Kirk is a leader because he always wins. As American General Stanley McChrystal points out, winning is an important aspect of being a leader.

The United States did not enter the war until December 7, 1941 when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor. The war lasted until 1945. One of the most important developments of World War II, was the creation of the Higgins Boat. General Dwight Eisenhower was quoted as saying, “Andrew Higgins is the man who won the war for us.

Since the Wright Brother's epic first flight in North Carolina, airplanes have been an important part of American history. These aviation machines made their debut in combat during World War I. Although not very efficient or safe these new machines of flight provided the militaries of several countries including, France, Great Britain, and Germany with a new tactic of fighting that differed greatly from that of the trenches on the ground. During World War I, before the United States decided to enter the war, young, determined, and brave American volunteers traveled to France to join in the fight against Germany. The movie "Flyboys" portrays stories, inspired by true stories of these American heroes.
Communication Plan for the P-80 Shooting Star Fighter Jet Project MET AD643 Professor Leybourne/Jim Hannon Abstract Lockheed's Skunk Works project was created to build the first U.S. jet fighter that could compete with a German-developed jet during WWII. The unique nature of Skunk Works, which consisted of isolating a smaller team from the influence and policies of the main body of the organization, has become widely popular today and has been implemented by many large technology companies such as IBM, Intel, and many others. No matter how small or large the project is, it would not be successful without a solid project communication plan. The communication plan not only ensures that all of the project's stakeholders receive necessary information in a timely manner, but it also provides a framework that facilitates who will be responsible for communicating specific information at specific times throughout the project. Discussed and analyzed herein is the project communication plan for Skunk Works using available technology today and recommendations on how communications could be improved and managed throughout the life cycle of the project.
The story of the 37 year old fisherman stuck at sea has striking similarities to the popular book and movie, The Life Of Pi. Alvarenga originally set off towards northern Mexico in December 2012 on what he expected to be a short shark fishing trip. When a part of his boat became altered and broken, he drifted until he reached a beach 13 months later. Similarly, in The Life Of Pi, Piscine Motor Patel was on a journey with his immediate family to Canda from India when the ship carrying them and their cargo (animals from the zoo they were selling) had a breach and started to sink. Pi was saved from the ship, but continued to drift further out into the ocean.
Having the Right Stuff How does someone describe the right stuff? First of all not everyone has the right stuff for everything.

Continuing to fall... He gets up, no longer recognizing Owen”. (Skibsrud 146-146) It is to be believed that watch his friend die right before his eyes influenced the decisions that he made later on in life.

He travels to his uncle Ramos’s house to receive further care and instruction. My first reaction is surprise at the events taking place, and how a boy only twelve years of age must endure these hardships.
