Lindbergh (1927) says he replaced the weight of the navigator with something called an inductor compass. This was based on the relation between the earth’s magnetic field and the magnetic field generated in the airplane. He claims “This inductor compass was so accurate that [he] really needed no other guide” (Lindbergh, 1927, p.515). The surprising speed of his plane was another reason why Lindbergh reached Paris with such ease. In the New York Times it talks about out of three pilots that attempted to keep up with him from takeoff, only one was successful.
Charles Lindbergh gained international fame as the first pilot to fly solo and non-stop across the Atlantic Ocean, flying from New York to Paris on May 20-May 21, 1927, taking 34 hours in his single-engine airplane The Spirit of St. Louis. One of the early barnstormers, Amelia Earhart, was the first female pilot to achieve many records such as crossing of the Atlantic and the English Channel. This fame came at a cost, when she disappeared in the Pacific Ocean in
The aircraft, a Lockheed L-1011 TriStar, was received by EA on August 18, 1972 and was placed in service on August 21 of that same year. Before the accident, the aircraft accumulated 986 hours and 502 landings. The three aircraft engines it had were the Rolls-Royce, RB 211. The L-1011’s reputation was clean before the accident; first introduced earlier 1972, the TriStar was considered the most advanced commercial aircraft. During the approach to Miami, the crew discovered that either the nose gear was not fully down and locked into position, or that the light indicator for the nose gear was not working.
The Red Tail Pilots On October 9th, 1940, the U.S. Army Air Corps began allowing black men to join its ranks, ushering in an entirely new era of military aviation. Over the course of the next four years, nearly one thousand pilots would go through vigorous training to become military aviators. These aviators would often be assigned the most degrading tasks the Air Corps had to offer. However they proved themselves worthy of their title by war's end; racking up 109 confirmed kills, 111 German airplanes shot down, and 150 German airplanes destroyed on the ground. They were among the finest World War II aviators.

It was roughly eighteen years ago that my life was forever changed. Seeing the flashing lights and intricate graphs of NASA’s (National Atmospheric and Space Administration) mission control in Houston, Texas brought about feelings of a new hope and wonder that I had never experienced before. I knew for that point on that I wanted to work in NASA’s mission control with all my heart. My passion for this field was first enticed in 1995 when a history making blockbuster known as Apollo 13 came out. This brilliantly directed film by Ron Howard showed how the Apollo 13 spacecraft underwent massive internal damage and only by the combined efforts of NASA’s mission control was the crew saved.

The aim of this essay is to discuss passenger rights under EU regulations and critically discuss expansion of common rules defined in EU regulation EC 261/2004. Development of Air transport regulations Aviation laws and regulations have been developed along with aviation technological and business development. Introduction of Junkers F13 as the first transport aircraft with capacity of 4 passengers just after the First World War marked the new era in the aviation. International air transport was born and pretty soon it became obvious that legal aspects pertinent to carriage of air passengers should be regulated. Due to poor technological development at that time, air transport was risky and dangerous business associated with many mishaps, accidents and casualties.
