History of Aviation

The first manned flight took place on December 17, 1903, when Orville and Wilbur Wright successfully flew their aircraft, the Wright Flyer, in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Orville piloted the first flight, which lasted 12 seconds and covered 120 feet. This historic event marked the beginning of human aviation.

Jean Batten represented New Zealand.

Amelia had many occupations in life. She was a designer, a counsellor, a writer, a consultant for an airline and a Vice President of another airline.

She was trying to find Howland Island

I don't believe Amelia had any enemies, by all accounts she was very friendly person.

An important feature of the Lancaster was its unobstructed, 33 ft long, bomb bay. At first, the heaviest bomb carried was the 4,000 lb high capacity HC "Cookie". Bulged doors were added to 30% of B Is to allow the aircraft to carry 8,000 lb and later 12,000 lb "Cookies". The Lancaster also carried a variety of smaller weapons, including the Small Bomb Container (SBC) which held 236 4 lb or 24 30 lb incendiary and explosive incendiary bomblets; 500 lb and 1,000 lb General Purpose High Explosive (GP/HE) bombs (these came in a variety of designs); 1,850 lb parachute deployed magnetic or acoustic mines, or 2,000 lb armour-piercing (AP) bombs; 250 lb Semi-Armour-Piercing (SAP) bombs, used up to 1942 against submarines; post 1942: 250 lb (110 kg) or 500 lb anti-submarine depth charges.

The first American to achieve suborbital flight was Alan Shepard. He flew aboard the Freedom 7 spacecraft on May 5, 1961, reaching a maximum altitude of about 116 miles (187 kilometers) before safely returning to Earth. This historic flight made Shepard the first American in space, albeit briefly, and marked a significant milestone in the early days of the U.S. space program.

I don't think that is a correct assessment. She was never very rebellious.

Samuel Pierpoint Langley, head of the Smithsonian, coined the term (Aerodrome) for his off looking tandem-winged craft, the unmanned models flew well, the problem arose when upscaling to manned craft. Langley"s engineer, Charles Manley devised a Five cylinder Radial engine ahead of its time and known as Manley"s motor marvel. Bakc to Aerodrome, derived from Greek-Based words for Air and roughly, Highway, in a sense-Airline or airliner. the British continue to use the term Aerodrome for an airfield or airport in the modern sense. Aerodrome is not used in the US, except in the historical sense regarding the Langley craft. The first aircraft carrier in the USN was named in his honor- U.S.S. Langley as was the Virginia Air Force/CIA base.

Time management is really self management. You can not manage time, only yourself. People do not realize time management systems actually take time, so unless they improve your efficiency to a greater amount than they cost, it is counter productive. Time wasters are obvious, anything that keeps you from efficiently getting your needed work done. Try to keep your time management simple so you will stick to it and see benefits.

Because they met headwinds at the start of the final flight, causing more fuel burn in the engines.

6,178 Halifaxes were built. They served all through WW2 , being very popular with Canadian, Australian and New Zealand Air Forces.

Wiley post died in a crash in Alaska, while on a record breaking flight.

Anita Snook and Paul Mantz were the people who taught her to fly.

On her long flights Amelia liked to pack boiled eggs and tomato juice.

No she died a long long long long time ago. That means that her husband died unless he can somehow live forever.

Jean Batten was a New Zealand aviator that took a number or record breaking flights in the 1930's. Her most famous quote is, "Every flyer who ventures across the oceans to distant lands is a potential explorer; his or her breast burns the same fire that urged the adventurers of old to set forth in their sailing-ships for foreign lands. Riding through the air on silver wings instead of sailing the seas with white wings, he must steer his own course, for the air is uncharted, and he must therefore explore for himself the strange eddies and currents of the ever-changing sky in many moods. "

We know it best for the one which was shot down in Mogadishu, Somalia in the early 1990's

I have read what appear to be the complete combat records of the 99th, 100th, 301 st and 302nd Squadrons, and can find no mention at all of Peter Whittaker. This does not mean he wasn't a member of the Tuskegee Airmen, but simply that he did nothing to warrant naming him in the combat logs of the units. His name is listed in the Graduating Pilots list as

-Whittaker, Peter H. 44-C-SE 3/12/1944 2nd Lt. 0824845 Detroit MI. - - This means he graduated as a pilot in December 1944 and would then have gone to a combat unit in early 1945. Unfortunately no further information has been found yet.
