History of Aviation
http://www.AmericanPatriotismNeeded.com V. BEFORE WORLD WAR II Between 1919 and 1926, some amazing progress in record breaking for aviation took place. Captain E. F. White made a nonstop flight from Chicago to New York (727 mi - 1170km) in 1919, and Lieutenant Oakley Kelly and Lieutenant John A. Macready made the first nonstop transcontinental flight from May 2 to May 3, 1923. This flight was made from Roosevelt Field, Long Island to Rockwell Field, San Diego. The first round-the-world flight was made from April 6 to September 28, 1924. Also in 1919, the first nonstop transatlantic flight was made by John William Alcock and Arthur Whitten Brown on June 14 to June 15. It took a little over 16 hours to complete and they won the "London Daily Mail" prize of $50,000. Mail delivery also took a major turn during these years. In 1925, Congress passed the Kelly Air Mail act which authorized the Post Office Department to contract with air-transport operators. This made it possible to transport U.S. mail by air; after this, 14 domestic airmail companies were created in 1926. VI. DURING WORLD WAR II During World War II, aircraft became a decisive factor in warfare. The largest operator of all international airlines in operation at this time was Pan American Airways. Pan American served 46 countries and colonies linking all continents and nearly all oceans. Small aircraft production increased significantly. Before World War II only about 193,000 people were employed in the aviation industry, and during 1941 the number increased to 450,000; also, around 3,375,000 passengers were transported by 18 U.S. airlines at this time, around 1 million more than in 1940. Airmail and express cargo would also increase by around 30 percent. But by the end of World War II, a new frontier of flight would take shape, jet and rocket propelled aircraft. VII. AFTER WORLD WAR II After World War II and by 1947 all the basic technology needed for aviation had been developed: jet propulsion, aerodynamics, radar, etc. Civilian aircraft orders drastically increased from 6,844 in 1941 to 40,000 by the end of 1945. One of the minor military contractors was the Boeing Company who later became the largest aircraft manufacturer in the world. With all the new technologies developed by this time, airliners were larger, faster, and featured pressurized cabins. New aerodynamic designs, metals, and power plants would result in high-speed turbojet airplanes. These planes would later be able to fly supersonically and make transoceanic flights regularly. One of the more famous record-breaking flights around this time was the Voyager, developed by Burt Rutan. The aircraft held 1,200 gallons (4500 liters) of fuel in its 17 fuel tanks. It weighed about 9,750 lb (4420 kg) at takeoff and only 1,858 lb (840kg) upon landing. The flight, maintaining an average speed of 115.8 mph (186.3 km/h), lasted 9 days, 3 minutes, 44 seconds and covered 25,012 miles (40254 km) and was completed in December 1986.

Great video! I've actually flown in one of these, the ATL-98 Carvair at 3:24 , across the English Channel in 1972. It carried several cars up front. Also saw one crash in Toronto, a Nimrod ( 3:20 ). Some of the planes were standard 1950's transports, eg. the Globemaster at 3:41, which made a big impression on me making low swoops over an air show in New Zealand in 1957: very quiet. The Noratlas at 3:55 was another 1950's transport (European this time).

Thanks for you comments. You know a lot more about these than I do. Brian Nelson

should really rename this video, a great majority of these planes aren't even American, let alone US Air Force. Also alot of civilian, non-military planes too. Saw a few Burt Rutan aircraft (spaceship 1,WhiteKnight, Long-Ez), and some kitbuilt aircraft as well.

You are right. I have changed the title bar. Thanks for noting this. Brian Nelson
