Some really interesting glider footage is shared here. Note the undercarriage being jettisoned after take off to reduce drag - as originally intended for the Horsa.

Since the invention of ailerons, it is rare to find an aircraft without them. However, the "Trident", an experimental supersonic aircraft from the 1950s, does not have them. All of the aircraft's controls are located in its tailplane, for roll, pitch and yaw. © images défense

The creation and animation of passengers contemporary to the period is developing quite quickly now. In another week there should be a good selection to add to the airport scenes.

We spent a great day charting the roots of the Easy Company story in Aldbourne today. It is always fascinating to consider the relationship between US service personnel like the US 101st Airborne Division and the British communities on which they were billeted. #WW2TRAVEL

@FunkadelicHorse No, all subscriptions were fulfilled with the publication of TAH50, so it’s now much simpler, simply visit the website and buy your copy of the Annual. Official publication date October 15, but get in early, it’s selling well already! 👍🏻

Jimmy Catanach's Wings parade was on 15 April 1941: 83 years ago. He was smiling broadly in his course photo: it was a proud moment. Later, he became the pride of his squadron. Three years after his parade he was dead. Read all about it in @AvHistorian #47 theaviationhistorian.com/index.htm
