From the publisher: "A-Train is the story of one of the black Americans who during World War II graduated from Tuskegee AL Flying School and served as a pilot in the Army Air Corps 99th Pursuit Squadron. Charles W. Dryden presents a fast-paced balanced and personal account of what it was like to prepare for a career traditionally closed to African Americans how he coped with the frustrations and dangers of combat and how he along with many fellow black pilots navigators bombardiers and crewmen emerged with a magnificent war record. Under the command of Colonel Benjamin O. Davis Jr. the Tuskegee airmen fought over North Africa Sicily and Europe escorting American bomber crews who respected their 'no-losses' record. Some were shot down many of them were killed or captured by the enemy and several won medals of valor and honor. But the airmen still faced great barriers of racial prejudice in the armed forces and at home. As a member of that elite group of young pilots who fought for their country overseas while being denied civil liberties at home Dryden presents an eloquent story that will touch each and every reader." From Wikipedia: "Alexander Jefferson November 15 1921 June 22 2022 was an American Air Force officer famous as one of the Tuskegee Airmen the 332nd Fighter Group. He served in the United States Army Air Forces during World War II. His book Red Tail Captured Red Tail Free: Memoirs of a Tuskegee Airman and POW is a personal memoir of those who served America in World War II and after." Dennis Mills and Burton Lowe were also Tuskegee Airmen / Red Tails. Richard Macon a Captain CPT with the US Air Force USAF Tuskegee Airmen was the first black Prisoner of War POW during World War II. -- per DPLA. SIGNED by the AUTHOR and 5 other Tuskegee Airmen.

1909221611909. Bollée Camille. Dispositif équilibreur pour aéroplanes 1909 documents early efforts to solve the problem of aircraft stability in the immediate years following the Wright brothers first powered flight when engineers in Europe and the United States sought mechanical solutions to controlled flight. Issued by the French government this patent establishes a technical approach to maintaining equilibrium through adjustable aerodynamic surfaces mounted on a rotating vertical shaft shifting emphasis from pilot skill to engineered stabilization. The document supports research into early aviation engineering international patent exchange and the rapid development of aeronautical control systems in the pre-World War I period.<br /> <br /> Bollée Camille. Dispositif équilibreur pour aéroplanes. Paris: Office National de la Propriété Industrielle 1909. Three pages with one illustrated plate containing six technical diagrams; original printed paper wrapper measuring approximately 11 x 7.5 inches. Patent submitted March 26 1909 granted July 12 and published August 21. The text describes a stabilization system "composed of a generally vertical shaft. capable of a rotating motion around its axis upon which one or several surfaces are mounted" designed to counterbalance lateral instability through adjustable aerodynamic elements. Diagrams illustrate variable positioning of these surfaces to alter lift and drag with the stated objective "to maintain the balance of airplanes. for example during lateral gusts or slips." Front page bears a Chicago patent office stamp dated July 27 1910 indicating circulation and review within American patent or engineering contexts.<br /> <br /> This patent was produced during a period of intense international experimentation in powered flight when inventors across France Germany and the United States pursued competing methods to improve control safety and maneuverability. Bollée's design reflects early recognition of the need for mechanical stabilization systems that could respond dynamically to environmental forces anticipating later developments in controlled flight technologies. The presence of an American stamp demonstrates transatlantic interest in aeronautical innovation at a moment when aviation knowledge circulated rapidly through patent systems and technical publications. Light age toning with faint crease to upper corner; document remains clean and legible; overall near fine condition. This item provides direct evidence of early twentieth century engineering approaches to flight stability and the global exchange of aviation technology. unknown
