BY BARRY SCHIFF
AV I AT ION HISTORY /
1 From reader Bill Havener: In 1924 four U.S. Army
Air Service biplanes named after American
cities departed Seattle to conduct the first
circumnavigation of the world. How many-if
any-of those aircraft completed the journey?
2 The FAA claims that pilot impairment contributes
to many more accidents than aircraft system
failures. It recommends using the acronym,
" I'M SAFE, " as a checklist of possible personal
impairments that could compromise safety. What
potential problem does each letter represent?
3 From reader George Shanks: Benjamin Foulois was
a pilot and a U.S. Army general who served from
1898 to 1935. What important safety device that
we use on every flight did he invent?
4 True or false? The humongous Consolidated
B-36 Peacemaker was said-with respect to its
engines-to have " six turning and four burning. " In
other words, it had six turboprop and four turbojet
engines.
5 From Richard Wilsher: True or
false? When the Italian racing
team traveled to the 1926
Schneider Trophy Race held
in Hampton Roads, Virginia,
the floats of their four Macchi
M.39 seaplanes were allegedly
filled with Chianti.
6 What is the name of that
mythical haven of rest for
departed souls of aviation
heroes?
7 From reader Bruce Curtis: True or false?
Singapore Airlines' Airbus A340s were equipped
with " body cupboards " to accommodate
passengers who passed away during its ultralong-haul
flights.
8 The world's longest runway is ______ feet long and
is located at ______.
See Answers on p. 48
Orville Wright was named for one of his father
Milton Wright's fellow clergymen. Neither of the
brothers had middle names.
THERE ARE A LOT OF " NATIONAL " DAYS on
the United States calendar, but the one dear
to aviators' hearts is National Aviation Day,
established in 1939 by President Franklin
Delano Roosevelt to celebrate the development
of aviation in this country. His presidential
proclamation designated August 19 as the day of
observation in honor of the birthday of Orville
Wright. Wright, born in 1871, was alive when
the proclamation was issued and lived another
nine years after, dying at age 77 (older brother
Wilbur had died in 1912 at the age of 45). The
proclamation allows a sitting U.S. president to
proclaim August 19 as National Aviation Day
if desired and may direct all federal buildings
and installations to fly the U.S. flag that day
and encourage citizens to observe the day with
activities that promote aviation. -JSW

Happy birthday,
Orville
National Aviation Day is August 19
