The operations of Chicago Helicopter Airways represent a portion of the total Federal effort within the United States on behalf of helicopter development. This effort has been an outgrowth of the interest of the Civil Aeronautics Board and the U.S. Post Office Department which has a long tradition of looking for new developments in transport and of experimenting in new ways to move mail. Post Office interest in the aeroplane was the chief stimulus to the early development of U.S. airlines and dates back to the first scheduled air mail route authorised between New York and Washington in August 1918. It was natural, then, that the Post Office Department should have interest in the helicopter as it emerged in usable form for civil use after the Second World War.

This chapter takes a look at the women who led the organization. Between the end of the Second World War and the end of Israel's first decade of statehood in 1958, Hadassah was headed by twelve of the thirty women who sat on the National Board. They can be divided into three groups according to their socioeconomic and cultural background. One group (the largest) comprised members of families that had emigrated to the United States from eastern Europe. These women had been raised and educated in America, most of them in New York. The second group, consisting of women from a German Jewish background, falls into two sub-groups: American-born women of German Jewish origin who were married to men of east European origin, and very well-to-do women who came to the United States from Germany on the eve of the Second World War. The third group consisted of women who were involved in volunteer work in Palestine and, later, Israel. The members of this last group had a totally different background from that of the US leadership, but their work in Palestine over a long period justifies their inclusion in this chapter's review.

Summary During the Second World War, the United States Armed Forces Institute (USAFI) provided language teaching manuals and dictionaries for military and civilian use. From 1 July 1943 through 30 June 1945, this work was concentrated at an office which was located at 165 Broadway, New York City, and which was headed by a group of young, vigorous, and well trained linguists. The author provides a list of the personnel of this group and describes their activities and their relations with other developments in linguistics at that time and thereafter. Emphasis is placed on the crucial rôle of the ‘165 Broadway’ group in the application of structural linguistic analysis to the teaching of foreign languages in the United States in following decades.

Two Bodies

In the first half of the 20th century, there was an unprecedented flourishing of secular writing for Jewish children in the United States and Palestine. Despite the profound cultural differences between the two communities, this chapter proposes to view these two bodies of writing as parts of a whole: a much larger corpus that includes all secular Jewish texts for children, informed by a shared multilingual and transnational paradigm of immigration. The chapter focuses on two works: Yankev Glatstein’s Emil un Karl (Emil and Karl), published in Yiddish in New York (1940), and Levin Kipnis’s Bintiv hapele (The Miraculous Path), published in Hebrew in Tel Aviv (1939). During this critical time, at the outbreak of the Second World War, these two writers, so distant geographically, ideologically and culturally, made a similar radical move: to set aside the divisive national and political discourse in favor of an inclusive transnational one.

AbstractThe main objective of the study is to trace the perceptions of the task of an aviation component to provide direct aviation support to both ground and naval forces. Part of the study is devoted to tracing the combat experience gained during the assignment by the Bulgarian Air Force in the final combat operations against the Wehrmacht during the Second World War 1944-1945. The state of the conceptions at the present stage regarding the accomplishment of the task in conducting defensive and offensive battles and operations is also considered. Emphasis is also placed on the development of the perceptions of the task in the armies of the United States and Russia.
