This book is often in school’s libraries, usually checked out by 5th-9th graders. The cover of this book has a picture of a dog (with a very alarming look on his face) behind a fence.

The author, Sean Gregory, in “The Perilous Fight,” talks about the political issue that has been going on for the past year, the issue started when a professional football player from the San Francisco 49ers team, also known as  Colin Kaepernick, kneeled down when the National anthem for the United States of America was played at the beginning of a game. Kaepernick’s justification for this, was that this was his way of protesting unfair treatment of individuals because of racial characteristics. Since racism, discrimination, and gender inequalities have been going on for centuries, I agree on the matter of sports players being able to  kneel down when the anthem, “Star spangled Banner,” is being played because these people are trying to stand up for what they believe is right, and they should be allowed to protest because it is serving as a peaceful way to protest for people who are being unjustly treated. Racism and discrimination often leads to these individuals who are suffering to be judged, killed, and many other harsh things that should not be taking place in the “land of the free.” We as Americans are given so many great things, and people think about the United States they usually think of  freedom, pursuit of happiness, and the rights of being a U.S. citizen, but how can we exercise those given rights properly, when t the government does not let us by putting limitations and restrictions on how we use our rights?  When it's

Introduction In the 20th-century Canada in support of its closest ally “Great Britain” participated in two world wars. These were wars with new technology, specifically the “fixed wing aircraft” which gave birth to a new battlefield “the sky”. This changed the tactics of previous wars, the airplane was capable of many duties; ranging from aerial reconnaissance to ground attack to the tactical and strategic bombing, both by day and night. Canada did not start with an Air Force, however was a major player in the battle for the sky. This synopsis will discuss the role Canada played in the training of Air Force Personnel from World War One (WWI) through World War Two (WWII).

Antiaircraft in the early twentieth century comes out of a rich pedigree of coastal defense and to a lesser degree field artillery. To trace air defense artillery’s

In today’s world, the use of airplanes in wars or in everyday life has become a part of how we live as human beings. Removing the air forces of the world is like taking a step back in time when wars were only fought on land or sea. WWI began only eleven short years after the Wright brothers achieved powered flight in 19031 and yet aircrafts were being used for surveillance and eventually combat purposes. It is understood that these aircrafts were primitive, but they laid down the foundation for what we know today as fighter jets. The Fokker Eindecker “revolutionized air combat by successfully employing a synchronized forward -firing machine gun mounted on the engine cowling”2. Because this airplane became the first to successfully use a

The First World War was monumental in history because of all the new technology that was introduced. One particular area that developed during the Great War was the use of airplanes by the German and Allied militaries. In comparison, they both had different mentalities towards an invention that was only made successful less than a decade before the outbreak of war in 1914 by the Wright Brothers in North Carolina, United States. The German Military welcomed the idea with open arms, investing in its potential for military uses, whereas the Allies remained reserved and hesitant, claiming that aircraft could not be used for anything more offensive than reconnaissance missions. These differences in opinions later affected the development of each air force. The German military kept making monthly improvements to their equipment whereas the allied pilots were slow in their respective air forces evolution. However, there was a common progression that both militaries had which was the slow phasing out of the cavalry on either side due to the effectiveness of the aircrafts reconnaissance capabilities. During the World War One, the German military took advantage of the new technology available to them, which gave significant results, whereas the Allies had a more traditional mindset for the beginning of the conflict.

This report will analyze the question: To what extent did the introduction of aviation affect United States military strategies in World War I? The early adoption of aviation into the U.S. military and the manner in which the early air force used air power shall be discussed in this examination.

The show I went to see was called the Dogfight, The Musical at USC Upstate theatre production on April 9, 2016. The director of the production was Lee Neibert, the designers of the production was the set designer Jake Salgado and makeup designer was Corey McGill.

I chose to evaluate the article written by Dr. Bernard Wilkin, titled "Aerial warfare during World War One." The article is a part of a project themed "The War Machine", published online by The British Library. The article captured my interest largely due to the huge amount of information and facts cited in the article comprising the use of aviation in World War One.

Notwithstanding the fabrication of the WAC Corporal, the progression of airborne weapons was not a prime goal of the United States. However, at the turn of the next decade, a competition broke out to see which branch of the Armed Services would create the next great rocket. The 1950s brought about rapid production of new rockets by the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Manufacturing bigger rockets and anti-aircraft weaponry was the main focus of the Army, while the Navy was concerned with smaller ship-launched projectiles and the Air Force with other forms of ballistic missiles. The rivalry was designed to harness the creative genius of each individual branch in hopes of yielding rocket brilliance, but misunderstandings generated frequent unintended consequences (“Space Race Exhibition” 3).

Sometimes the military’s strongest supporters will become its biggest obstacles to progress. That’s very true once their passion is grounded in reminiscences of warfighting practices currently overtaken by time. A case in purpose is that the contestation encompassing retirement of the Air Force’s A-10 Thunderbolt II, a plane formed throughout the warfare with one mission in mind: providing shut air support to forces on the bottom. At the time, troopers were querulous that the Air Force wasn’t sufficiently committed to shut air support, therefore the service came up with a plane that did solely that — a slow however extremely survivable tank killer engineered around one in every of the foremost deadly cannons ever mounted on Associate in Nursing craft.

Aircrafts and the way they are used has greatly changed over the course of the two wars. Before and during WWI, airplanes were primitive, made of wood and canvas and were not able to flying long distances or carrying little weight. During the early years of the first war, they were used as methods of reconnaissance and to spy on enemy lines. the Germans had planes with mounted Fokker machine guns at the front which could effectively fire through the prop, turning the airplane into an offensive weapon. “Airplanes were used almost exclusively for reconnaissance, though occasional “dogfights” did occur between German and Allied pilots.” This new innovation gave birth to air combat and “dogfights” (Western Civilization, pg. 582) . Aviation aces during this time included, Billy Bishop, The Red Baron and Rene Fonck, each with over 70 victories. By 1917, airplanes were proving to play a significant role in. During the short-lived prosperity of the 1920’s, the aviation industry saw great new advances to lead them into World War II.
