But by the time WW1 has ended, airplanes had become more developed and weapons were added to it like, bombs and guns. (Whitehouse) The first use of airplanes in WW1 was to determine the enemy’s movement. The airplanes would fly above the enemy’s area and determine the enemy's movements and position. The first major contributions of airplanes in the war were the First Battle of the Marne where the Allies airplanes spotted a gap in the German lines. They attacked them and were able to split the Germans.
The legacy of the Tuskegee Airmen is a well known historical story in my household because I have a Great Great Uncle that was a Tuskegee Airman. The movie Red Tails is an action filled storyline about a squadron of African American pilots serving their country despite segregation in our US Military during World War II.

You have a great sense of an un-ended storyline when the credits roll. The movie Red Tails is a 20th Century Fox Film production, Executive Produced by George Lucus and Lucasfilms, staring Terrence Howard as Colonel A.J.
When The King Took Flight; a Historic Book Review By Ashley Landry Timothy Tackett provides us with a well-researched novel explaining how King Louis XVI sealed his own fate, in his story about the flight of the royal family during the hard times of the French revolution. When the King Took Flight is the story of the King and his family trying to escape the turmoil of Paris, and his Jacobin enemies. However, the family’s plan is foiled, are returned to Paris, and soon after put to death at the guillotine. Throughout his novel, Tackett is trying to prove to his readers that the flight of the royal family was unsuccessful due to the King’s indecision on the departure date, changes in the common people’s attitude during the revolution, the King’s failure to absorb the grand scale of the revolution. The author gives evidence of many times when Louis shows indecisiveness, and making decisions overshadowed by influence from members of court all throughout his life.
The Germans did systematic bombings of Great Britain during the Battle of Britain. The Royal Air Force (RAF) reacted to these bombing and flyovers by engaging in dogfights with the German planes. The German’s Messerschmitt Bf 109E and Bf 110C squared off against the RAF's Hurricane Mk I and the Spitfire. The 109E and the Spitfire became the main airplanes used in dogfights because they were the best planes out of each country’s air force. Since the 109E and the Spitfire were so similarly matched, the determining factor on who would win a dogfight was the pilot.
Austin Bissell Ms. Charles Period 3 February 16 2014 Test Essay: Choice 1 A hero like Beowulf and Gilgamesh was Andrew "Ender" Wiggins in the movie Ender's Game. Ender showed mental toughness and he showed that he was a complete genius in military tactics. He also shows great courage when agreeing to this invisible contract for the military. Ender is asked by the general himself to come up to space for battle school after the general and his advisor has watched over him for the past couple years. This is his Call to Adventure as a hero.
[4][5][6][7] This method became standard and remains standard on fixed-wing aircraft of all kinds. [8][9] From the beginning of their aeronautical work, the Wright brothers focused on developing a reliable method of pilot control as the key to solving "the flying problem". This approach differed significantly from other experimenters of the time who put more emphasis on developing powerful engines. [10] Using a small homebuilt wind tunnel, the Wrights also collected more accurate data than any before, enabling them to design and build wings and propellers that were more efficient than any before. [11][12] Their first U.S. patent, 821,393, did not claim invention of a flying machine, but rather, the invention of a system of aerodynamic control that manipulated a flying machine's surfaces.
They were also important in the war due to the fact that they increased mobility on the Western Front and eventually broke the stalemate in trench warfare. So, in the war, these tanks had proven to be useful and had been used ever since. The first airplane was invented by the Wright brothers in 1903, 11 years before the war even started so, World War 1 was the first major war where airplanes began to become a significant part of the military. The use for the planes in the war was used for reconnaissance, bombing, and fighting as well. In 1915 the U.S. realized it was behind and created an organization called the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics to jump-start the production of military aircraft.
The Evolution of Fighter Aircraft Abstract Since the beginning of aviation itself, man has strived to dominate the airspace above. With this desire to dominate the skies, and the inevitable outbreak of war, came the beginnings of the first fighter aircraft. The early development of these types of aircraft was for reconnaissance and ground attack purposes in World War I. The types of fighters made in that era were extremely small, light, and biplane based. The armor used pales in comparison to today’s standards as well.
The Advancement of Aerial Warfare The invention of the aircraft was similar to many other great developments in the fact it's potential was not immediately realized. Ever since the flight of the airplane model created by the Wright brothers on December 17th, 1903, warfare has changed dramatically, making the skies a territory to claim and fight for. The airplane has not only been every resourceful when it comes to transportation, strategy, and operations but it was also enlightened to develop technology that has made warfare more lethal. Therefore, we no longer have to risk many lives because the advantage that we have of being in the air. Distance is no longer a barrier for us as it use to be and number of targets have become limitless because there is no longer something that can hide.
Victor stated that “Somehow my father’s memories of my mother grew more beautiful as their relationship became hostile” (pg.27) nothing was censored at home, victor was aware of everything that was going on, he saw his parents fight and he also heard them making love on many occasion. Victors parents relationship was really tested by all the stroms that touch down on the reservation, alcohol and jimmy Hendrix music was not enough to suppress the pain of poverty for victors father, he went out and bought a motorcycle and took on a new journey. His decision to leave home had a huge effect on the home that he previously created for victor and his mother, it had more of an impact on victor, because he use to stay up and set the scene so he could bond with his father listening to jimmy Hendrix. Victor had hopes that his father would come back home, some nights he would stay up listening for his pickup, but was all in victors
