	Short Sunderland - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		After the first flight the aircraft was returned to the shop and a modified wing was installed with a 4.5° sweep to the rear, thereby moving the centre of pressure into a more reasonable position compared to the new centre of gravity.
		Although the wing loading was much higher than that of any previous RAF flying boat, a new flap system kept the takeoff run to reasonable length.
		By the outbreak of war in Europe, in September 1939, RAF Coastal Command was operating 40 Sunderlands.

	RAF History - Bomber Command 60th Anniversary
		No 189 Squadron, from Fulbeck, lost 4 of its 19 aircraft on the raid.
		No one has ever been able to discover how many people died but it is accepted that the number was greater than the 40,000 who died in the Hamburg firestorm and the Dresden figure may have exceeded 50,000.Bomber Command casualties were 6 Lancasters lost, with 2 more crashed in France and 1 in England.
		No results were seen by the bomber crews but the bombing caused severe destruction in the central and eastern districts of Mainz; this was the city's worst raid of the war.

	Welcome to AvWings
		The P-40 had no serious vices and was a pleasant aircraft to fly, and, when flown by an experienced pilot who was fully aware of its strengths and weaknesses, was able to give a good account of itself in aerial combat.
		No 112 Squadron became famous for its "shark's tooth" insignia on the engine cowling, and this scheme was later adopted by the American Volunteer Group in China.
		RAF serials were AH991/999, AK100/570 (36 of this batch were shipped to China and were selected at random with no particular sequence), AM370/519 (64 were shipped to China, selected at random), and AN218/517.

	Curtiss XNBS-4 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		A new and thicker Curtiss C-72 airfoil replaced the RAF 15 airfoil of the NBS-1.
		The bomb-aimer's position was built into an offset on the port side of the fuselage instead of under the nose gunner's position as was the usual position.
		One of the XNBS-4s was modified by having each engine nacelle extended aft of the wing trailing edge so that it could accommodate a defensive gunner position in the rear.

	Combined Arms in battle since 1939
		There was no threat on the horizon, none at least the American people wanted to notice, and so there was no pressing or overt reason for those inside the Army to worry much about maintaining its warlike proficiency.
		No one coordinated with the Second TAF to interdict German reinforcement of the Arnhem area.
		No matter how soundly it is based on past experience and solid staff work, there are no guarantees that it will achieve success.

	E-3 Sentry - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Due to the Boeing 707 aircraft no longer being in production the E-3 mission package has been fitted into a Boeing 767 for the Japan Air Self Defence Force.
		It is planed to replace the United States operated E-3 (along with the RC-135 and the E-8 Joint STARS) by the E-10 MC2A, based upon the Boeing 767-400ER airframe.
		Based in Geilenkirchen, Germany, 18 E-3 AWACS were purchased.(One lost in Greece) All of these aircraft are officially registered as aircraft of Luxembourg, a NATO member with no other Air Force.

	Army in India & Frontier Warfare 1914 - 1939 :: Khyber.ORG
		The use of the RAF in co-operation with troops was discussed and it even went on to cover the employment of tanks in hill warfare, although they were still unavailable in India.
		No radical changes were made by the General Staff in the system of periodic relief of units stationed in the NWFP or the training methods used by the Army in India apart from greater emphasis on light infantry training.
		This decision had strengthened Wing Commander John Slessor's - CO of No. 3 (Indian Wing) - growing conviction that a radical change should be made in the system of army co-operation used in India, as the existing ‘Aldershot model’- devised for conventional European warfare - was largely ineffective in mountainous terrain [58].

	Interactive Fly, Drosophila
		However, no conclusive evidence has been found to support this idea, since the additional effectors of Rap1 identified in the yeast two-hybrid screen have not been investigated for their role in DC (Boettner, 2003).
		In the Drosophila wing disc epithelium, Echinoid is a component of adherens junctions that cooperates with DE-Cadherin in cell adhesion.
		It is suggested that in the epithelium of the wing disc, Baz localizes to AJs by the combined effects of its binding to Ed/Arm and the lateral exclusion of PAR-1/14-3-3.

	U.S. v. Norfleet
		The AFLSA was attached to the 11th Wing at Bolling AFB for host support, and the 11th Wing Commander was the convening authority for courts-martial involving AFLSA personnel.
		The court added that even if not waived, there was no requirement for the forwarding commander to submit a recommendation since the case was being forwarded to a parallel commander rather than a superior commander.
		Under Article 26(c), the military judge "shall be designated for detail" to preside over specific courts-martial by "the Judge Advocate General, or his designee," and must be assigned to an organization "directly responsible to the Judge Advocate General, or his designee" in which his or her "primary duty" is to serve as a military judge.

		And no inventory of warplanes was ever so thoroughly examined as Germany's, by its enemies to apply its secrets to their own aircraft.
		The Fw 283 carried two ramjet engines on the tips of its swept-back tailplane; a liquid fuel rocket in the tail would have accelerated the Fw 283 to the operating speed of the ramjets.
		The J I had no outboard struts, but the attachment of the wings to the fuselage was rather complicated.

	The Invention Of The Helicopter
		This is a toy with a rotor blade mounted on a stick, and spinning the stick between the palms of the hands or by pulling a string wound around it causes it to soar into the air.
		The flight lasted about a minute and went no higher than a meter, as the machine was held down to the ground by four men.
		The RAF obtained a similar variant with external litters for casualty evacuation as the "Dragonfly HC.2".

		The southern wing of the building sustained damage, but as the day wore on it became increasingly apparent to Gen. Dalton that the guns were not having the required effect.

	The Short Sunderland Flying Boat
		The wing, as mentioned, had been modified after the first flight of the S.25 prototype, being swept back 4.25 degrees to compensate for the heavy tail turret, and as a result the Sunderland's engines and wing floats were canted slightly out from the aircraft's centerline.
		ASV Mark III operated in the centimetric band and used antennas mounted in blisters under the wings outboard of the floats, instead of the cluttered stickleback aerials.
		There are no porcupines in Germany, only hedgehogs, which are much smaller than porcupines, only superficially similar in appearance, and almost completely unrelated.

		We are using the fruitfly, Drosophila melanogaster, to this end, but with a twist: rather than starting with the traits and working back to genes, we are starting with interesting sets of genes and exploring their association with candidate traits.
		The developmental genetic arm of the lab is studying the effect of genes involved in Ras-mediated signal transduction on components of wing shape, and modification of photoreceptor determination.
		DNA sequence analysis reveals that there is almost no polymorphism in the central components of signal transduction (Gasperini and Gibson), so we are focusing on upstream regulators and downstream targets as sources of phenotypic variation.

		Flight tests in a PBY of radar utilizing a duplexing antenna switch; thereby, the necessity for cumbersome "yagi" antenna no longer existed, a factor which contributed substantially to the reliability airborne radar.
		The Gorgon was later expanded into a broad program embracing turbojet, ramjet, pulse jet, and rocket power; straight wing, swept wing, and canard (tail first) air frames; and visual, television, heat-homing, and three types of radar guidance for use as air-to-air, air-to-surface and surface-to-surface guided missiles and as target drones.

		Eric Arnett, Dec 01, 1997, pp 12-14 Although Iran is no model citizen, the author argues that Iran is not like Iraq and that the Clinton administration's policy of dual containment, categorizing both as "rogue states" that need to be isolated diplomatically and economically, will most certainly unravel any attempt at arms control.
		Despite warnings from top defense officials and experts, there is no serious movement to make this an issue at future arms control talks.

	Martin B-26 Marauder
		Removal of the white segments of the invasion stripes on the upper surfaces (exposing the dull primer) was adopted by some American crews in the interests of camouflage from enemy fighter attention.
		However, the RAF repeated the criticisms voiced elsewhere, and these were confirmed by trials with an aircraft in the United Kingdom, with the result that deliveries to the Middle East were stockpiled at Maintenance Units and No. 14 Squadron for many months remained the only RAF Marauder-equipped squadron, persevering with their aircraft until September 1944.
		Both featured the long-span wings but the wing incidence was increased by 3.5°: this was considered by most pilots to improve take-off and landing characteristics and certainly resulted in better approach handling, but sharply reduced the maximum speed to 277 mph (446 km/h).
