Aircam aviation 12 - Mike Garbertt - Avro Lancaste r in unit service (1970).jpg

This is the story of one of the world's greatest fighting planes — the Avro 683 Lancaster.
The Lancaster was developed from a comparative failure, the Avro Manchester, an aircraft with a basically sound airframe, but whose performance was marred by the uncertain performance of its two Rolls Royce Vulture engines.
The Manchester had entered service in limited numbers in late 1940, but by the time the aircraft first operated in February 1941, it had already been realized that the resources and time needed to overcome its engine difficulties were more than could be spared. Britain's war fortunes — Bomber Command's in particular — were at a low ebb and there was a desperate need to carry the war much more to Germany than was possible with existing bombers.
It was decided, therefore, to try out four Merlin X engines in a Manchester, and a momentous decision it proved! The re-equipped machine, BT 308, a triple-linned version, first flew on 9th January, 1941, from Ringway, piloted by H. A. Brown. It was such an obvious success that contracts for the Manchester (which had not yet operated) were immediately revised.
The second prototype, DG 595, with the larger twin fins and more Powerful Merlin XX's, took to the air on May 13th, 1941, also from Ringway, and soon joined BT 308 at A. & A.E.E., Boscombe Down.
Lancaster production, using up Manchester airframes already under construction, started at L 7527.

Warpaint 34 - Tony Buttler - Avro Lincoln (2000).jpg

During World War 2 the Avro Lancaster established for itself an outstanding reputation as a heavy bomber. As one might expect its successor received, by comparison, relatively little publicity but it nevertheless performed well for many years in the RAF. RAAF and Fuerza Aerea Argentina. The aircraft in question was the Avro Type 694 Lincoln which was designed by Roy Chadwick. Avro's Chief Designer, who had also been responsible for its predecessors, the Manchester and Lancaster.

US Naval Aviation 1911-1986; A Pictorial Study (19 87).jpg

This pictorial history traces the evolution of Naval Aviation from its humble beginnings to its current role as an essential element of U.S. naval warfare. This is not intended to be an in-depth treatment. Rather, it is a short visual monograph designed to capture the essence of Naval Aviation and to convey to the reader something of the imagination, energy and commitment of those who have made the dream a reality.

Wendy Cole - Women Pilots Of World War II (1992).jpg

Collected by one of the forty-nine members of class 44-W-2, Jean Hascall Cole's interviews with her former classmates document their valuable contribution to the history of women, aviation, and the military. Women Pilots of World War II presents a rare look at the personal experiences of the Women Air Force Service Pilots (WASPs) by recording the adventures from one of eighteen classes of women to graduate from the Army Air Forces flight training school during World War II. This unique oral history verifies the flying accomplishments of these women pilots from as early as 1943. The women pilots of class 44-W-2 flew every type of aircraft, including heavy bombers, transports, and pursuits. Their experiences include crashes on takeoff, midair collisions, forced landings, parachute jumps from sabotaged aircraft, and many other exciting tales. Women Pilots of World War II starts with their training at Avenger Field in Sweetwater, Texas, follows them to their bases, and documents what happened once the WASP program was deactivated in December 1944. In conclusion, the pilots speculate on the changing roles of women in our society, the value of their service to their country, and their contribution to the women's movement and society in general.

Waffen-Arsenal 20 - Horst Scheibert - Heinkel He11 1 (1976).jpg

Im Frühjahr 1935, etwa zur selben Zeit, als Hitler der Welt die Vergrößerung der deutschen Streitkräfte bekanntgab, eine Wehrpflichtarmee schuf und sich den Kontrollen des Versailler Vertrages entzog, testeten die Heinkel-Werke ein neues Transportflugzeug. Dieses Flugzeug war auf der Grundlage einer Ausschreibung des Luftfahrtministeriums über ein Passagierflugzeug mit hoher Geschwindigkeit für 10 Passagiere entwickelt worden. Es erhielt die Bezeichnung: He 111. Professor Ernst Heinkels Flugzeug war ein zweimotoriger Tiefdecker, der eine Geschwindigkeit bis zu 396 km/h erreichte und damit schneller war als die meisten Kampfflugzeuge dieser Tage.
Obwohl die Maschine voll der Ausschreibung entsprach, wußte die Konstruktionsabteilung der Heinkel-Werke, daß nicht viele Aufträge für ein 10-sitziges Passagierflugzeug einlaufen würden, sondern hieraus ein Bomber werden sollte. So spielte es eine große Rolle bei der Konstruktion und Entwicklung des ersten Prototyps, soviel für ein Kampfflugzeug umwandelbare Bestandteile wie möglich in die Konstruktion des Flugzeugs aufzunehmen. Heinkel konnte hoffen, das zehnsitzige Passagierflugzeug später als neuen Luftwaffenbomber zu verkaufen. Und so kam es dann auch nach erfolgreichen Tests.
Das Flugzeug wurde als schnellstes Zivilflugzeug der Welt angekündigt, transportierte aber nie zahlende Passagiere. Als es die Luftwaffe getestet hatte, erhielt die Firma Heinkel den Auftrag, die "Kinderkrankheiten" des Flugzeuges zu beseitigen und mit der Herstellung als Bomber zu beginnen.

Crowood Aviation - Barry Jones - Avro Shackleton ( 2002).jpg

The Avro Shackleton was the final extension of a design idea that had been at the heart of Britain's most succssful wartime heavy bomber, the Lancaster. The Shackleton owed much of its design to the Lancaster and its relatives but it was designed not for bombing but for maritime reconnaissance. Barry Jones' history of this aircraft looks at the entire history of the Shackleton, and its service with the RAF and foreign air forces, tracing its lineage back to Avro designs of World War II, and the history of maritime reconnaissance aircraft and Coastal Command even further. This book should be welcomed by all fans of the aircraft and of maritime aviation in general.

About the Author
Barry Jones left the RAF to become an artist for the Inter Services Aircraft Recognition Journal followed by five years with Flight magazine and six years in the Technical Publication Dept at Vickers Armstrong. He is a regular contributor to Aeroplane Monthly. Avro Shackleton is his fifth title for Crowood.

Alvin B. Kernan - Crossing the Line; A Bluejacket' s Odyssey in World War II (2007).jpg

In this memoir of life aboard aircraft carriers during World War II, Alvin Kernan combines vivid recollections of his experience as a young enlisted sailor with a rich historical account of the Pacific war. Kernan served in many battles and was aboard the Hornet when it was sunk by torpedoes in the Battle of the Santa Cruz Islands.
“One of the most arresting naval autobiographies yet published.”—Sir John Keegan
“An honest story of collective courage, evocative, well-written, and fixed before the colors fade.”—Kirkus Reviews
“[Kernan] recounts a wonderful and exciting American story about a poor farm boy from Wyoming who enlisted in the Navy. . . .[He] has written eight other books. I will go back and read them all.”—John Lehman, Air & Space
“Details . . . make the moment vivid; that is what it was like, on the Hornet in its last hours.”—Samuel Hynes, New York Times Book Review

U.S. Naval Air Reserve (1987).jpg

August 29, 1986, marked the 70th anniversary of the U.S. Naval Air Reserve. On that day in 1916, the Naval Appropriations Act for fiscal year 1917 provided funds for the establishment of a naval flying corps and the purchase of 12 planes for the naval militia. Personnel for these units were drawn from various college flying clubs, the most prominent from Yale, organized by F. Trubee Davison. An energetic individual, Davison found 12 classmates, borrowed a Curtiss seaplane from the wealthy Wanamaker family in Philadelphia, and set about teaching himself and his club to fly.

Pen & Sword - Robert Jackson - Army Wings; A Histo ry of Army Air Observation 1914-1960 (2006).jpg

This is the fascinating story of army fixed-wing co-operation units who were made up of specially trained volunteer army personnel. These men were trained to fly, to reconnoiter across the front line in search of enemy forces and then guide artillery gunners onto the target. From its earliest days in World War I, small low-flying aircraft have flown unarmed into combat and relayed vital information to aid accurate fall of shot and to advise front-line ground troops of enemy strength and position. They were frequently attacked by fighter aircraft and had to avoid ground-fire, often flying below treetop height. They relied purely on flying skill to outwit the enemy and yet little is known of these unsung heroes of many wars. This book redresses the balance.

Waffen-Arsenal 93 - Heinz J Nowarra - Dornier Do-3 35 Pfeil (1985).jpg

Während des Ersten Weltkrieges, in den Jahren 1915/16, baute Claude Dornier in sein zweites Riesenflugboot Rs II vier 240 PS Maybach-Motoren paarweise in Tandem-Bauart ein und behielt dies auch bei den Folgemustern Rs III und Rs IV bei. Nach 1918 entstanden dann seine berühmten "Wal"-Flugboote und ihre Folgemuster, bei denen diese Motoren-Einbauweise immer wieder erfolgreich angewendet wurde. 1936 entstand das Flugboot Do 18, bei dem zum ersten Mal der hintere Motor des Motorentandems über eine Kurbelwellenverlängerung angetrieben wurde. Dies brachte ihn auf die Idee, daß man den Flugzeugführer auch zwischen die beiden Triebwerke setzen könnte. So entstand das Patent Nr. 728044 (Klasse 62b, Gruppe 303) vom 3. August 1937, auf dessen Grundlage Dornier den Schnellbomber P.59-04 entwickelte.

Vom Original zum Modell - K. H. Regnat - Dornier D o 335 (1999).jpg

Der Auslöser zum Entwurf des Projekts P.59 ist vermutlich in der 1936 entstandenen Do 18 zu suchen. Der Antrieb dieses Flugbootes verfügte über ein seltenes Merkmal: es handelte sich um Motoren in Tandem-Anordnung, wobei hier erstmals der rückwärtige Motor über eine Kurbelwellenverlängerung arbeitete. Dieses Merkmal war wohl »Vater des Gedankens«, den Flugzeugführer zwischen zwei Motoren zu plazieren, welche ihre Energie jeweils auf einen Druck- respektive Schubpropeller übertragen sollten. Auf dieser Grundlage entstand das Patent Nr. 728044, datiert vom 3. August 1937. Diese nun geschützte Konstruktionsart führte in direkter Linie zum Schnellbomberprojekt P.59-04. Bereits diese lediglich auf dem Reißbrett verwirklichte Konstruktion verfügte über die Grundzüge der späteren Do 335. Das P.59-04 diente in der Folge als Grundlage für das der Do 335 vorgelagerte Projekt P.231. Bis zur Verwirklichung des Endprodukts Do 335 war jedoch noch so manche Hürde zu überwinden. Hierzu Informationen an späterer Stelle. Wenden wir uns nun dem Aufbau des P.59-04 zu.
