Article Snippets
Warren Goodman begins an account of his wartime experiences as a US Navy pilot, recalling his initial training on N3Ns, Vought Kingfishers and Curtiss Seamews. Gunter Endres details the history of Czechoslovakian Air Lines in the first of a two-part feature, and Marcus Langley reminisces on 50 years in the aviation industry. Eric Morgan describes the Vickers Vireo of 1927, Britain's first monoplane carrier fighter, and Patrick Abbott recounts the world's first air disaster, when a balloon of the "Roziere" type, utilising both hot air and hydrogen, caught fire and crashed with its two aeronauts in June 1785. The Comper Streak racer is described in number ten of our British pre-war ultra-lights series, and the centre-spread is another gem from Charles E. Brown's camera.
