1) The first use of airplanes in war was in 1911 during the Italo-Turkish War, but aviation developed considerably during World War 1 as airplanes took on roles like reconnaissance, artillery spotting, and eventually aerial combat.
2) Initially, armies were hesitant about using airplanes as there were only a few hundred fragile, unarmed planes compared to thousands of soldiers. Early pilots primarily served as chauffeurs for officers to gather intelligence.
3) As the war progressed, airplanes embraced weapons like machine guns and became fighters, engaging in deadly dogfights above the trenches. Their roles expanded from reconnaissance to aerial combat as new tactics and technologies evolved.

The document provides an overview of classic World War II military aircraft. It discusses how the US was unprepared for war in the late 1930s and early 1940s. Between 1939 and 1945, the US aviation industry produced nearly 300,000 military planes to equip the US armed forces and support its allies. After the war, many surplus aircraft were scrapped or destroyed according to treaties, despite being in good condition. Preservation groups like the Confederate Air Force were formed to save remaining WWII planes from being scrapped.
Aviation involves the design, development, production, operation, and use of aircraft. Early attempts at human flight involved attaching wings to the body to try to fly like birds, though these efforts were often unsuccessful due to limitations of human anatomy compared to birds. Significant milestones include Leonardo da Vinci's conceptual designs of flying machines in the 1490s, Otto Lilienthal's pioneering glider flights in the late 1800s, and the Wright Brothers' first successful powered and controlled flight in 1903. Commercial air transport of cargo began in the early 1900s and national airlines were established for cargo delivery in the 1920s.

King Lear is a Shakespearean tragedy about an aging king who divides his kingdom between his three daughters. He asks them to declare their love for him, and is disturbed by the insincere flattery of the two eldest daughters compared to the honest but lacking response of his youngest, Cordelia. As Lear's descent into madness progresses, order devolves into chaos amid betrayals and battles for power across the kingdom. Subplots involve the illegitimate son Edmund's schemes against his brother Edgar, and Gloucester's blind loyalty to his sons leads to his downfall. By the end, both fathers gain wisdom from their suffering as the plays depicts the fall of kings and the cost of unchecked ambition and betrayal.
This document provides context and summaries of key elements of William Shakespeare's play Hamlet. It discusses that the play was written in the early 17th century and first performed in 1602. The story is set in Denmark and involves Prince Hamlet seeking revenge on his uncle Claudius for murdering Hamlet's father and marrying his mother. The document summarizes important characters like Hamlet, Claudius, Gertrude, and Ophelia. It also discusses major themes of the play such as revenge, madness, power and love.
Hamlet confronts his mother Gertrude in her room about remarrying his uncle Claudius after the death of Hamlet's father. When Gertrude cries out in fear, Hamlet kills Polonius, who was hiding behind a curtain. Hamlet then shows Gertrude two portraits, one of his late father and one of Claudius, commenting on his father's superiority. A ghost of Hamlet's father appears, though only Hamlet can see it, making Gertrude think he is mad.
Shakespeare often used food as a metaphor in his works to represent different aspects of life. Some common metaphors were:
1) Feasting representing the formation of social and individual identity
2) Food linked to sex
3) Food symbolizing weakness
4) Food depicting violence and death
This document appears to be a quiz about regional development and cities in Europe. It contains multiple choice questions about when the Berlin Wall was built and demolished, the origins of Berlin, when Cracow was established and its former defenses, the original purpose of the Louvre museum in Paris, details about the Eiffel Tower and Paris City Hall, when Rome's Termini Station was built, Rome's first 19th century district, and an event hosted in Rome's Foro Italico in 1960.
This document compares the development of several European cities: Rome, Malaga, Berlin, Paris, Krakow, Stockholm, and Tallinn. It discusses when the cities were founded, their populations and areas, and architectural styles. Rome and Malaga have similar Roman-style architecture, while Paris features 19th century Hausmanian style buildings. Stockholm and Berlin exhibit modern architecture, and Tallinn and Krakow have medieval architecture. The document also notes sister city relationships between Rome and Paris, Paris and Berlin, and Rome and Krakow.
The document contains a quiz with multiple choice questions about various political assassinations that have occurred throughout history, including:
- Aldo Moro, who was killed in 1978 and was the leader of Democrazia Cristiana in Italy.
- Stanislaw Pyjas, whose official cause of death in Poland was reported as falling down the stairs.
- Professors from the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland who were taken to Sachsenhausen concentration camp after a Nazi operation.
- The deportation of over 94,000 people from Baltic countries to Siberia in 1949 by Soviet forces.
- Former Estonian president Konstantin Päts, who was placed in
Political murders in Europe were often motivated by racism, extremism, or totalitarian systems. In Germany, a Jewish politician was assassinated in the past by a racist group. In Sweden in the 1990s, a shooter targeted random immigrants. In Poland and Estonia, murders were connected to totalitarian regimes like fascism and communism and supported by authorities. In France, assassinations included political figures and Kurdish separatists. In Italy, a prominent politician was killed by communist terrorists during a violent period in history. The goals of such political murders were generally to spread terror and eliminate political rivals or voices of dissent.
The Augustinian Monastery of Santi Quattro Coronati in Rome provided shelter during World War II, hiding refugees from deportation and death. The monastery hosted politicians, deserters, and Hebrew families fleeing the bombings. Both refugees and monks dressed as monks to hide in plain sight and work in the gardens. The monastery's shelter and the nuns' defense allowed it to escape violation during a search by SS officers and give refuge until the end of the war.
The document provides details about the 2014 Italian film "There Will Be Meadows Again" directed by Ermanno Olmi, which depicts the experiences of 20 Italian soldiers trapped in trenches in the Alps during World War I in 1917. The soldiers feel isolated from the true front-line experience and alienated from an invisible enemy. They face harsh conditions as their real enemies become the forces of nature and meaningless orders from incompetent officers. In the freezing cold, the soldiers suffer from illness and start to experience hallucinations. The film draws from Olmi's childhood memories of his father telling him about his experiences as a soldier in the war.
The document summarizes the development of Rome as the capital city of Italy from the 19th century onwards. Key events include the construction of the first rail lines in the 1850s-1860s connecting Rome to other cities, which spurred new development. In the 1870s, Rome became the capital after being conquered and its medieval layout was transformed through new districts and infrastructure projects. During the fascist period of Mussolini, large urban planning projects reshaped the city center and new areas like EUR and the Foro Italico sports complex were constructed. After World War 2, Rome expanded further through new suburban districts connected by improved public transport.
Italy was one of the last countries in Europe to enact a divorce law in 1970 due to the influence of the Catholic Church. The law pays particular attention to the financial needs of children and their rights. Traditionally, mothers were often given custody of children while fathers paid maintenance, but today separated fathers in Italy argue this practice violates children's rights to relationships with both parents as stated in the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Separated fathers often turn to European courts or fathers' rights organizations for assistance.
This document discusses three important women in Italian politics:
Anna Maria Mozzoni, who founded the Italian women's movement in the late 1800s and campaigned for women's suffrage and law reform;
Lina Merlin, who fought for women's and children's rights in the 1900s and passed a landmark law abolishing regulated prostitution;
And Nilde Iotti, who was the first woman to serve as Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies from 1979 to 1992.
The document reports on statistics about immigrants in Rome and the surrounding areas from a 2014 Caritas report. It notes that over 10% of inhabitants are immigrants, most of whom are female and from European countries. The largest groups are from Romania, the Philippines, and Poland. Immigrant children make up 19.4% of immigrant populations and 6.7% of school children, with more attending senior schools than junior schools. Immigrants represent 10% of workers and play an important role in the economy. Most work in domestic services, hotels/restaurants, and construction.
The document discusses how amusement and entertainment have changed over time in Italy. It describes how in the past, families enjoyed themselves differently than children do today. It then provides several examples of popular places of amusement in Rome throughout history, including clubs in the 1960s, iconic films from the 1950s-60s, the Baths of Caracalla which hosted opera performances, and modern entertainment venues like the Auditorium Parco della Musica and Explora children's museum.
The document summarizes resistance activities in Rome during World War 2. It describes a partisan attack that killed German soldiers, leading to reprisals where 335 Italians were killed. Two sites, Forte Bravetta and the Ardeatine Caves, were used for executions of resistance members. It profiles individuals who participated in acts of resistance and were killed, including a priest, students, and women. It also discusses the film "Rome, Open City" which depicted resistance activities and their consequences.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

2. AIRCRAFTS GO INTO WAR
"Mankind went to die in air as had done for centuries on land and
sea, killing one another.
The conquest of the skies was completed at last"
Renè Chambre (Au temps des carabines)
The first use of airplanes in war occurred in 1911 during the Italo-Turkish War with the Italian Army Air Corps bombing a Turkish camp
at Ain Zara, Libya.
Between 1914‐1918 aviation developed considerably under the pressure of the conflict. From that day at Kill Devil
Hills (first flight of the flyer in 1903) when aircrafts were called "heavier than air", until the days when WWI was still a
"rumor", aviation was a matter for a few reckless pilots, dreaming inventors; but this event brought a revolution in
this rising field.
From a few hundred aircrafts (up to that time for pioneers (achieving the crossing of the English Channel)) the number
had increased and reached the thousands, and their use nearly attained daily usage. Restricted to war scope, WWI for
the first time contributed to define the roles and purposes that aircrafts could perform, causing also the
differentiation in projecting different airplanes for different purposes, with a reflection even in later history. The
flying aces who fought above the Western Front also contributed to shoring up the idea of "contemptuous of danger"
that already hovered around pilots.
The first impact with the established Art of War
AT THE SERVICE OF THE ARMY ‐ The prewar pioneers, among whom figures Roland
Garros, enlisted, following their patriotic fervor, as soon as they could, but the army of
every faction was hesitant as to how to use them. Soldiers in every army were
numbered in thousands while the aircrafts were no more than 500, fragile and
unarmed.
Roland Garros - The first
pilot who overthrew an
enemy using guns that fire
through propeller blades.
3. AIRCRAFTS GO INTO WAR
DRIVERS OF THE SKIES ‐ Pilots of the army were essentially drivers who, in the rear seat, brought the higher officers as
passengers and let them, by flying above the battlefield, to prevent troops' movements and then all information was
then reported on the ground with the help of notes and sketches noted down during the flight, or pictures taken with
cameras.
SONS OF THE CAVALRY ‐ Although it was an extremely dangerous task, that of air
patrolling wasn't a well regarded resource by the more conservative generals of
the army, who didn't trust the information that came with patrols preferring that
of another important machine of patrolling, the cavalry. It was still a quite
widespread use that of horsemen in WWI, and it's fun to remember how the best
patrol pilots came after service in cavalry squadrons. After 1915, aircrafts almost
completely replaced the cavalry exploration squadrons, whose role was utterly
irrelevant on the Western Front, thank to aircrafts' efficiency in exploring greater
areas in less time.
The first task: Patrol
WATCH, NOT FIGHT ‐ At the beginning of WWI, the German general staff would have described the main purpose of a
pilot with the sentence "an aviator must watch, not fight". By the way, it's interesting how such an important purpose
was demanded of aircrafts neither so powerful nor safe such
as the "TAUBE".
WATCH OUT FOR THE HOLES ‐ During the war of the
trenches, despite the high cost in human lives, the use of air
patrolling gave great help. The use of artillery was simplified
and made more efficient with the help of air patrols that by
spotting the holes on the ground made by the bombs, let the
officers make the
appropriate correction to the
shots. The system was
furthermore improved with
the introduction of the clock
system.
Aircrafts embrace arms
We have references that the first use of an object in the air
as carrier of a weapon of any kind dates from around the
age of the ancient Chinese dynasties, who used a kite
carrying a barrel of gunpowder.
The pilots who were asked to patrol put on pressure and
asked for more reliable planes, more efficient engines, but
most of all for a device that would have make them able to
defend themselves against enemy fighters. The answer to
pilots and patrollers was the introduction on airplanes of
machine‐guns. German designer A. Fokker invented a system
that was able to synchronize the firing rate with the rotation
of the propeller blades so that the bullets didn't hit them. The
Outdated even at the very beginning of the war,
the Austrian "RUMPLER TAUBE" flew at the
speed of 97 km/h, and the light material it was
made of, rendered it a very vulnerable aircraft.
ARCHIE ‐ was the name
given by the British Royal
Flying Corps to the
German counter‐aircraft
stations.

Fokker D. VII - In 1918 Germany desperately needed a
new single seated fighter in order to replace the outdated
Albatros and Dr I. Powerful (thanks to its new BMW
engine) and extremely sensitive to pilot maneuvering, but
still easy to fly, this airplane brought to Jasta the highest
victory percentages if related to pilots' death. They were
the first aircraft that counted on a parachute and oxygen
stock onboard. Most of 1500 D. VII sent to the Front in
1918 had this innovative livery, extremely efficient
because almost invisible at great distances.
Anthony Fokker - (1890-1939) Born in
Giava before being a contractor has been a
pilot himself. In 1912 opened a factory in
Schwerin and the war and his immense
sense of a affairs did his fortune. was
personally friend to most of German aces
and often asks their opinions before starting
a project with his designer in chief Reinhold
Platz. After WWI left for USA where
started the "Fokker Aircraft Corporation"
for both civilian and military purpose.
9. AIRCRAFTS GO INTO WAR
Max Immelmann (1890- 1916) - With O. Boelcke was member of
the Flight Section 62, was the first pilot of the Fokker Eindecker. he
invented a maneuver that would have lasted in history, the
Immelmann veer (after an attack from above with a dive the pilot
increases again the pitch and does an half loop, at the top e turns again
pointing the ground redescending again on the enemy ). Was the first
pilot honored with the medal " pour le mèrite" the highest German
military honor. As Immelmann was the first pilot who has received it,
British nicknamed it "blue Max". His death has been celebrated in
hundreds of ways among them figures a piano march named "Der
Adler von Lille" Immelmann nickname.
Oswald Boelcke (1891-1916) - more charismatic than Immelmann,
was instructor, commander and pilot. He personally selected and
trained the pilots grouping them into squadrons called Jasta or
Fagdstaffeln. While was member of Jasta 2 instructed pilots, among
who, there was von Richthofen. Instructed new warfare tactics and
advice for pilots and achieved 40 victories.

Airborne patrolling - in
the photos a "Thornton-
Pickard Type A" camera
used by British officers.
Cameras were firstly hold
in hands by the observers
(usually sitting in the rear
cockpit) who also
controlled the rear machine
guns if present. Artifices
such as securing the
cameras to aircraft fuselage
or the mechanical change
of photographic plates
radically helped watchers
in their job.
Aerial photography - in
order to obtain a complete
photo the pilot must
maintain a leveled and
slow flight, moreover it
requires more than one
passage on the same area
to print the image on the
plate. (below the photo of
an artillery station bombed
as seen from a patrolling
aircraft)
11. AIRCRAFTS GO INTO WAR
Bombs from above - as
soon as the pilots and
generals discovered the
potential offensive power
of an armed aircraft, planes
started to be a vital
supporter to infantry and
artillery, as well as an arm
of the deadliest for
enemies. Bombs (in photo
a Marten Hale (2kg)) were
stored in the cockpit and
dropped by hand when
and where necessary by the
pilot. Bunches of small
steel darts were instead
thrown against infantry and
cavalry platoons.
12. AIRCRAFTS GO INTO WAR
The eternal battle of
innovation - During the
whole last of WWI
engineers and generals
faced who the willingness
of bring aircraft specs
towards a continue
evolution, who instead
looked forward a radical
conservatism. At the very
beginning of the war
engineers and builders of
airplanes were, as been for
the prewar-pioneers-age,
people and workers of
bikes and manufacturing
industries and companies.

Penally - Small town of
the UK coast, Penally is
the site where is still
visible a hub once used as
train-field for soldiers in
trenches.
16. AIRCRAFTS GO INTO WAR
Flying suit - Officers and pilots had
different garments, to be used while flying
or as a uniform. Flying suits were padded
with animal fur, the equipment offered an
overcoat, gloves, two caps, boots, trousers,
specs. Oxygen masks and parachutes were
introduced only at the end of war for
German pilots.
