	History of Naval Aviation Ordnance
		An aviation designation for Gunner's Mates who had qualified as aviation armament and munitions technicians, and were attached to an aviation activity, were so identified by appropriate entries in their service records.
		The Aviation Ordnanceman rating was established at all four petty officer grades of Chief, First, Second and Third Class on March 2, 1926 as a rating within the Aviation Branch.
		The Aviation Ordnanceman rating was filled initially from qualified personnel serving primarily with the ratings of Gunner's Mate and Torpedoman (assigned to aviation).

	Aviation term paper
		The Army Aviation School was responsible for a new manual covering the organization and operation of Army aviation transport units.
		By June 1955 the Infantry School completed and circulated the new draft manual, FM 57-35, Army Transport Aviation Combat Operations.
		This was a significant milestone as the difficulty of executing an air mobile operation without a proper tactical manual was apparent during an exercise in May 1954.By this time tactical air mobility also became a more common part of Army exercises.

		When the first issue of Approach appeared in July 1955, naval aviation was undergoing a period of great transition that had begun just after World War II.
		A completely new area of naval aviation was the space program, with several naval aviators among the initial group of astronauts chosen to make this country’s first sub-orbital, then orbital flights, beginning in May 1961.
		Besides the first publication of safety magazines, such as Approach, the Navy also reconfigured its safety program, establishing the Naval Aviation Safety Activity in 1951—it was redesignated the Naval Aviation Safety Center in 1955—then the Naval Safety Center (NSC) in May 1968.

	TIME.com: The Stapp -- Apr. 11, 1955 -- Page 1
		Aviation medicine has long felt the need for a new unit to express the force of one G (the acceleration of gravity) acting on a body for one second.
		At Holloman Air Development Center, New Mexico, where men are exposed to Gs for experimental purposes, the experimenters got in the habit of calling the needed unit a "jerk" or "jolt." A man who had taken four Gs for 20 seconds, for instance, was said to have taken 80 jolts.
		Colonel Stapp has joined the select company of men, e.g., Watt, Volta, Ampere,* whose names have been given to a physical unit of measurement.
