This week, we explore the fascinating background of aircraft that have undergone restoration, rebuild, or are newly built, focusing on their representation in museums and the complexity of their historical authenticity. We highlight the stories of four specific aircraft in the museum's collection: the Bristol Bolingbroke, the Curtiss P-40E Warhawk, a P-51 Mustang, a Hawker Hurricane and a B-24J Liberator named 'Star of India.' With each aircraft, Pima's CEO Scott Marchand and Director of Collections Andrew Boehly explain the careful considerations behind the paint schemes and in representing their history. Together, they shed light on the meticulous work behind the restoration of these 'Frankenplanes,' blending parts from various sources to piece together aircraft that stand as testaments to their contributions during WWII.★Check out 909 Apparel's Century Bombers collaboration with the 100th Bomb Group Foundation here: https://linktr.ee/909apparelcoGet the latest from the Pima Air and Space Museum through the links below:★Visit the Pima Air and Space Museum's website here: https://pimaair.org/★Learn more about the Titan Missile Museum here: https://titanmissilemuseum.org/★Find out who is in the Arizona Aviation Hall of Fame here: https://pimaair.org/about-us/arizona-aviation-hall-of-fame/★Want to know how the Tucson Military Vehicle Museum is progressing?

Hurricane Heritage has the incredible job of operating the world's only two-seat Hawker Hurricane, BE505 'Pegs'. Starting life as a Canadian Car and Foundry-built Mark XII with the RCAF serial AG287, the aircraft was converted and restored to a Mk.IIB 'Hurribomber' configuration in 2007. Just before the pandemic hit, her second conversation to a two-seat Hurricane was complete and now she operates flights all summer all over Europe with a truly unique experience. To find out more about BE505 and what a day with Hurricane Heritage is like, I spent the afternoon at White Waltham with pilot Mike Collett and Abigail Clark, who looks after ground operations for all the flights in 'Pegs'.★To find out more about flying in 'Pegs' visit the Hurricane Heritage website at: https://www.hurricaneheritage.com/★Follow Hurricane Heritage on Twitter at: https://twitter.com/HurricaneR4118★Follow Hurricane Heritage on Instagram at: https://www.instagram.com/hurricaneheritage/★Fancy becoming a Damcasteer?

The Hawker Hurricane has gone down in popular history as 'not the Spitfire'. But when the Imperial War Museum unveiled their latest exhibition at IWM Duxford, Hurricane: Unsung Hero, the avgeek crowd, myself included, went 'unsung?! Never!'. So how better to discuss the exhibition with than the IWM'sHead of Technical Objects Rebecca Greenwood Harding. Rebecca has a broad remit at IWM, so I was delighted that we were able to spend a Friday with the Hurricanes to discuss making the event happen and also delve into the intricacies of managing the IWM's collection. This left me with much to think about. Please stick around for the end, as I have things to say about how we discuss and interact with the institution we love.

In 1933, English aircraft designer Sydney Camm proposed a radical design for the future of British fighter aviation: a monoplane. Two-and-a-half years later the Hawker Hurricane took to the skies and became a Royal Air Force workhorse, albeit an overshadowed one.On this episode, Mr. Warren Pietsch, Chief Pilot from the Dakota Territory Air Museum, joins us to discuss the legendary aircraft that helped turn the tide during the Battle of Britain and elsewhere. Mr. Dan Griffith, former RAF test pilot and Chief Pilot at Biggin Hill, joins us as co-host after the interview to discuss his experiences in the Hurricane, including his test pilot perspective of performance and handling characteristics.Listener questions answered on this episode include a rumor about F-105 afterburners being ramjets, whether U.S. Navy selectively retained graduates (SERGRADs) or Air Force first assignment instructor pilots (FAIPs) get special assignment preferences after completing their tour, and the rationale for which station the AIM-120 is carried on the F-16.Bumper music by Jaime Lopez / announcements by Clint Bell.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-fighter-pilot-podcast/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Welcome to what is yet another episode full of fun and laughter from those nut job nerds you all hate to love or love to hate? First up we have the Professor telling us about how Tencent Games is planning to use police databases to restrict access to video games; which angers Buck due to breach of privacy issues and the reality that information will be flowing both ways. Professor is excited to see who is going to be the first criminal located by the police using video games to track him down. Ahhh, China, wanting to be the world’s number 1 in everything is now tackling the obstacle of behaving with extreme stupidity on an international level.This week the DJ brings us a story about the Deadwood tele-movie. Then the discussion delves into the range of movies and does Netflix and other streaming services spell the end of cinemas? Trust me, this is when you want to sit back with a cup of tea and watch the sparks fly. Best news is that apparently most of the original cast is back for this, including Ian McShane. Also some other movies in the works are Braking Bad, a new Super Mario movie (please, please, please don’t be a crappy as the last one) and also Steven Universe. So we will get to enjoy more from Dakota, check in on the crystal meth scene and hope the DJ stops doing weird accents.Buck brings us news of a real life working tractor beam that has been developed in Oz! A team working at the University of Adelaide has made science-fiction a reality for us, although on a reduced scale. But it is a start and now we have lasers and a tractor beam, now we need force fields and shields, please. Buck and the Professor geek out about the possibilities that this tractor beam represents for the future; which in reality is pretty darn sweet, right?Also we hope everyone who attended Supanova Brisabne had as much fun as we did. It was awesome meeting so many fantastic people, check the Facebook page to see some of them, and that is only a tiny sample of how incredible it was. Until next time stay safe, stay nerdy and we hope you enjoy.EPISODE NOTES:Tencent Games’ unique approach to gaming- https://www.engadget.com/2018/11/05/tencent-games-to-verify-ids-for-children/Deadwood TV movie starts shooting- https://www.empireonline.com/movies/news/deadwood-movie-starts-shooting/Tractor beams- http://www.sci-news.com/physics/tractor-beam-atoms-06569.htmlGames currently playingBuck- Mafia - https://store.steampowered.com/app/40990/Mafia/Professor- FAR: Lone Sails - https://store.steampowered.com/app/609320/FAR_Lone_Sails/DJ- Guns of Icarus - https://store.steampowered.com/app/209080/Guns_of_Icarus_Online/Other topics discussedEquifax data breach- https://www.abc.net.au/news/2017-09-08/smiley-credit-check-australians-financial-information-at-risk/8887198My Health Record government website- https://www.myhealthrecord.gov.au/Oldpeoplefacebook reddit page- https://www.reddit.com/r/oldpeoplefacebook/PUBG Lawsuit- https://www.pcgamer.com/pubg-corp-has-filed-a-lawsuit-against-epic-games/Days of Our Lives- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Days_of_Our_LivesBreaking Bad TV movie in the works- https://thenewdaily.com.au/entertainment/movies/2018/11/08/breaking-bad-movie/Fear the Walking Dead- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fear_the_Walking_DeadWalking dead TV movies in the works- https://www.gizmodo.com.au/2018/11/rick-grimes-walking-dead-adventures-will-continue-in-movies/A new Super Mario movie- https://variety.com/2018/film/news/super-mario-bros-animated-movie-illumination-1203021006/Steven Universe TV movie- https://www.polygon.com/2018/7/21/17597892/steven-universe-the-movie-trailer-sdcc-2018Netflix vs Hollywood- https://newrepublic.com/article/148102/can-netflix-take-hollywoodPeter Cushing – Star Wars Actor- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_CushingThe Crow – 1994 movie- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Crow_(1994_film)Deepfakes- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeepfakeMore info about Tractor beams- https://journals.aps.org/prapplied/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevApplied.10.044034Boaty McBoatface- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boaty_McBoatfaceFirst object to be teleported from Earth to the Moon- https://www.technologyreview.com/s/608252/first-object-teleported-from-earth-to-orbit/The Jaunt – A Stephen King short story- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_JauntGun of Icarus – Mobula ship- http://gunsoficarusonline.wikia.com/wiki/MobulaFirst voyage of James Cook- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_voyage_of_James_CookRichard Feynman – American theoretical physicist- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_FeynmanMargret Hamilton - American computer scientist, systems engineer, and business owner- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Hamilton_(scientist)Hedy Lamarr - Austrian-born American film actress and inventor.- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedy_LamarrSatan 2 – The Super Nuke- https://metro.co.uk/2018/03/15/russia-set-test-super-nuke-satan-2-missile-capable-wiping-britain-twice-7390285/Melbourne Cup 2018 winner – First British trained horse- https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2018/nov/06/melbourne-cup-won-by-british-horse-and-british-trainer-for-the-first-timeThe Story of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid- https://www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2013/jul/11/butch-cassidy-sundance-kid-reel-historyShoutoutsFamous Birthdays6 Nov 1946 – Sally Field, American actress (Forrest Gump, Gidget, Flying Nun), born in Pasadena, California - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Field6 Nov 1948 –Glenn Frey, American rock vocalist (Eagles-Take it Easy), born in Detroit, Michigan - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glenn_Frey6 Nov 1988 – Emma Stone, American actress who has been the recipient of such accolades as an Academy Award, a BAFTA Award, and a Golden Globe, she was the highest-paid actress in the world in 2017.

Elsie MacGill was a woman of unusual capability and resilience. Born in Vancouver on March 27, 1905, she was the first woman to graduate with an electrical engineering degree from the University of Toronto, then the first woman to receive her masters in aeronautical engineering from the University of Michigan. Although she contracted polio the same year, the determined young engineer defied the odds and taught herself to walk with two metal canes. She went on to become the first woman to design and test aircraft. Though her disability prevented her from becoming a pilot, she insisted on being a passenger on all test flights to better understand the planes’ performance. During World War II, MacGill became chief engineer of the Hawker Hurricane, a fighter plane used during the Battle of Britain. In 1943, MacGill married William Soulsby, moved to Toronto and started her own consulting firm. Beyond work, MacGill became an author and actively supported women in business. Among her numerous honours were the Order of Canada, the 1967 centennial medal and the Amelia Earhart medal from the International Association of Women Pilots. She was also inducted into Canada’s Aviation Hall of Fame and the Canadian Science and Engineering Hall of Fame. She died in 1980 at the age of 75.

Next to the Hawker Hurricane is the Eagle Squadrons exhibit. In front is a glass case that contains information on another Ohio aviator. Piqua native Dominic “Don” Gentile learned to fly in high school. He tried to enlist in the Air Corps after graduation but was refused because he lacked the required two years of college. Desperate to fly, he turned to the Royal Air Force in England and by December 1941 became a pilot officer, flying with various Royal Air Force squadrons. He was assigned to combat in 1942 as a member of Number 133 Eagle Squadron and on August 1, 1942, during the Dieppe raid, he destroyed his first German planes, an Fw 190 and a Ju 88, within 10 minutes of each other. In September 1942, when the three Eagle Squadrons were transferred to the U.S. Army Air Forces, or AAF, as the 4th Fighter Group, Gentile was commissioned as a second lieutenant and began a remarkable combat career flying Spitfires, P-47s and P-51s. By April 1944, he was the Army Air Force’s leading ace with 27.8* enemy planes destroyed in the air and on the ground. Because of Lt. Gentile’s daring spirit, he was ordered back to the United States the following month as the risk he might be lost in battle was exceptionally high. Gentile agreed to take a one month rest from the rigors of combat with the understanding that he would be permitted to return to his unit. Instead, he was permanently assigned to Wright Field as a test pilot until after the war. In 1951 this great combat pilot who had survived all the enemy could muster against him was killed in the crash of a T-33 jet trainer near Andrews Air Force Base, Maryland. He was posthumously promoted to major. Several medals that were presented to him during his career as a fighter pilot are on display in this exhibit.

Plastic Surgery does not always have a good press, more often associated with the excesses of Hollywood. But the birth of modern day reconstruction has far nobler roots. Dr Kevin Fong looks at the surprising, and heroic origins of the field of plastic and reconstructive surgery. It is a field that was born in response to the great air-battles of World War II, and the development of a new fighter plane - the Hawker Hurricane - that left its legacy not just in terms of success in the air, but in the devastating injuries caused to many of the airmen who flew them. He looks at the work of pioneering surgeon Archie McIndoe and his brave airmen "guineapigs" who underwent months, if not years, of painful surgery that led to the birth of modern day reconstructive surgery.
