Book : La guerre vue du ciel 1914-1918 Le Front en Belgique
Very expensive, but definitively a book you need to have if you are interested with World War 1 on the Belgian front.
One of the author working at the "In the Flanders Fields" Museum. The other one is an archeologist from the Gent University. They added their expertises to deliver an incredible work to identify the places portrayed from the sky. They added maps to give information about then and now. Some pictures are translated on tracing papers.
The result is fascinating and of great quality.
However, something is missing. Two major military museums are associated to this project but the airmen who permitted the development of aerial photography as well as the techniques they invented are not described in this book. Except for a very few pictures, the personal history of the photographer is not mentioned. The role of such important observers as Desclée or D'Hendecourt are omitted. Their roles, the risks they took should have needed a few words. Today where drones are everywhere, explaining the roles of the observers is for sure an added value for the reader.

One of the most successfull Belgian team of observers. Adj "Gusto" de Mevius and Capt Roger
d'Hendecourt of n° 4 Squadron in their Sopwith 1 1/2 Strutter in 1917. They had such a reputation, they were detached from the Belgian army to help both French and British armies operating on the Belgian front at the express request of Allied armies. A professional officer, Roger le Dergent d'Hendecourt did not hesitate to buy at his own cost the photographic hardware he needed to obtain high quality pictures. His albums are preserved at the Royal Army Museum in Brussels (pictture from http://www.belgian-wings.be/)

Boeing propose son Super Hornet à la Belgique
Et si Bruxelles choisissait le F/A-18E/F Super Hornet de Boeing pour remplacer ses F-16 ? "Nous avons entamé les discussions avec le ministère (belge) de la Défense", a affirmé le vice-président exécutif de Boeing chargé du développement international, Jeff Kohler, au lendemain d'un entretien avec des membres du cabinet du ministre de la défense Pieter De Crem.

Questions à la une A qui profite la guerre des airs ? - Emirates va-t-elle régner sur le monde ? - Ryanair : Low cost à quel prix ?
- Durée: 01:32
Zaventem Charleroi ; deux villes, deux aéroports, une guerre commerciale sans pitié. L'arrivée de Ryanair à Bruxelles fait le bonheur des voyageurs, mais elle pourrait avoir de graves conséquences économiques. Charleroi prévoit déjà 900.000 passagers de moins en 2014. A Bruxelles, la concurrence féroce de la compagnie low cost fait de l'ombre à Brussels Airlines. Et si Ryanair quittait Charleroi ? Et si Brussels Airlines faisait faillite ? Irréaliste ? Pas tant que cela. De Girone à Budapest, l'enquête d'Alexandre Mitea et Geoffrey Michot montre qu'il faut prendre au sérieux ces scénarios catastrophes.

Warbirdsnews : MAAM's P-61 'Black Widow" Restoration Update and Kickstarter Fundraising Campaign
MAAM’s P-61 ‘Black Widow” Restoration Update and Kickstarter Fundraising Campaign
in Northrop P-61 Black Widow / Videos / Warbird Restorations — by Editor — March 17, 2014
The P-61 Black Widow in June 2103. According to MAAM’s director, Russ Strine, the aircraft looks much the same externally today as the museum is working on the outer wings and systems.
Most of our readers will be aware of the Mid-Atlantic Air Museum’s Herculean efforts to restore Northrop P-61B Black Widow 42-39445 back to flying condition. The museum and its volunteers have been working on this project since their epic 1991 recovery of the Black Widow from its crash site atop Mt. Cyclops, Indonesia, where it had lain since January, 1945. It’s a complex beast indeed, and the original, overly-optimistic 3 year restoration plan has stretched somewhat. But today, the aircraft is roughly 70% complete. The fuselage, tail booms, and wing center section stand upon their own undercarriage and the outer wing panels are the last major hurdle in completing the structural restoration work.

Warbird news : Never say this is impossible : Handley-Page Hampden Resurrection at RAF Museum Cosford
Handley-Page Hampden Resurrection at RAF Museum Cosford
in Warbird Restorations — by Editor — March 14, 2014
Geoff Jones recently visited the Michael Beetham Conservation Centre at RAF Museum Cosford on behalf of Warbirds News. We were particularly interested to hear about progress on their Handley Page Hampden TB Mk.I restoration project. Only three partial airframes of the 1430 Hampdens built are known to exist, with the RAF Museum’s example, P1344, being the most complete. Staff and volunteers at Cosford are currently lavishing their attention on P1344, and have made significant progress over the last few years. This following article is based on Geoff Jones’ report…
