“We will not again look upon a women flying as an experiment”, said by General Henry H. Arnold during the last graduation in 1944. He believed in the Women AirForce Service Pilots. After the WASP program General Arnold knew that a woman flying an aircraft is and will be a normal thing for everyone. He agreed to form two groups designed to help meet the needs of American WWII pilots to ferry aircrafts over to other military bases. In the 1940’s World War II was the most widespread war in history
Furthermore, as the 8th Air Force commander in Europe, he faced a severe shortage in experienced air crews as the operations tempo increased during the build up to D-Day. He faces an ethical dilemma to either follow a direct order from General Hap Arnold or maintain the trust and faith of his men. I used my personal experience to demonstrate how my skills compared to those that Jimmy Doolittle exhibited as a visionary and ethical leader, helping me become a better leader. I will explain that I’ve
The Way and Life of General Carl A. Spaatz The name General Carl ‘Tooey’ Andrew Spaatz has become synonymous with the phrase air power and strategist. Air power has come along way since Wilbur and Orville launched the first airplane in 1902 in the city of Kitty Hawk. Famous engineers have taken the Wright-Brothers design and made great improvements to them while slowly integrating these new powerful means of transportation, weaponry and communication aids into the military. Since the onset of World

The Japanese Forces would be impaired if these forces were eliminated. Lieutenant Colonel (at the time) James “Jimmy” H. Doolittle was crucial to the raid on Tokyo, Japan. Before returning home, General Doolittle convinced himself he was a failure, but he made a large strategic
was also on the side of the Confederacy, sneaked into Ford’s Theater and assassinated Abraham Lincoln only five days after the end of the Civil War. Abraham Lincoln was only 56 years old, and he was the first president to be assassinated. Samuel Arnold, George Atzerodt, David Herold, Michael O’Laughlen, Lewis Powell, and John Surratt were intended to help him with their original plan of kidnapping the president, but that plan was abandoned because President Lincoln never showed up to the Campbell
document commissioned by Frederick, Bishop of Hamburg, outlining the rights of the Hollanders in regards to the land he was offering for them to colonise. Furthermore, the charter was signed by “Henry, the Priest, to whom we have granted the aforesaid churches for life” in addition to the “laymen, Helikin, Arnold, Hiko, Fordolt, and Referic” . Produced in 1106, this source reveals the value of land in the economic climate of the Middle Ages. This source is “a perpetual benediction” , and thus is destined
English culture-war debates is a little common sense and practicality. Take, for example, the question of the literary canon (by which I mean the canon of imaginative literature: fiction, poetry, and drama). In his preface to Falling Into Theory, David H. Richter articulates three basic positions on the issue of the standard or traditional canon: defend the canon, expand it to include works by women and minorities, or eliminate it altogether (vii- viii). The obvious answer to the conundrum of the

Through out the Great Depression there were many photographers, but one of the best was Dorothea Lange. Lange was born on the 25th of May in 1895 in Hoboken, New Jersey as the first child of Joan and Henry Nutzhorn. She decided to become a photographer at the age of 18. She studied photography at Columbia University in New York. At the age of 20 she began to travel the world. Later in life she settled down in San Francisco, California, where she met her first husband, artist Maynard Dixon. She had
Information Management Skills Technology changes, information management problems remain the same (Etzel and Thomas 1996). For some people, the problem is one of access--being "ex-communicated" from the information society by the economics of information technology (Fortner 1995). For others, the problem is coping with information satiation. The abundance of information channels and sources forces people to choose among an excess of options, or else they choose to concentrate on a limited but
dynasty coincided with the first dissemination of printed matter. William Caxton's press was established in 1476, only nine years before the beginning of Henry VII's reign. Caxton's achievement encouraged writing of all kinds and also influenced the standardization of the English language. The early Tudor period, particularly the reign of Henry VIII, was marked by a break with the Roman Catholic Church and a weakening of feudal ties, which brought about a vast increase in the power of the monarchy

Addison's "Campaign" and Gray's "Elegy". (Joseph Addison)(Thomas Gray) Rodney Stenning Edgecombe. Full Text: COPYRIGHT 2004 Heldref Publications In the meditation set at the heart of the "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard," which he completed in 1750, Gray notes that deprivation curtails opportunities for evil as well as for good.

A Historiographical Discussion of the Duel Between Aaron Burr and The duel between Aaron Burr and Alexander Hamilton holds a significant relevance in American history and should be examined within the context of early American culture and politics. The recent historiography of the incident provides us with a complex, evolving web of conflicting interpretations. Since the day of this tragic duel, contemporaries and historians have puzzled over why these two prominent American statesmen confronted
Immigrants are the strength of the U.S. In the essay “Supporting Family Values,” Linda Chavez makes a case for allowing illegal immigrants to stay in the U.S. because they bring with them a stronger sense of family values than native-born residents do. In addition to Chavez’s arguments, it is important to note that they also bring with them a desire to work and support those families. While many immigration opponents would argue that immigrants are a drain on our public resources and have higher

Biography of Edgar Allan Poe Edgar Allan Poe was born at 33 Hollis Street, Boston, Mass., on January 19, 1809, the son of poverty stricken actors, David, and Elizabeth (born Arnold) Poe. His parents were then filling an engagement in a Boston theatre, and the appearances of both, together with their sojourns in various places during their wandering careers, are to be plainly traced in the play bills of the time.
