Airships in Peace War by R. P. Hearne Pdf

Excerpt from Airships in Peace War: Being the Second Edition of Aerial Warfare With Seven New Chapters The first edition of this book was written early in 1908, at a time when the aeroplane record in Europe represented a flight of only fifteen minutes' duration, and when the Wrights had given no public proof of their flying powers, even in America. Information was exceedingly difficult to obtain, especially in England, where the whole subject of mechanical flight had been shamefully neglected. By the autumn of that year the Wrights had established their fame in Europe and America, and the great movement for the development of aviation had begun. A year of astounding progress in every direction has followed. Records upon records have been made both by flying machines and dirigible balloons.

Military, Naval and Civil Airships Since 1783 by Daniel G. Ridley-Kitts MBE Pdf

An exploration of the history and development of the dirigible airship from its humble beginnings in the late eighteenth century through to its current role as military command posts among other uses. Starting out as an unreliable experimental aircraft whilst aeronauts first began to learn the secrets of aerial navigation, the airship was remodelled in 1900 by Count Zeppelin to become a potent weapon of war. It was then transformed again into a short-lived solution to long-distance passenger air travel. With over 100 technical drawings and contemporary images of dirigible aircraft, Ridley-Kitts presents a comprehensive and fascinating history of the airship. Military, Naval and Civil Airships is a must read for those that wish to delve into the development of the aircraft for the first time and for airship specialists alike.

Aircraft in War and Peace by William A. Robson Pdf

In this short book the author has attempted to convey, in plain non-technical language, a general idea of the conditions under which aircraft is playing its part in the War, and also to indicate the chief directions in which it is developing. To the general public the War has revealed, in a startling manner, the wonderful potentialities which aircraft, and aeroplanes in particular, possess as weapons of war. But although there is at last plenty of enthusiasm for Aviation, there is still very little real knowledge of the vast possibilities which it offers. And, if we are to have an air force as proportionately powerful as our Navy is to-day—and it is absolutely essential that we should—a better and wider understanding will be most necessary. Today, for instance, people do not fully realise that aeroplanes, as well as airships, are still in their infancy, in spite of the extraordinary achievements which they have accomplished. Then, again, aircraft is at present regarded as being almost entirely for use in warfare, although, as a matter of fact, it will be of the utmost value for civil purposes in times of peace. The author does not pretend that book is in any way complete. Indeed, to attempt to be complete on the subject of Aviation is inevitably to be incomplete, so swiftly does it progress. His intention has been to make a brief survey of Aviation in its present-day position, and to show how important it is that in future it should receive a great deal more attention than hitherto.

Radar Men: A. P. Rowe and John Strath in War and Peace by Don Sinnott Pdf

World War II defined its heroes and villains. There are many books on national leaders like Churchill and Hitler, generals like Montgomery and Rommel. Less has been written about the civilian scientists, engineers, and technicians whose work produced military innovations that drove the direction and outcome of that terrible conflict. This book is a connected and interlaced narrative of two men who were World War II civilian scientists. It is a non-technical portrait of two twentieth-century life stories against a backdrop of war and peace, which are important in both historical context and as illustrations of the human condition lived in extraordinary circumstances. The lives of A. P. Rowe and John Strath intersected in the British development of radar in the 1930s and 1940s and then diverged into critical roles in Britain and Australia after the war. Rowe and Strath worked in Britains epic development of radar defences, without which the 1940 aerial Battle of Britain would have been lost. Rowe led what has been termed as one of the most successful research establishments of all time, focussed on the development and deployment of radar; Strath was a junior member of that establishment. After the war, both men moved to Australia where Rowe, after a short and unhappy involvement as lead scientific adviser on the development of Australia's Woomera rocket range and Australian defence, was for a decade a highly contentious vice chancellor of the University of Adelaide. Strath became involved in development of the British atomic weapon and monitoring of nuclear test effects in Australia and then became the prime mover for development of what is now Australias Jindalee Operational Radar Network, a major component of the countrys long-range defence surveillance.

A Liberal Chronicle in Peace and War by Cameron Hazlehurst,Christine Woodland Pdf

Jack Pease was at the heart of the British Liberal government from 1908 to 1915, holding the position of Chief Whip through two general elections, and a member of the Cabinet confronting domestic tumult, international tensions, and war. Pease was an unassuming participant in the deliberations of a unique gathering of political talent. His journals as President of the Board of Education from 1911 to the formation of the coalition ministry in 1915 are a closely observed, unvarnished record of what he saw and heard in Downing St and Westminster: constitutional and Home Rule crises, industrial conflict, electoral reform, women's suffrage controversies, struggles over budgets, naval estimates, and foreign policy. Despite his Quaker beliefs, Pease committed to supporting war against Germany, and his troubled conscience is laid bare in letters to his wife and friends. Replete with intimate portraits of his revered chief H. H. Asquith and the Prime Minister's social circle, the journals also provide evocative observations of the contest of ideas, arguments, and moods of prominent contemporaries, especially David Lloyd George as Chancellor of the Exchequer, Winston Churchill as Home Secretary then First Lord of the Admiralty, and Lord Kitchener as Secretary of State for War. Pease's candid accounts, augmented by the diaries and letters of others privy to Cabinet policy secrets and personal rivalries, reveal the stories not told in the Prime Minister's reports to the King. Together with the editors' biographical introduction, extensive explanatory commentaries, and bibliographical guidance, Pease's text provides a uniquely comprehensive understanding of Asquith's Liberal government in peace and war.
