Book Synopsis De Havilland Moths In Detail by : Stuart McKay
Download or read book De Havilland Moths In Detail written by Stuart McKay and published by Herridge & Sons Limited. This book was released on 2010-11-01 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Moth was designed to be the airplane for the man in the street: affordable, simple and safe and it inspired a world-wide revolution in club flying, civil and military training and private ownership. The DH60 Moth of 1925 led to a family of light airplanes which continued to evolve and sell all over the world until the very eve of the Second World War when most private flying came to an abrupt end. The DH82A Tiger Moth, icon of military pilot training throughout the conflict, became the standard aircraft for post-war flying clubs in many countries and effectively invented the new industry of agricultural aviation. In the heady days of pre-war civil aviation, de Havilland Moth aircraft were supported by a universal network of agents supplying spares and technical assistance. They were used for racing and record breaking, flights of extreme courage and endurance and small airline activities This new book outlines the early days of the de Havilland Aircraft Company and studies the evolution of each of the Moth family of light airplanes and their engines which took place between 1925 and 1939.

Download or read book The Tiger Moth Story written by Alan Bramson and published by Crecy. This book was released on 2020-05-05 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Tiger Moth is one of the major aviation success stories in the history of British aviation. Developed by Geoffrey de Havilland and flown for the first time on October 26 1931, the biplane became the most important elementary trainer used by Commonwealth forces. More than 1,000 Tiger Moths were delivered before WWII, and subsequently around 4,000 were built in the UK with an extra 2,000 being manufactured in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. Following the end of WWII, pilots could buy and modify a Tiger Moth for recreational use or agricultural crop spraying and use it relatively cheaply. This, combined with its popularity within the aero club movement, provided employment for the Tiger Moths until the late fifties when the more modern closed cockpit aircraft began to force them into retirement. This new edition provides a comprehensive account of the aircraft's origins and its development as a trainer of Commonwealth pilots in times of peace and war. It also looks at some of the other roles which this versatile little aeroplane performed such as a crop duster, glider tug, aerial advertiser, bomber, coastal patrol plane and aerial ambulance. Technical narrative and drawings, handling ability and performance as seen through the eyes of the pilots combine to make The Tiger Moth Story the most comprehensive book of the aircraft.

Book excerpt: Ken Follett and the intrigue of World War II—"a winning formula" (Entertainment Weekly) if ever there was one. With his riveting prose and unerring instinct for suspense, the #1 New York Times bestselling author takes to the skies over Europe during the early days of the war in a most extraordinary novel. . . . It is June 1941, and the war is not going well for England. Somehow, the Germans are anticipating the RAF's flight paths and shooting down British bombers with impunity. Meanwhile, across the North Sea, eighteen-year-old Harald Olufsen takes a shortcut on the German-occupied Danish island of Sande and discovers an astonishing sight. He doesn't know what it is, but he knows he must tell someone. And when he learns the truth, it will fall upon him to deliver word to England—except that he has no way to get there. He has only an old derelict Hornet Moth biplane rusting away in a ruined church—a plane so decrepit that it is unlikely to ever get off the ground . . . even if Harald knew how to fly it. Look out for Ken's newest book, A Column of Fire, available now.
Book Synopsis De Havilland DH. 60 Moth by : Stuart McKay
Download or read book De Havilland DH. 60 Moth written by Stuart McKay and published by Midland Publishing. This book was released on 2005 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book follows on from Midland's earlier successful book on the De Havilland Tiger Moth and examines the history of the DH60 Moth, which was first built in the 1920s and was one of the most significant aircraft built up to that time. In the 1920s the Air Ministry, aware of the need to encourage an interest in flying in order to have a base of potential recruits for the RAF in a time of crisis, produced specifications for an aircraft which could be used by flying clubs which it was subsidizing. The officially backed prototypes were not favored, and it was de Havilland's freelance DH.60 Moth which first flew in February 1925 that proved ideal. The Moth quickly became the ideal private owners' airplane. As the efficiency of production increased, engines were improved and the cost of the aircraft dropped. To the DH60 Moth can be directly attributed the beginning of the flying club movement in many parts of the world and the growth of private ownership of light aircraft which is still flourishing today. Moths were built under license in France, Sweden, Finland, and the USA. They were raced, aerobatted in formation, used by most long-distance pilots of the 1920s and 30s seeking to create records, flown on floats and skis and used worldwide by air forces and government agencies. The successful Gipsy engine was designed specifically for the DH60 Moth, and in 1927 the Moth's wooden airframes evolved into metal structures which spawned the Tiger Moth. This book will appeal to members of the Moth Club, to the many round the world who have flown or operated the airplane, and to those interested in aviation history. The content focuses on the early days of the Moth and its pivotal role with the early flying club days, but the story of this successful aircraft is carried through to the present day which sees many examples of this historic and seminal aircraft still taking to the skies.
Download or read book Hoki to Haast written by Richard J. Waugh and published by . This book was released on 2009-12 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New Zealand's first licensed airline to fly scheduled services, operated the Hokitika to Haast route on the scenic West Coast of the South Island. Air Travel (NZ) Ltd was launched in 1934 by legendary pilot Bert Mercer, the first Kiwi to achieve 10,000 flying hours. The airline also pioneered airmail, air-ambulance, alpine tourist flying and versatile freight work. Illustrated by many rare photographs this book tells the story of de Havilland Fox Moths, Dragonflies and Dominies and how these biplanes became indispensable to the isolated people of South Westland. The sturdy fabric covered, wooden and wire aircraft flew in demanding weather, mostly fully loaded, to landing strips on beaches, riverbeds and in the bush. After Mercer's tragic death, National Airways Corporation (NAC) and West Coast Airways continued the air service with Chief Pilots Norm Suttie, Frank Molloy and Brian Waugh. The world's longest running de Havilland biplane air service lasted until 1967; an unforgettable mix of excitement and routine, romance and tragedy, ably demonstrating the growing role of aviation for ordinary New Zealanders.
Book Synopsis Red Star and Roundel by : Phil Wilkinson
Download or read book Red Star and Roundel written by Phil Wilkinson and published by Fonthill Media. This book was released on 2019-11-03 with total page 659 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Red Star and the Roundel are the symbols of organisations that share a century of existence, a century with a full quota of conflict as well as harmony. The Russian red star has maintained its impact in the hundred years since the Revolution. The Royal Air Force's red white and blue roundel has seen action in the air world-wide for the same period. Phil Wilkinson had forty years of Royal Air Force service--the final three and a half were in Russia. With this unusual double qualification, he examines the dynamics of the Russia-RAF relationship, sometimes as allies, sometimes as adversaries. Drawing on personal reminiscences, and on the recollections of surviving veterans of RAF service in Russia during the Second World War, as well as on official records from throughout this shared century, the narrative is sometimes light-hearted, sometimes sombre. It goes from brutal combat in the early years, to language difficulties later on; from innocent misunderstandings to deliberate deception; from cultural contrasts to aesthetic links. Perhaps the narrative's most worthwhile effect will be to draw the reader's comment: "Well, I didn't know that before." There is still a lot to learn--a century's worth.

Book Synopsis De Havilland Aircraft Since 1909 by : Aubrey Joseph Jackson
Download or read book De Havilland Aircraft Since 1909 written by Aubrey Joseph Jackson and published by Putnam Aeronautical Books. This book was released on 1987 with total page 544 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The de Havilland Aircraft Company was founded in 1920, but had its origins with the first steps in biplane design made by Geoffrey de Havilland, who in 1908 left his job with the Motor Omnibus Construction Company to embark on a career as an aeroplane designer. During the First World War, his D.H. 4 bomber design was supplied in hundreds to both the Royal Flying Corps and the United States Army Air Service. A D.H.4 variant was also the first aeroplane to provide a passenger service, between Paris and London. The tradition built on the reputation of de Havilland's work during the First World War, also provided the foundation for some of the most popular aircraft for civil and military aviation - the D.H.60 G Gipsy Moth, the D.H.71 Tiger Moth, the D.H.98 Mosquito light bomber, and the D.H.106 Comet are all storied names in the history of British aviation. The story that unfolds in these pages also includes the tragic death of Geoffrey de Havilland's son, Geoffrey Jr., a test pilot killed flying the De Havilland D.H.108. The late A J Jackson had a particular affection for de Havilland aircaft and was particularly fond of flying Tiger Moths. He is also the author of Avro Aircraft since 1908 and Blackburn Aircraft since 1909 (both Putnam).
