Mark Bray The fascination with flight has been around as long as mankind is old. As adults, we can understand how birds fly, how airplanes get off the ground and how the Space Shuttle leaves the grip of Earth and heads into space. “The Magic of Flight” is all about that inherent need to look into the sky and wonder at anything and everything that moves within it, just as a child does.

Brian Bateman The subject is a B-29 Super fortress that has ditched in the Pacific in December 1944. The 11 man crew of “V Squared 60” reached safety in their rafts before the giant bomber sank into the sea. The crew was fighting not only to survive the ditching but the vast ocean and the fast approaching dusk. Ships, submarines, and search planes (Catalinas, Dumbos) were placed along the routes of the bombers in order to give the crews at least a 50/50 chance of survival. Via radio and some lady luck, this crew has made contact with one of those PBYs along the route. They were lucky to survive the ditching in a rough sea and lucky to fight another day.

Joe Kline The area of Northern I Corps in South Vietnam was mostly mountainous with very few roads. During the Vietnam War, the U.S. Army established artillery fire bases with overlapping fields of fire and hilltop landing zones were established to insert and re-supply ground troops. In this scene, repeated thousands of times during the war, a UH-1 Huey “Slick” pulls away from a hilltop LZ as others approach to land. Click on image for larger view |

Stan Vosburg Two "Rosy Riveters" from the ball turret factory in Anaheim, California, have traveled to Corona del Mar for a brief respite from their grueling work schedule and to let their children play in the shallows at low tide. Military airplanes flying overhead were a common sight, but it was always exciting to see the P-38s of the Home Defense group up close and low. The finishing touch to a sand castle is a worthy work of art, but for one of the redheaded twins the approach and roar of two supercharged Allison engines is enough to send him leaping in ecstasy.

Ross Buckland Canadian Classics 34X46 Oil Depicted are two of Canada's proudest transportation achievements, the Noorduyn Norseman and Canadian Pacific's Selkirks. The Selkirks, constructed in Montreal from 1929 until 1949, were the largest steam locomotives in the Commonwealth. Thirty-six were built to haul the freight and passenger trains through the Rockies between Calgary and Revelstoke. On a daily basis, they crossed the Selkirk Range after which they were named.

Larry Manofsky The first stage of the Saturn V rocket was powered by five F-1 engines manufactured by Rocketdyne of Canoga Park, CA. This type of engine was first test fired in March 1959 and is still the largest single-chamber rocket engine ever built. Each engine consumed 680 gallons of kerosene and liquid oxygen per second and produced 1.5 million pounds of thrust. The five engines of the Saturn V were capable of accelerating the 7.5 million pound, 363-foot tall moon rocket to a speed of 6,200 miles per hour, 9 times faster than a speeding bullet.

Joe Kline The title was endearingly bestowed upon Vietnam War helicopter crews by war correspondent and journalist Joe Galloway. The UH-1 Huey “Slick” was by far the most widely used helicopter of the war and over 2,500 were lost during that conflict. In this scene, a Huey “Slick” lands amidst withering fire to pick up a LRRP (Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol). One tenth of all soldier lost during the Viet Nam War were helicopter crewmen.

Steve Remington Arguably the most efficient airplane design ever built, the Bellanca “Airbus” P-200A floatplane NC-785W was used as an aerial commuter from the wealthy enclaves of Long Island to Wall Street’s East River float, commencing July 16, 1934 as New York-Suburban Air Lines. Airline use ceased that year as regulations prohibited single engine transports. Only four of the civilian Airbus examples were built and about 14 more were delivered to the A.C.C. as the C-27-A to -C. The later “Aircruiser” model, with more muscle, was extensively used in Canada as a bush airplane. The White Pelican can be found in eastern bays and estuaries during the summer month’s breeding season.

David Rawlins Piedmont Airlines was based in Winston-Salem NC and flew their first scheduled flight in February 1948 using a DC-3. Piedmont operated 22 DC-3s, retiring the last of them in 1963. In 1986, Piedmont purchased a former C-47, built in 1942, which had been converted to DC-3 configuration after the war and used as an executive transport. Piedmont had it painted in the old Piedmont colors and re-registered as N44V and used it for promotional purposes. Piedmont Airlines was absorbed into US Air in 1989. Click on image for larger view

John Clark Mariner 10 was launched on November 2, 1973 atop the Atlas/Centaur rocket from Launch Complex 36B. The spacecraft was placed in a parking orbit after launch for approximately 25 minutes, and then placed in orbit around the Sun en route to Venus. The orbit direction was opposite to the motion of the Earth around the Sun. The spacecraft passed Venus on February 5, 1974 at a distance of 4200 km and took some 4,000 photos of Venus. They revealed a nearly round planet enveloped in smooth cloud layers. Click on image for larger view

Steve Anderson Colonel Bill Bower, now 94, is one of the last surviving pilots of the 1942 Doolittle raid on Japan. The B-25 serial # 40-2278 was named "Fickle Finger" and was the twelfth plane of sixteen in the staggered row packed on the deck of USS Hornet. Names weren’t painted on most of the planes due to the nature of the mission. According to Bower's mission report, after hitting their targets at Yokohama, they strafed with .30 and .50 cal incendiary rounds, a Japanese weather boat and left it burning and sinking.

Russell Smith “Starting Line” features Eddie Rickenbacker and his famous SPAD XIII, S’4523, at the airfield of Saints, France, circa August 1918. Most depictions of S’4523 show it in its late configuration – shortened exhaust stacks, red/white/blue (back to front) rudder, and patched bullet holes. However, in August 1918, when the 94th Aero Squadron was based at Saints, S’4523 carried the standard length exhaust, no bullet patches and the original blue/white/red French rudder. The title is a dual reference to the action on the flight line and Rickenbacker’s pre-war career as a race car driver. Click on image for larger view |
