapter X * Army Flying Training Schools, The National Guard, and The Air Reserve * Army Flying Training Schools * The Flying School Program, April 1917＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,060円 |

 Kite Balloons to Airships: the Navy's Lighter-than-Air Experience - Goodyear, Goodrich, Helium, Airship Disasters, Lakehurst, USS Akron, Macon, Heli-Stat, Aerocrane, ZP-32 and ZP-21【電子書籍】[ Progressive Management ] 楽天Kobo電子書籍ストア | ＜p＞The dawn of aviation began with lighter-than-air craft and gliders. They were in the forefront of what eventually led to the Wright brothers' activities at Kitty Hawk. The Navy's early use of lighter-than-air craft may be traced back to the American Civil War. However, it was a short-lived affair and these LTA possibilities were not pursued after the war. With the advent of airplanes in naval service, the Navy again turned its interest to lighter-than-air craft. The Navy's lighter-than-air program blossomed and its fleet of airships became the largest the world has ever seen. During the era of the giant rigid airships, the Navy built some of the largest airships in the world. Many achievements were recorded by the Navy's LTA branch and new records were set, records which still remain unbroken today. This monograph is intended to provide an overview of the Navy's involvement with balloons, airships and their operations, which shows their failures and accomplishments and their contributions to the Navy's mission of guarding the sea lanes of America. It provides an overall look at the history of LTA in the Navy. Various aspects of the LTA program have had extensive coverage, especially the rigid airship era; however, the entire history of LTA in the Navy has not been told under one cover. The Navy's LTA program technically ended in the 1960s. But the evolutionary trends that can be seen in history could possibly bring back certain functions of LTA and make them viable in today's world of supersonic flight and space travel.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Contents include: I. The Early Period * II. The Navy's First Airship * III. The B-class * IV. Early LTA Training * V. World War I * VI. The C-class * VII. New Airship Classes in the Post-WW I Period * VIII. The Demise of the Kite Balloon * IX. The Switch to Helium * X. The Development of LTA's Home Base and the Rigid Airship Program * XI. Pre-WW II Blimps and the Evolution of the K-class * XII. WW II Airships and Their Operations: * ZP-32 Operations * ZP-41 in South America * ZP-21 in the Caribbean * ZP-14 in the Atlantic and Europe * ZP-12 Operations * XIII. Final LTA Operations in WW II and the Amazing Statistics They Compiled * XIV. Post-WW II Development and Operations xv. Airships in the Postwar Period * XVI. LTA Records Set in the 1950s * XVII. The Demise of LTA and a Possible Revival. Some of the topics covered include: Goodyear, Goodrich, World War II, Helium, Lakehurst, Airship Shenandoah, USS Akron, USS Macon, airship disasters, ZP-32, ZP-21, World War II, post-war, heli-stat, aerocrane.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。 | 1,057円 |
