The very success of D-Day depended on it. So began perhaps the most important phase of the OVERLORD air plan; the sustained and devastating assault of railways and bridges in northern Europe. The German occupiers were about to feel the full effect of the Allies' "Transportation Plan". Elliott Marsh writes for GAR.

Video: "tipsy trainer"

tipsy trainer by Meridian Images A 'Gopro' flight with a 1947 Tipsy Trainer out of Bicester Airfield, UK. The Tipsy is accompanied by a Piper J3-65 'Cub' of USAAF specification. The Tipsy Trainer is a small sports two-seat monoplane. Designed in 1935 as a private project by the manager of Avions Fairey, E.O.Tips, it It was built under licence in Belgium by Avions Fairey and the UK. It first flew in 1937 with a total of 42 being built. Early examples were prone to tip stalling with little warning, this was addressed with design modification in later examples. A few are still flying. The Piper J-3 Cub shares the same production years with the Tipsy Trainer. The aircraft's standard chrome yellow paint has come to be known as "Cub Yellow" or "Lock Haven Yellow" after the city of manufacture. The military variant is distinguishable by the Plexiglas 'greenhouse' for improved visibility. It was used extensively in World War II for reconnaissance, transporting supplies, artillery spotting duties, and medical evacuation of wounded soldiers. Filming was undertaken over the former RAF Bicester airfield, noted as one of the best preserved 'Expansion Era' bases. Formerly a Wellington and Halifax bomber base, it retained a grass runway such that, unable to handle later RAF operational aircraft the original buildings saw no later modernisation or addition of modern buildings. The music (the very sudden end is original and not an edit error- ed) is Mammagamma by 'The Alan Parsons Project'. I have been unable to establish who currently owns Publishing/Licencing rights and would be grateful if anyone can advise. ©2014 YouTube, LLC 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066

EDITORIAL

Paper Wings don't fly in wartime A peacetime life insurance - flying according to the book - A wartime non sense. Good flying never killed [an enemy] yet. 'Mick' Mannock, RAF, fighter Ace WWI The book is only a reference, in operation fly beyond the limits to stay alive ! • F100 : " flat-plating the bird " by John Boyd • F104 : flying in the kicker with Snake Reaves • F4 : adverse yaw by Robin Olds

MEMORIES

A success which turned out to be a FLOP : the Belgian E.C.M. Electronic Counter Measures : a fancy of the mind for the airstaff in 1972 … The Arab-Israeli Yom Kippur War makes the airstaff change its mind in 1973. The BAF ECM team considers that an internal system is the only feasible solution. Presentation of the Belgian specifications to the SHAPE and the PENTAGON. The MIRAGE retrofitting is granted with the LORAL/RAPPORT. The integration for the F16 is abandonned. All benefit for Israel and Turkey

UNTOLD

Two minutes over Baghdad : Belgian/LORAL ECM A first in history : a pre-emptive attack on a nuclear installation. A difficult decision : the trauma of the holocaust : a muslim nuclear bomb. Operation BABYLON 7 June 1981 : in the greatest secret even for friendly nations. The rule of success : preparation in real conditions at the expense of flying safety. The Israeli Air Force flew with the Belgian/LORAL ECM. No-one is a prophet in his own land !
