Aerial Nurse Corps of America
If we are sick and require air transport, we expect a skilled flight nurse will assist us. Before 1936 this was far from reality. Air transportation of critically ill patients began sporadically during World War I, but they crammed the wounded behind the pilot's area with no one to attend to them-the sick and dying patients had to fend for themselves. Lauretta Schimmoler realized this and sought to change it. She thought nurses trained in the aspects of air ambulance transport would be valuable for society. She hoped it could also benefit the military. She found nurses who believed in her cause. Some were pilots or became pilots. Dedicated nurses like Leora Stroup championed the idea when others doubted its relevance. Schimmoler understood airport management, flight school operations, aircraft manufacturing, first aid, chemical warfare, air mail transport, weather, and flight recorders. She even designed special medical equipment to fit inside small airplanes. But the various ranks scrutinized her actions because she wasn't a nurse. Schimmoler and Stroup were born, spent their childhoods, and were buried within 120 miles of each other in Ohio. Both became pilots and early members of the Ninety-Nines club. Stroup had also thought nurses should train for aerial duty even before she met Schimmoler. And Stroup had an edge on Schimmoler-she was a nurse-but Schimmoler barreled ahead despite lacking those credentials.Schimmoler expected people would see the value and appreciate what she and the nurses wanted to accomplish with this specialty they were trying to create. She was wrong. She hadn't realized one essential detail when developing her idea: nursing administration groups and the military didn't accept proposals from outsiders. Thus, she would spend her air ambulance life trying to work with them, through them, or around them.

How We Found the Mary Rose
The remarkable true story of the discovery and excavation of the Tudor warship Mary Rose. Ideal for readers of David Childs, Brian Lavery and Douglas McElvogue, and everyone interested in British naval history. In October 1982, Henry VIII's flagship Mary Rose finally broke the surface off the coast of Portsmouth after more than 400 years on the seabed. Her dramatic sinking during an engagement with the French fleet in July 1545, under the very eyes of King Henry VIII, had been a disaster at the time, but for the team that finally found the Tudor warship it was a scene of jubilation after long years of searching. Here diver and author Alexander McKee details how he and a small team of dedicated amateur divers, all willing to work without pay at weekends, risked their lives diving under busy shipping lanes and in treacherous weather to painstakingly search for the ship that nobody believed was there - and found her, in what became the most important maritime archaeological project in British history. How We Found the Mary Rose tells the remarkable story of the ship herself: her thirty-four years of service at sea and her final sinking during the Battle of the Solent; the subsequent attempts to salvage the historic wreck, and McKee's own seventeen years of research and excavation in quest of a dream that came true. 'This is the perfect adventure story. In Alexander McKee, diver and author of popular histories, there are all the elements of the hero out of boys' comics. He went against accepted theories when he started looking for the ship he had heard of as a boy on the Isle of Wight. His attempt became a joke, but deep in the silt McKee found the Mary Rose.' - Byron Rogers, Sunday Telegraph Magazine 'This is the most accessible account of the Mary Rose.' - submerged.co.uk
AIR CRASH INVESTIGATIONS-FLIGHT CREW’S MISMANAGEMENT OF THE APPROACH-The Crash of British Aerospace Flight 1526
On November 10, 2015, a British Aerospace HS 125-700A, N237WR, operated by Execuflight, crashed during a nonprecision localizer approach to runway 25 at Akron Fulton International Airport and impacted a four-unit apartment building in Akron, Ohio. This report discusses the November 10, 2015, accident in which a British Aerospace HS 125-700A, N237WR, registered to Rais Group International NC LLC and operated by Execuflight, departed controlled flight while on a nonprecision localizer approach to runway 25 at Akron Fulton International Airport and impacted a four-unit apartment building in Akron, Ohio. The captain, first officer, and seven passengers died; no one on the ground was injured. The airplane was destroyed by impact forces and postcrash fire. Safety issues discussed in this report relate to a lack of a requirement for flight data monitoring programs for 14 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 135 operators, a lack of a requirement for safety management system programs for 14 CFR Part 135 operators, a lack of a nonprecision approach procedure for Hawker 700- and 800-series airplanes that meets stabilized approach criteria and defines "landing assured," a lack of a requirement for flight crew training on the continuous descent final approach technique, inaccuracy of data entered into weight-and-balance software, inadequate Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) surveillance of Part 135 operators, and inadequate cockpit voice recorder maintenance procedures. Safety recommendations are addressed to the FAA, Textron Aviation, and Hawker 700- and 800-series training centers.
Italian Icon - The History of Alitalia
This book traces the history of the former Italian flag-carrier and those earlier airlines that were amalgamated by the state to form a single airline, events that were shaped by Italy's inter-war National Fascist Party that controlled the development of the country's air transport sector. The state's control continued after the Second World War which led to much interference and mismanagement, exacerbated by a bloated workforce, powerful unions, failed partnerships and, finally, the Covid-19 pandemic. This eventually led to the demise of Italy's icon in 2021.

Error Traps
Flying is one of the safest modes of transportation, but should we and can we make it even safer? Elmar Lutter, President & CEO at Lufthansa Technik Philippines, believes unequivocally that we should. But how, in a field mired with technical and design complexities, reliance on human judgement, impossible timing constraints, and how-to-manuals that go on for miles, do we?In Error Traps: How High-Performing Teams Learn to Avoid Mistakes in Aircraft Maintenance, Lutter challenges us to focus on our sphere of influence to avoid mishaps. In doing so, we can practice certain behaviors and attitudes that can: - Intercept chains of events that have the potential to cause damage.- Avoid predictable errors to reduce the exposure to becoming collateral damage in mishaps initiated outside of our sphere of control.Through a journey of compelling aviation experiences, Lutter offers four tools that every individual in aircraft MRO can and should employ to ensure they have done their very best to keep their team on the ground and the pilots and passengers in the air as safe as possible.Using real-world examples to connect the dots between 1. Competence: Master the basics 2. Awareness: Be in the moment, know what is coming 3. Compliance: Respect the defenses: read and follow the guidance, and 4. Teamwork: Look after one another, Lutter shares important insights and life lessons drawn from more than twenty years of collective knowledge and experience in an often unforgiving field.
