During the weeks that followed the Allied landing in Normandy, in June 1944, large swaths of Western Europe were freed from German occupation, including a small portion of the Netherlands. In the rest of the country, where the great majority of its population lived, there was hope that their suffering at the hands of a cruel enemy would soon be over. In September, hoping to assist the Allies’ continuing offensive and hasten the liberation of the Netherlands, the country’s London-based government

Hello, hello, my reading friend, and welcome to the second part of this article on the Lockheed Georgia L-402 / Aeronautica Macchi AL-60 utility aircraft. If you do not mind, let us really get to the heart of the matter. I shall be brief. Let me quote the legend of the photograph above, wrestled to the ground from the July 1969 issue of the American monthly Air Progress.

What are you doing here, my reading friend? The weather is nice. Go walk outside few minutes! Not immediately, you say? All right. I am therefore going to pontificate today on an aircraft whose story has more twists and turns than a box of pretzels. The L-402 was a robust and reliable 6-seat single-engine short takeoff and landing utility aircraft designed by Lockheed-Georgia Company, a division of the American aerospace giant Lockheed Aircraft Corporation, today’s Lockheed Martin Corporation

Yours truly is running out of ideas on how to start each new issue of our blog / bulletin / thingee. Any ideas, my reading friend? No? Sigh. Hello, then, and welcome yadda yadda yadda. If I may be permitted to quote one of the giants in the 2013 fantasy adventure motion picture Jack the Giant Slayer, it’s good to be back. At first glance, the photograph I chose as a source of enlightenment did not / does not seem all that sexy. It is, after all, a jet engine. How banal. This being said (typed?)

Hei, my reading friend, hi! Are you ready to explore the amazing world of aviation and space? Wunderbar. The little / small subject before us today came from a weekly newspaper in Montréal, Québec, the title of which is probably familiar, Le Petit Journal. More specifically, the 1 March 1970 edition of said publication. The saga behind the photograph which inspired this article in our blog / bulletin / thingee began in September 1937 with the birth of Turi Widerøe, in Norway. Her father was none

My reading friend, let me welcome you to the wonderful world of science, technology and innovation. I would like to titillate your little gray cells with a short, yes, yes, short examination of a motor show which was held in the metropolis of Canada, Montréal, Québec, from 26 March to 3 April 1910, at the Coliseum, the largest ice rink in said metropolis, and… What is it, my reading friend?
