Boeing B707 Is 60 Yrs Old

Forwarded message - From: Louis Nève 

Thx Louis for sharing Boeing 707 is 60 Franklin Roosevelt called Dec 7, 1941 - a Day of Infamy. July 15, 1954, was a Day of  Monumental Change.  Aviation change, that is.  World change.  Today is the Anniversary of that event - an event that changed the course of commercial aviation, the world, and certainly of the Boeing Airplane Company. It is the 60th Anniversary of the First Flight of the 707 Prototype - the Dash 80.  The product of a bunch of engineers who probably lived in Bellevue, Washington, wore wing-tipped shoes with argyle socks , white shirts with pocket protectors, and carried K & E slipsticks (slide rules.)  They produced a machine that - on a dozen levels - changed the world. http://www.rbogash.com/Boeing/707-is-60.html

Forwarded message - From: Walter Pieters

Walter Pieters posted in Friends of the League of WWI Aviation Historians Walter Pieters 3:14pm Aug 23 Sunday, 23 August 1914: drizzling rain in the morning, cleared later but low clouds stayed in the afternoon. Whilst II Esc.HF was at Saint-Gerard, the German assault brought them 200 m from the airfield, so the unit was again on the run. Four men of their flying personnel were reported missing in the evening: Lieutenants F.Jacquet, J.Jaumotte, & L.Bussy & Sgt E.Demuyter. In the evening the unit was at Philippeville with three aircraft. Lieutenant Soumoy went to France in order to get better aircraft & trying to find a new airfield for his unit, passed over his command temporarily to Lieutenant Isserentant. Barely arrived at Philippeville, the French army instructed the ill-fated unit further away, as the Germans were now advancing from Charleroi. It was then that the decision was made to try to get to Antwerp through Maubeuge & the coast, an operation which proved unrealisable in the end. Lieutenant Daumerie had his Nazaret car changed into an armored car, & driven by Prince Joseph de Caraman, they went to Haybes to assist French troops guarding a passage over the Meuse. With their Hotchkiss machine-gun they successfully stopped the Germans from trying to cross the river during the night. On the morning of the 25th, they finally went back to their unit as their ammunition was now all spent. Reconnaissance missions: 3 • Lt J.Jaumotte-L.Bussy, II Esc.HF – engaged by ground fire. Escaped skimming the treetops & hedge-hopping away. • Lt F.Isserentant-S/Lt P.Hiernaux, II Esc.HF – crashed on take off, Farman destroyed, crew slightly.injured.

On the 24th, the unit was reported 'missing in action'. Lieutenant Adhémar Tapproge, still hospitalised after his crash on August 6th, was made prisoner when the Germans took over Namur. Reconnaissance missions: 5 • Lts R.Dhanis-E.Bronne, III Esc.HF, 1636-1810 – hit by six bullets between Waelhem & Grimbergen. • Lts J.Soumoy-F.Petit, II Esc.HF – forced to land at Chimay. These reconnaissances unveiled the German advance in the south west of Belgium.
