Armed Forces - a7a1 - British Army - Army Aviaiton - Summary - The Army Air Corps (AAC) - Army Air Corps Regimental ... The AAC battlefield helicopter fleet has accumulated a vast amount of operational experience in recent years, and is arguably a more capable force than that possessed by any other European nation. AAC manpower is believed to number some 2,000 personnel of all ranks, including about 500 officers. The AAC Centre at Middle Wallop in Hampshire acts as a focal point for all Army Aviation, and it is here that the majority of corps training is carried out. www.armedforces.co.uk /army/listings/l0051.html   (1236 words)

The Air Observation Post Squadrons Homepage As no official provision had been made for this, volunteers from the Squadrons' Army and RAF groundcrews carried out this duty when needed. Eventually it was agreed that the Army should take over full responsibility for the air OP Squadrons together with the light liaison flights which had been formed from the former Glider Pilot Regiment and in 1957 these were all incorporated in a new Army Air Corps. Direction of artillery fire remained an important role of the new corps and its squadrons retained the former air OP squadron numbers and crests, which are still in use today. www.aaca.org.uk /aop.htm   (1202 words)

RAF Shawbury - 6 Flt AAC A major consequence of the formation the Army Air Corps in 1957 was the loss of its helicopters, which were retained by the RAF, and the re-titling of the unit as No 6 Independent Flight, equipped - from 1958 onwards - with 3 Auster Mk 6 and 3 Mk 9s. Re-designated No 6 Liaison/Depot Flight in 1959, the unit gradually assumed a trials role while maintaining its VIP liaison role.

Martin B-26 Marauder During the last years of the 1930s the US Army Air Corps was singularly poorly equipped with medium bombers, dependence being laid almost exclusively upon the aged Douglas B-18 and Martin B-10, neither of which possessed the performance, bomb load or defensive armament comparable with modern aircraft in service in Europe. 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. www.b26.com /page/great_aircraft.htm   (2030 words)

G The villain was actually the spirit of Luther Jarvis, the only casualty of 13 Squadron during World War I. Jim Corrigan (the Earthly host of The Spectre) investigated an emergency call from 13 Squadron's meeting chamber, as the entire membership had disappeared from a locked roomed 24 stories above the street. At Castle Krieg, the aces of 13 Squadron were forced to watch the best of them, The Major, fight an aerial dogfight with the Ghost Pilot, who was being assisted by the spectral Flash. This is obviously a different sort of engineer, and no mention is made of how this is at odds with the previous engineering position he held; but it marks the start of Scott's climb up the ladder in the broadcast industry. obscure.dcuguide.com /g.htm   (13919 words)
