"TEXAS LADY" A Color Photo Essay
"WACO" A Color Photo Essay
THE GREAT MARIANAS TURKEY SHOOT By Alvin S. Fick
In June 1944, Japanese forces in the Pacific launched their aerial fleet of 440 fighters, dive bombers and torpedo planes into an all-out assault against the more than 900 planes supporting the American fleet. What resulted was perhaps the most lopsided air battle of World War II.
"LADY SOUTHERN CROSS" By Fred Morton
On November 5, 1935, Australian aviation pioneer Kingsford Smith lifted off from Hamble Airport in London in an attempt to break the record of 71 flying hours between England and Australia. He was never seen again.
THE STORY OF JOHN JOSEPH MONTGOMERY By Weston George
Many aeronautical historians consider John J. Montgomery's 1883 flight to be the first in a controlled, self-launched hang glider. If the facts are correct, Montgomery flew 17 years before the Wright Brothers launched their first glider!
MYSTERY SHIP: A Color Photo Essay
THE SWEPT WING By Robert D. Culp
In 1935, the subject chosen for discussion at the Fifth Volta Conference was aviation, specifically "High Velocities in Aviation". Invitations went out to all the famous aerodynamicists of the world, and most attended. It was, however, the paper introduced by the second youngest scientist in attendance that was to revolutionize the face of the industry. His proposal? A radical change in aerodynamic thinking: a swept wing.
B-24: THE LIBERATOR By William Holder and Clifford Glassmeyer
The Consolidated-Vultee B-24, the "Liberator", was built in greater numbers than any other World War II aircraft. Here's a nostalgic and interesting look at its highly controversial life.… (meer)

MOROCCAN BOMBER A Narrative by Col. Paul Rockwell
Aviation pioneer and historian Colonel Paul A. Rockwell's Story of American volunteers in Morocco during the Rif War in 1925 ranks with the finest stories published to date in Aviation Quarterly. Excerpted by AQ writer Dale Walker from Colonel Rockwell's original book-length manuscript (written by Rockwell immediately after his participation in the Rif War), it is presented here together with a collection of photographs never before published. We at AQ are proud to have this opportunity to present this important piece of history to our readers.
PORTFOLIO: A Collection of Classics
Back to the classics! On a regular basis we plan to bring to our readers classic photos of the classics. Each "Portfolio" will be different, highly colorful, and will contain some of the finest photography available. This first collection is a beauty, incorporating some of the best of past AQs with some colorful new shots. We hope you'll enjoy this new type of feature.
PIONEER AIRMEN OF KANSAS by Kenneth D. Mace
"Big as a haystack and just about as likely to fly" was what one early day skeptic said about Henry L. Call's first airplane. The skeptic proved to be right -- the craft, fifty feet long and thirty feet high, never got off the ground.
ZEPPELIN! By Lee Payne
At the age of 52, Count Ferdinand Von Zeppelin embarked on a career that would make his name known around the world. He set out to invent a practical flying machine.
SWAN SONG FLIGHT OF MISS MATHILDE By Frank N. Potter
In 1912 the world's first licensed woman air pilot, Miss Mathilde Moisant, staged a "daring" flying exhibition over Wichita Falls, Texas. The "Sweetheart of the Skies" did indeed put on a daring exhibition, crashed, and was rescued by an equally daring Texas cowboy who galloped to her rescue on his trusty horse. We think you'll enjoy this bit of the past.
THEY CONQUERED THE WORLD By Ernest A. McKay
On April 6, 1924, four open-cockpit Army biplanes took off from Seattle for a planned flight around the world. Six months later, three of them landed in Boston Harbor after a 28,000 mile trip.… (meer)

THE WATERMAN ARROWBILE
One morning in late summer 1938 a strange-looking vehicle drove down Ocean Boulevard in Santa Monica, California and turned into the local airport, Clover Field. The streamlined, three-wheel vehicle had a large wooden prop mounted high on its rear end. Turning into a large wooden hangar, the strange craft appeared moments later sporting a pair of wings!
In moments, the craft had taxied to the end of the runway and taken off! Those who witnessed this strange happening saw one of the first flights of the Waterman Arrowbile, a stranger-than-fiction vehicle that could do 50 MPH on the ground and 100 MPH in the air -- on regular gas!
DID HE FLY BEFORE THE WRIGHT BROTHERS?
Near a small Northern California town named Grass Valley, between Sacramento and Lake Tahoe, lies a monument to a man named Lyman Gilmore, Jr. Gilmore, it seems, claimed for years that he flew before the Wrights. Maybe he did, maybe he didn't. At any rate, we think you'll agree that AQ writer Jay Browne has put together a fascinating story of a man who was one of aviations earliest and most ardent supporters, and one who had some surprisingly contemporary ideas on how aviation could benefit mankind.
"HELL RIDER" -- The Glenn Curtiss Story
From his early experiments with Dr. Alexander Graham Bell to his recognition in the 1920's as one of the world's best airplane manufacturers, the story of Glenn Curtiss is a fascinating. Writers Vern Renaud and Fred Wolff have worked together to produce this comprehensive story of a true aviation legend.
FLIGHT OF THE ALBATROSS
From somewhere along the Southern Coast of England next spring, an odd-looking craft, piloted by a young Californian, will take off for a flight across the English Channel to the coast of France. The surprising thing about this attempt is that the craft has no motor, is not a glider, and needs no tow plane—the craft will be powered entirely by its pilot!
P-38: LIGHTNING OVER AFRICA
The Lockheed P-38 drew first blood in Iceland and the Aleutians but did not come into its own as a fighting machine until entering the skies over North Africa during WWII. Popular AQ writer Jeff Ethell here puts together an exciting story of the trials and tribulations of these rugged P-38's and the men who flew them.… (meer)

FANTASTIC FLEET A Color Photo Essay
"PROPELLER ANNIE" By Glenn Kerfoot
Helen Richey was known as "a pilot's pilot" because of her skill and talent as an aviator. One of the earliest licensed female fliers (she obtained her license while she was still a teenager), she barnstormed, flew exhibitions, became America's first woman transport pilot, and flew for the war effort overseas. This is the story then of one of America's true aviation pioneers: Helen "Propeller Annie" Richey.
AIRMAIL! By Mathew J. Bowyer
Worldwide, there are many claims to "firsts" in airmail fame, each generally modified with many qualifying statements. Some are great and some are not so great, but all are interesting and a genuine part of aviation history.
PERSHING'S AIRWAR IN MEXICO By Grady E. McCright
On wings of fabric and struts of wood, these gallant and adventurous Americans tested the rigors of the Mexican desert in eight rickety aircraft. It was 1916, the United States had for the first time called in military air power in a foreign country.

ALBERTO SANTOS-DUMONT By Lee Payne
Today the name of Alberto Santos-Dumont is not exactly a household word. In 1906, however, the young millionaire Brazilian playboy was the toast of Paris and had been captivating the world's attention for nearly a decade with his daring aerial exploits.
JACK VILAS: Flying Boat Pioneer By Don Farrant
Fourteen years before Lindbergh's epic flight, and a mere ten years after the Wright Brothers' achievement at Kitty Hawk, Logan A. "Jack" Vilas crossed Lake Michigan in a Curtiss-powered "flying boat." At the time it was considered something that "couldn't be done," but Vilas had found it a challenge too great to pass up.… (meer)
