Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Comprehensive biography of Anthony Fokker, the famed Dutch pilot and daredevil aviator Anthony Fokker: The Flying Dutchman Who Shaped American Aviation tells the larger-than-life true story of maverick pilot and aircraft manufacturer Anthony Fokker. Fokker came from an affluent Dutch family and developed a gift for tinkering with mechanics. Despite not receiving a traditional education, he stumbled his way into aviation as a young stunt pilot in Germany in 1910. He survived a series of spectacular airplane crashes and rose to fame within a few years. A combination of industrial espionage, luck, and deception then propelled him to become Germany's leading aircraft manufacturer during World War I, making him a multimillionaire by his midtwenties. When the German Revolution swept the country in 1918 and 1919, Fokker made a spectacular escape to the United States. He set up business in New York and New Jersey in 1921, and shortly thereafter became the world's largest aircraft manufacturer. The U.S. Army and Navy acquired his machines, and his factories equipped legendary carriers such as Pan American and TWA at the dawn of commercial air transport. Yet despite his astounding success, his empire collapsed in the late 1920s after a series of ill-conceived business decisions and deeply upsetting personal dramas. In 1927, aviator Richard Byrd solicited a Fokker three-engine plane to be the first to fly non-stop across the Atlantic. The plane was damaged on a test flight and Charles Lindbergh beat him to it. Lindbergh's solo adventure in the Spirit of St. Louis earned him--and cost Fokker--a lasting place in the history books. Using previously undiscovered records and primary sources, Marc Dierikx traces Fokker's extraordinary life and celebrates his spectacular achievements.

Book Synopsis Black Fokker Leader by : Peter Kilduff
Download or read book Black Fokker Leader written by Peter Kilduff and published by Grub Street Publishers. This book was released on 2009-05-19 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This biography of the WWI fighter pilot offers “an intimate portrait of the last recipient of the ‘Blue Max’” (Barrett Tillman). One of the most noteworthy German fighter pilots of World War I was Leutnant der Reserve Carl Degelow, whose squadron of mostly black Fokker D.VII fighters posed a formidable threat to some of Britain’s most celebrated air units on the Western Front. Black Fokker Leader, filled with new information and original photos, is based on the author’s research of significant German archival material and documentation, as well as British, French, and Belgian sources, shedding new light on this legendary ace. The biography offers previously unpublished material about Degelow and his comrades: how he was almost court-martialed; how his career was saved by Josef Jacobs; how Degelow helped Willy Rosenstein escape from Nazi Germany; and much more. Also included are new insights into men like Field Marshal Erhard Milch, Degelow’s wing commander in WWI; and V-2 rocket chief Gen. Hans Jeschonnek, a Degelow protégé in 1918.

Book Synopsis The Fokker-Planck Equation for Stochastic Dynamical Systems and Its Explicit Steady State Solutions by : C Soize
Download or read book The Fokker-Planck Equation for Stochastic Dynamical Systems and Its Explicit Steady State Solutions written by C Soize and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1994-05-16 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is an analysis of multidimensional nonlinear dissipative Hamiltonian dynamical systems subjected to parametric and external stochastic excitations by the Fokker-Planck equation method. The author answers three types of questions concerning this area. First, what probabilistic tools are necessary for constructing a stochastic model and deriving the FKP equation for nonlinear stochastic dynamical systems? Secondly, what are the main results concerning the existence and uniqueness of an invariant measure and its associated stationary response? Finally, what is the class of multidimensional dynamical systems that have an explicit invariant measure and what are the fundamental examples for applications?

Book Synopsis Fokker D.XXI Aces of World War 2 by : Kari Stenman
Download or read book Fokker D.XXI Aces of World War 2 written by Kari Stenman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-04-20 with total page 149 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Dutch D.XXIs saw less than a week of action following the German invasion of the west on 10 May 1940, with many of the country's 28 fighters being destroyed on the ground. However, those that survived the initial onslaught inflicted losses on the Luftwaffe. By then, however, the D.XXI had found everlasting fame in Finland during the Winter War of 1939-40. Proving itself a real thorn in the side of the Soviets, the fighter, operating in primitive conditions and against vastly superior numbers, Finnish D.XXIs racked up an incredible score against the Red Air Force. The D.XXI also has the distinction of producing the first 'ace in a single mission' in World War 2, when then 1Lt Jorma Sarvanto shot down six Ilyushin DB-3 bombers on 6 January 1940. After spending a year providing home defence and flying coastal patrols during the early stages of the Continuation War in 1941, all surviving Finnish Fokker D.XXIs were relegated to the reconnaissance role, which they performed through to the end of hostilities in September 1944.

Book Synopsis Fokker D VII Aces of World War 1 by : Norman Franks
Download or read book Fokker D VII Aces of World War 1 written by Norman Franks and published by Osprey Publishing. This book was released on 2003-03-25 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Designed in a great rush at the end of 1917 just in time to take part in the German standard fighter competition held in January/February 1918, the D VII easily walked away with first prize. As Germanys premier fighter unit, von Richthofens JG I (led by Hermann Göring in the wake of the 'Red Baron's' recent death) received the first examples of the D VII to reach the frontline in late April. Built to oppose the new generation of French SPAD XIIIs and British SE 5as and Camel fighters, the D VII was arguably the best all-round fighting scout of the Great War.
Book Synopsis Asymptotic Methods for the Fokker-Planck Equation and the Exit Problem in Applications by : Johan Grasman
Download or read book Asymptotic Methods for the Fokker-Planck Equation and the Exit Problem in Applications written by Johan Grasman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1999-03-08 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Asymptotic methods are of great importance for practical applications, especially in dealing with boundary value problems for small stochastic perturbations. This book deals with nonlinear dynamical systems perturbed by noise. It addresses problems in which noise leads to qualitative changes, escape from the attraction domain, or extinction in population dynamics. The most likely exit point and expected escape time are determined with singular perturbation methods for the corresponding Fokker-Planck equation. The authors indicate how their techniques relate to the Itô calculus applied to the Langevin equation. The book will be useful to researchers and graduate students.
Book Synopsis Fokker Dr I Aces of World War 1 by : Norman Franks
Download or read book Fokker Dr I Aces of World War 1 written by Norman Franks and published by Osprey Publishing. This book was released on 2001-08-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Undoubtedly the most famous fighter type to see service on either side during World War 1, the Fokker Dr I was a revelation when it entered service on the western front in 1917. Manfred von Richthofen's JG 1 'circus' was the first Jasta to completely re-equip with the new fighter, and in the skilled hands of its numerous aces the Dr I proved a formidable opponent. The Dr I remained in service on the Western Front until replaced by the superior Fokker D VII in May 1918. Just weeks prior to that, however, Germany's leading ace, the great 'Red Baron', had been killed at the controls of a Dr I.

Book Synopsis Nieuport 11/16 Bébé vs Fokker Eindecker by : Jon Guttman
Download or read book Nieuport 11/16 Bébé vs Fokker Eindecker written by Jon Guttman and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-04-20 with total page 82 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The appearance in July 1915 of the Fokker E I heralded a reign of terror over the Western Front that the Allies called the 'Fokker Scourge'. The French Nieuport 11 was one type desperately thrown into action to counter the Fokkers. The swirling dogfights between this fighter – and its more powerful but more unwieldy stablemate, the Nieuport 16 – and a succession of improved Fokkers, the E II, E III and E IV, came to symbolise air combat in World War I. This book gives a detailed look at the developmental history of the fighters, contrasting the interrupter gear-equipped Fokker with the more improvised solution incorporated in the Nieuport – a machine gun fitted to the upper wing to avoid the propeller entirely. The Germans went on to abandon the monoplane in favour of a new and deadly generation of biplane fighters, based on the lessons learned from these vicious engagements and influenced by the success of the French Nieuport.
Book Synopsis Langevin And Fokker-planck Equations And Their Generalizations: Descriptions And Solutions by : Kwok Sau Fa
Download or read book Langevin And Fokker-planck Equations And Their Generalizations: Descriptions And Solutions written by Kwok Sau Fa and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 2018-03-06 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This invaluable book provides a broad introduction to a rapidly growing area of nonequilibrium statistical physics. The first part of the book complements the classical book on the Langevin and Fokker–Planck equations (H. Risken, The Fokker–Planck Equation: Methods of Solution and Applications (Springer, 1996)). Some topics and methods of solutions are presented and discussed in details which are not described in Risken's book, such as the method of similarity solution, the method of characteristics, transformation of diffusion processes into the Wiener process in different prescriptions, harmonic noise and relativistic Brownian motion. Connection between the Langevin equation and Tsallis distribution is also discussed. Due to the growing interest in the research on the generalized Langevin equations, several of them are presented. They are described with some details. Recent research on the integro-differential Fokker–Planck equation derived from the continuous time random walk model shows that the topic has several aspects to be explored. This equation is worked analytically for the linear force and the generic waiting time probability distribution function. Moreover, generalized Klein-Kramers equations are also presented and discussed. They have the potential to be applied to natural systems, such as biological systems. Contents: Introduction Langevin and Fokker–Planck Equations Fokker–Planck Equation for One Variable and its Solution Fokker–Planck Equation for Several Variables Generalized Langevin Equations Continuous Time Random Walk Model Uncoupled Continuous Time Random Walk Model andits Solution Readership: Advanced undergraduate and graduate students in mathematical physics and statistical physics; biologists and chemists who are interested in nonequilibrium statistical physics. Keywords: Langevin Equation;Fokker-Planck Equation;Klein-Kramers Equation;Continuous Time Random Walk Model;Colored Noise;Tsallis Entropy;Population Growth Models;Wright Functions;Mittag-Leffler Function;Method of Similarity Solution;First Passage Time;Relativistic Brownian Motion;Fractional Derivatives;Integro-Differential Fokker-Planck EquationsReview: Key Features: This book complements Risken's book on the Langevin and Fokker-Planck equations. Some topics and methods of solutions are presented and discussed in details which are not described in Risken's book Several generalized Langevin equations are presented and discussed with some detail Integro-differential Fokker–Planck equation is derived from the uncoupled continuous time random walk model for generic waiting time probability distribution function which can be used to distinguish the differences for the initial and intermediate times with the same behavior in the long-time limit. Moreover, generalized Klein–Kramers equations are also described and discussed. To our knowledge these approaches are not found in other textbooks
