	world war i - Article and Reference from OnPedia.com
		World War I, also known as the First World War, the Great War, the War of the Nations, and the War to End All Wars, was a world conflict occurring from 1914 to 1918.
		World War I proved to be the decisive break with the old world order, marking the final demise of absolutist monarchy in Europe.
		The defeat of Germany in the war and failure to resolve the unsettled issues that had caused the Great War would lay the basis for the rise of Nazism, and thus the outbreak of World War II in 1939.

		Later, the North American airframe was mated with the British Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, and this combination resulted in one of the outstanding fighter aircraft of World War II The Merlin was a liquid-cooled engine that employed 12 cylinders arranged in a V-configuration and was equipped with a two-speed two-stage gear-driven supercharger.
		The aircraft was used in all theaters of operation during World War II, was called into use by the U.S. Air Force again during the Korean War, and was used by a number of foreign air forces for many-years.
		It was the standard carrier-based fighter employed by the U.S. Navy from mid-1943 until the end of World War II and accounted for the destruction of nearly 5000 enemy aircraft in air-to-air combat.

	Dark Zen - Zen Holy War?
		In 1896 as the war with China began, he wrote, "religion should, first of all, seek to preserve the existence of the state." Like his teacher, he saw the enemies of Japan as "unruly heathens" who needed to be tamed and conquered or who would otherwise "interrupt the progress of humanity.
		And the war is too recent, he says, "too alive" and "too fresh." It would be disrespectful to their senior priests to talk of such matters while they are alive.
		Through a compassionate war, warring nations are able to improve themselves and war is able to exterminate itself " During this period, millions of Chinese were dying and cities were being decimated.

		It was built to an Army Air Corps specification issued in 1938, but the emergency situation early in World War II resulted in the plane being shipped to the British (who called it the Boston) and the French before it began to turn up in American squadrons.
		It was modern for its day, with a tricycle landing gear which allowed quicker takeoffs and gave it better handling characteristics on the ground.
		When the war revealed a desperate need for an American night fighter, some A-20s were fitted with a primitive airborne intercept radar set and a set of four 20mm cannon in a belly pack.

		Notions that a future war could be fought with American aid and assistance, but without actual combat participation, dwindled as Panzer and Luftwaffe units crushed Poland in September of 1939 and overwhelmed the European continent in May and June of 1940, bringing the Nazi military threat directly to the shores of the channel.
		As the nation began its buildup for World War II, the Air Corps had to streamline its pilot training program to meet the anticipated need for a large number of pilots capable of operating aircraft that were becoming increasingly more complex.
		The Marauder was procured off-the-drawing board early in World War II and went through a trial-and-error period during combat that revealed performance deficiencies, including instability at low-speeds.

		Because many materials were scarce or unavailable during the war, scientists in the Materials Laboratory were involved in developing and testing a number of substitutes, including synthetic rubber for tires, nylon for parachutes, and plastic for canopies.
		World War II saw the evolution of cargo planes that could move men and equipment into a three-theater war.
		An executive transport version, the C-54C, was used by such world leaders as Prime Minister Winston Churchill; and President Franklin D. Roosevelt, whose plane was known as the "Sacred Cow," and is on display at the Air Force Museum.

	Tricycle (spy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tricycle was the codename of both Dušan "Duško" Popov (Душан Попов) (1912 Titel, Serbia - 1981 Opio, Alpes-Maritimes, France) and the spy network with which he was involved.
		Fleming worked in British naval intelligence during World War II and was detailed to trail the charismatic spy, who was eventually recruited to work as a double agent for the British.
		In truth, his earlier codename Scout was changed to Tricycle when he appointed two sub agents ("Balloon" and "Gelatine"), thus acting as the three wheels of a tricycle.) Popov was a worthy predecessor to the fictional spy James Bond.

		The 'Flying Tigers', the second World War's most famous outfit, were a group of volunteer pilots from the peacetime States' armed forces, flying American planes that were to be sent to the British.
		"At the outset of World War 1 the British had some 110 assorted aircraft, used mostly in the visual reconnaissance role." This text, by Christopher Shores, details the race to develop the fighter in World War 1 and the amazing success of the British, especially with the Sopwith Camel, RAF S.E.5, and the Bristol F.2B.
		The American fliers of the first World War were composed of three catagories - the Lafayette Flying corps, the volunteers with the British who flew in the Royal Flying Corps, or those who joined the US Air Service after April 6th, 1917.

	World War II Aircraft - Consolidated PBY Catalina
		The Catalina was created in response to the U.S. Navy's 1933 request for a prototype to replace the Consolidated P2Y and the Martin P3M with a new patrol-bomber flying boat with extended range and greater load capacity.
		Because of their worldwide popularity, there was scarcely a maritime battle in WW II in which they were not involved.
		It was slow, with a maximum speed of 288 km/h, and with no crew armor or self-sealing tanks, and it was highly vulnerable to anti-aircraft attack.

	General Aviation Flying - Different Kinds & Types of Aircraft
		Before World War II, most airplanes had their two main landing gear and wheels — otherwise known as "the mains" — toward the front of the airplane and a small tailwheel under the tail.
		After World War II, the industry began to make widespread use of a design that put the two main landing gear a bit further back on the aircraft under the wing, with a steerable nosewheel in the front.
		The result resembles the arrangement one would see on a child's tricycle, hence the term "tricycle gear." These airplanes sit level on the ground and are easier to operate than a taildragger.

		Dusko Popov, codenamed "Tricycle" for his liking for three-in-a-bed sex romps, was recruited by Britain as a double agent during World War II after having earlier agreed to work for the Germans, British intelligence papers released on Wednesday by the UK's Public Record Office show.
		"Tricycle's stay in America was not, on the whole, a happy one," a report from Britain's overseas intelligence service said.
		"Tricycle and Simone Simon appear to have been genuinely attached to each other and he obviously missed her greatly on coming to England, although he was not long in seeking to console himself elsewhere," the report added.

		From the start of World War II, in 1939, to its conclusion six years later, military aircraft developed from prewar biplanes such as the Gloster Gladiator, to classic aircraft-the Messerschmitt Me 109 and the P-51 Mustang-and on to the age of jet warplanes-the Arado Ar 234 and the Gloster Meteor.
		On the eve of World War II in Europe in September 1939, the air forces of the world were largely equipped with biplane fighters, bombers and transport aircraft.
		If a reader is looking for a quick reference guide on World War II aircraft, this slightly oversized book gives basic information about and a good idea of what a particular aircraft looked like.
