The document discusses the history and politics surrounding Libya and its leader Muammar Qaddafi. It notes that Qaddafi came to power in 1969 and imposed a socialist dictatorship, nationalizing Libya's oil. It summarizes that Qaddafi had poor political relations with countries like France and the U.S. due to his support of terrorism and Arab nationalism. When civil unrest broke out in Libya in 2011, Qaddafi had few allies and faced military intervention by Western countries seeking to support the rebels and gain influence in a post-Qaddafi Libya.
The document provides an overview of World War II, including its origins, key events, and conclusion. It discusses rising tensions in Europe and Asia in the 1930s due to totalitarian regimes and fascist movements. While the US initially took an isolationist stance, Germany's invasion of Poland in 1939 drew Britain and France into war. The US gradually became involved through Lend-Lease and entered the war after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. The war was fought on two major fronts, as the Allies battled German and Italian forces in Europe and American forces engaged the Japanese in the Pacific. The war ended in 1945 after the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, leading Japan to surrender.

Richard Evelyn Byrd was a pioneering American polar explorer and aviator. He was born in 1888 in Virginia and served in the US Navy until retiring in 1916 due to injury. Byrd made many expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctic regions in the 1920s-1940s, including being the first to fly over both poles. He led four Antarctic expeditions where he discovered new lands, mountain ranges, and islands while conducting extensive mapping and scientific research. Byrd wrote books about his adventures and commanded Antarctic exploration missions until his death in 1957.
The Revolutionary War began as protests against British taxation without representation and escalated into armed conflict. Key events included the Boston Massacre, the Boston Tea Party, battles at Lexington and Concord, the capture of Fort Ticonderoga, and the Declaration of Independence in 1776. The Battle of Saratoga marked a turning point, leading France to ally with the Americans. After later British victories, Cornwallis surrendered at Yorktown in 1781. The Treaty of Paris in 1783 recognized American independence. The Articles of Confederation and U.S. Constitution established the nation's framework of government.

That is a complex question. While some civil rights were gained during the war due to economic necessity, widespread and full racial equality would still take many more years of struggle after the war ended. Segregation and discrimination remained legal and common in many parts of the South. So there was certainly a desire among many African Americans to build upon the gains of the war period and continue pushing for further civil rights protections. However, others may have still faced resistance or backlash for demanding full equality. The postwar period involved ongoing social and political debates over these important issues.
1) On December 7, 1941, Japanese forces launched a surprise attack on the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. Over 2,400 Americans were killed and many ships and aircraft were destroyed in the attack.
2) In response, the U.S. entered World War 2 by declaring war on Japan. Germany and Italy also declared war on the U.S. a few days later.
3) The attack on Pearl Harbor was intended to neutralize the U.S. Pacific fleet so that Japan could invade territories in Southeast Asia without interference. However, it had the effect of bringing the fully industrial might of the U.S. directly into the war against Japan and its Axis allies.

He helped draft the Declaration of Independence and negotiated key treaties with France and Britain. Franklin was one of the most accomplished figures in American history.
The document summarizes several major battles between the United States and Japan in the Pacific theater of World War II from 1941 to 1945. It describes Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 that brought the U.S. into the war. Key naval battles including Midway in 1942 and Guadalcanal that year were turning points that weakened Japan. The U.S. also fought brutal battles to take islands like Iwo Jima, Okinawa, and Peleliu to advance closer to Japan. The U.S. then firebombed Japanese cities like Tokyo and ultimately dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, leading to Japan's surrender.
The document summarizes key events in World War 2 in the Pacific theater and against Japan following their attack on Pearl Harbor. It describes Japan's strategic goals in attacking Pearl Harbor to disable the US Pacific fleet. It then outlines the US counterattacks including the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo and the pivotal Battle of Midway in 1942 which marked a turning point. It discusses the brutal fighting across the Pacific as the US engaged in an island hopping campaign and the dropping of atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki that led to Japan's surrender.
The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, hoping to destroy the US Navy and force American acceptance of Japanese dominance in the Pacific. However, the attack united Americans and convinced them to enter the war against Japan. By 1942, the Japanese controlled much of Southeast Asia and the Pacific, but Allied victories at the Battles of the Coral Sea and Midway turned the tide. US forces led by MacArthur began moving through the Pacific islands toward Japan in 1942. Atomic bombs were dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, destroying the cities and killing thousands, after which Japan surrendered, ending World War II.

The document summarizes key events of the American Revolution from 1775-1783. It discusses several acts passed by the British Parliament that taxed the colonies, leading to unrest. Major battles are described, including Lexington and Concord, Saratoga, and Yorktown. International alliances played an important role, as France entered the war as an ally of the colonies in 1778 after the Battle of Saratoga. The Continental Navy had some successes but was generally ineffective against the British Navy. The war ended with the Treaty of Paris in 1783, recognizing American independence.
Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941 to disable the US Pacific fleet as the US was restricting Japan's oil supply. The US was caught off guard but regrouped, turning the tide at the Battle of Midway in 1942 where they sank four Japanese carriers. The US then began an island hopping campaign across the Pacific while battling the Japanese on multiple fronts. Germany continued fighting but was squeezed from the east by the Soviets and the west by the Allies. Hitler committed suicide in 1945 and Germany surrendered, but the war continued in the Pacific until the US dropped atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945, leading Japan to surrender.
During the winter of 1777-1778, the Continental Army under George Washington camped at Valley Forge outside Philadelphia, where soldiers suffered from lack of food and clothing but were aided by donations from Americans. Foreign volunteers like the Marquis de Lafayette and Polish and Prussian officers helped train the army. The war later shifted south, where the British seized Savannah and Charleston, but American forces like Francis Marion used guerrilla tactics against the British. In 1781, the British under Cornwallis were trapped at Yorktown by a combined American and French force, leading to Cornwallis's surrender and the end of major fighting in the war.

The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, were American inventors and aviation pioneers credited with inventing and building the world's first successful airplane and making the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight on December 17, 1903 near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Through extensive testing of gliders and use of a wind tunnel to study wing designs, they developed a method of aircraft control using wing warping that enabled safe and reliable flight. After building and testing the Wright Flyer, they achieved four controlled flights that day, with the first flight lasting 12 seconds and traveling 120 feet. Their achievement marked the beginning of the aviation age.
Wright Brothers History |short ver.| by.. [Mikee & CO]guestea7b8
The Wright brothers were American inventors and aviation pioneers. Wilbur Wright was born in 1867 and Orville Wright in 1871 in Dayton, Ohio. Inspired by early aviation experiments and toys as children, they began experimenting with gliders in the late 1890s and achieved controlled, powered flight in 1903, making them the first to make a successful airplane. They patented their design and founded the Wright Company but had ongoing patent disputes. Wilbur died in 1912 from typhoid fever at age 45. Orville died in 1948 after witnessing the dawn of supersonic flight.
The document discusses the early history of airmail delivery. It describes John Wise's 1859 balloon mail delivery, considered the first US airmail. It then focuses on Fred Wiseman, who made the first airplane airmail delivery in 1911, carrying mail from Petaluma to Santa Rosa, California over two days due to engine issues. Later that year, Earle Ovington conducted the first official US airmail flight for the Post Office, carrying mail by plane from Garden City to Mineola, New York. There is no consensus on whether Wiseman or Ovington's flight was truly the first.
This document is a preface to a guide about pictorial materials related to the Wright brothers. It provides background information on the Wright brothers' photographic collection that was donated to the Library of Congress. It describes how the guide was created based on a card file system used to catalog over 1,600 photographs from books, periodicals and other sources depicting the Wright brothers, their gliders, airplanes and flights from 1900 to 1911. The preface outlines the organization and contents of the guide.
Lt. Cmdr. Perry established the first U.S. naval station in Key West in 1823 to combat piracy. Since then, Key West has played an important strategic role for the U.S. Navy due to its location. This exhibit highlights significant U.S. Navy operations and milestones in Key West through a collection of postal covers, including the Navy establishing shipboard post offices in 1908, an attempted first flight from Key West to Cuba in 1911, and Key West serving as a logistics hub for occupations in Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Mexico during the Banana Wars.
Charles Lindbergh was an American aviator famous for making the first solo nonstop flight across the Atlantic Ocean from New York to Paris in 1927. This achievement made him instantly famous and helped spur major growth in commercial aviation. However, his son was kidnapped and murdered in 1932, after which Lindbergh and his family spent time in self-imposed exile in Europe to escape media attention. Lindbergh was later criticized for his isolationist views prior to American entry into World War II and statements that were seen as sympathetic to Nazi Germany. He ultimately supported the U.S. war effort after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
The document discusses the history and culture of Persians and Iran. It explains that Persia was formerly the name used for Iran in the Western world, though Iranians have referred to their country as Iran. It notes that significant Persian populations exist outside of Iran as well.
Floyd Bennett Field was New York City's first municipal airport, opening in 1931. During the 1930s, it became a hub for pioneering aviators attempting transatlantic, transcontinental, and around-the-world flights. Notable aviators like Amelia Earhart, Howard Hughes, Jacqueline Cochran, and Wiley Post used the airport for record-setting flights that advanced aviation technology and helped usher in its "Golden Age." Today, the airport is part of Gateway National Recreation Area and preserves the history of this important era in aviation.
The Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orville Wright, were two American inventors who created the world's first successful airplane. On December 17, 1903, the brothers flew the first fixed-wing aircraft they had developed near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Their invention started the aviation industry and they later founded the Wright Company to produce more airplanes.
William Smith was Sue Wyatt's great great grandfather who served as captain of several whaling ships in the late 1800s, including the Marie Laure from 1877-1884. Through archives research, Sue discovered records of William Smith's voyages as captain, bringing back sperm oil and whale products. As captain, William would have needed certification or qualifications. He married Sarah Ann Tedman in 1874 and had 10 children before retiring from whaling.
The document discusses Key West's role in various American military conflicts between 1898 and 1945. During the Banana Wars period, Key West became an important naval station due to its strategic location in the Caribbean. In 1912, nearly 2,800 US Marines were sent from Key West to Cuba to help restore order during a period of conflict there. During World War I, the US Navy expanded its presence in Key West by establishing one of the first naval air stations. Key West again took on strategic military importance during World War II as a major Navy complex with bases, airfields, and a sonar school, from which the US protected merchant shipping and attacked German U-boats in the Caribbean.

- The development of military aircraft and their
The document summarizes the history of the USS Ponce from its construction in 1966 to 1992. Some key details include:
- The ship was constructed in Seattle, Washington and launched in 1970, being christened USS Ponce after the city of Ponce, Puerto Rico.
- Over the following decades, the Ponce served various missions in the Atlantic and Mediterranean, including amphibious operations, humanitarian relief efforts, and aircraft carrier support.
- The ship achieved several milestones like its 20,000th safe helicopter landing and 30,000th safe landing. It also received various awards for safety and performance.
Queen Elizabeth II has reigned as Queen of the United Kingdom since 1952. She was born in 1926 and became heir to the throne when her uncle abdicated in 1936. Elizabeth married Prince Philip in 1947 and they have four children. As Queen, she modernized the monarchy and carried out many international visits to promote goodwill. Her reign has also experienced challenges like family divorces and public criticism over her response to Princess Diana's death. Despite difficulties, the Queen remains dedicated to her royal duties well into her 90s.
Matthew Flinders was a British navigator and cartographer who explored and mapped much of the Australian coastline. He made three voyages to Australia between 1791-1810, commanding HMS Investigator from 1801-1803 where he circumnavigated and charted the coast. Flinders was the first to circumnavigate Australia and recognized it as a continent, separate from New Guinea and New Zealand. He proposed the name "Australia" for the territory. Flinders was imprisoned on Mauritius for almost 8 years due to the Napoleonic Wars before returning to England, where he worked to publish his voyages and charts before his early death at age 40.
Alfred James Peacock was born in 1838 in England. In 1856 at age 18, he immigrated to Utah from England aboard the ship Thornton with the Willie Handcart Company. Along with about 500 others, he made the difficult journey from Iowa to Utah, but had to leave the company early in Wyoming due to winter weather. He eventually made it to Salt Lake City, where he lived and worked as a saloon keeper until his death in 1891.
Tony Jannus was an early American pilot known for pioneering commercial aviation. In 1914, he piloted the inaugural flight of the St. Petersburg-Tampa Airboat Line, the world's first scheduled commercial airline. During the 23-minute flight, Jannus carried one paying passenger. He later died in 1916 while training Russian pilots in a plane crash over the Black Sea. The Tony Jannus Award was created in his honor to recognize achievements in commercial aviation.
The Wright brothers, Wilbur and Orville, were pioneers of aviation. They opened a bicycle shop in 1892 and began experimenting with flight in 1899. In 1903, they achieved the first controlled, powered and sustained heavier-than-air human flight, flying the Wright Flyer near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. Over the subsequent years, they conducted many test flights and demonstrations of their aircraft, gaining fame and contracts. Their careful research into aerodynamics and development of flight control methods were key to their success in achieving powered flight.
Charles Kingsford Smith was an Australian pilot born in 1897 who was renowned for his pioneering flights, including being the first to fly across the Pacific Ocean. He served as a fighter pilot in World War I and was awarded a Military Cross. After the war, he performed aerial stunts and helped pioneer commercial aviation in Australia. In 1928, he flew from California to Brisbane, becoming the first to cross the Australian continent and Tasman Sea by plane. Kingsford Smith later went missing in 1935 during an attempted record-breaking flight, and his plane was never found. He received numerous honors for his achievements and contributions to aviation.

Biographical Note
James Albert Whitted (known as Albert Whitted) was born in St. Petersburg, Florida on February
14, 1893. Albert's father, Thomas Albert Whitted, traveled to the Pinellas area with his parents from
Boone, Iowa in 1878. Albert's mother, Julia Phillips, was the daughter of the Long Key settler Zephaniah
Phillips. After their marriage Thomas and Julia moved to what is now Gulfport in 1884. There they built a
house and had nine children, four of whom died at an early age. Their third child was James Albert
Whitted. Albert learned the basics of mechanics at a young age from his father, who was a mechanic.
When Albert graduated from St. Petersburg High School with his two brothers George and Clarence, he
was regarded as an expert mechanic himself and established St. Petersburg's first motorcycle shop.
In 1910 Whitted moved to New Haven, Connecticut for a brief period, where he took up
motorcycle racing before returning to his motorcycle shop in St. Petersburg. While in New Haven Albert
had become interested in aviation, and had acquired a part ownership in a Curtis land machine which he
had helped to build.
Early on in World War I, Albert Whitted enlisted in the aviation corps of the regular army. He
was sent to Pensacola in March, 1917. In August of the same year he qualified as a naval aviator and
received his pilot’s number 179 and is classed as one of the first 250 pioneer pilots of the navy. In August
1918, he became an instructor in small seaplane flying and later, with six other pilots, he was selected to
instruct the men in the flying of the bigger sea planes of the Navy such as the H-12. On September 25,
1918 Whitted was commissioned as a first lieutenant and just three days later he was made chief
instructor in advanced flying. Before being awarded a commission he had risen to the position of flying
instructor at Pensacola Naval Station. He held the distinction of being classed as one of the first 250

naval flyers and later was one of only six classed to fly the larger type of planes. Albert remained in the
Navy for a short period after World War I. He conducted maneuvers at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba and was
also involved in a plane crash in Pensacola along with a student that he was instructing. Albert, along
with a student aviator, fell over 1,000 ft. into the Pensacola Bay. Albert suffered only a bruise on his
nose and his student passenger suffered a broken arm. The crash was attributed to the student’s
excitement. In 1919 Albert received his commission as a junior lieutenant and was placed on inactive
duty.
On November 14, 1918 Albert married Frances Louise Brent (1894 – 1995) of Pensacola, Florida.
She was the youngest daughter of F. C. Brent. After their wedding, Frances and Albert lived at the Brent
family home in Pensacola. They also lived in St. Petersburg, where Albert was from, moving back and
forth between the two cities. By the end of 1922, shortly before Albert's death the couple had two
daughters, Catherine Eugenia "Jean," and Frances Louise "Fanty."
After being discharged from the Navy in 1919 Albert moved back from Pensacola with his wife.
Albert also brought with him commercial aviation to the city of St. Petersburg. Although it was Tony
Jannus who flew the world's first scheduled air transportation between St. Petersburg and Tampa in
1914, it is Albert Whitted whom local historians credit with truly introducing the people of St.
Petersburg to flying. Albert began his commercial aviation career out of a hangar on the Vinoy Basin in
St. Petersburg. He took passengers up for short plane rides in his seaplane the "Blue Bird.” Thousands of
residents and tourists went up with him in the next few years. In the summer of 1921, Albert designed
and built a larger and faster plane, the Falcon, in Pensacola which he brought back home to St.
Petersburg in the winter. The Falcon was an experimental airplane with a four-bladed propeller, which
Whitted was constantly adjusting and improving.
On August 19, 1923 Albert crashed his plane off of Pensacola and perished along with four
passengers. He had been flying along about two hundred feet above the water when a loose propeller of
his plane “Falcon” cut through the fuselage and severed wires needed to control the plane. After a
desperate effort to regain control of the plane it hit the water so hard that almost all passengers and
Albert were killed instantly. The plane had taken off only five minutes earlier. The only woman aboard
the flight was found floating by Mr. William E. King, a longtime friend of Whitted. She died upon being
pulled into the boat. The other passengers and Albert were all pinned beneath the plane. It took several
diving attempts to pull the men from the plane. The accident happened about forty miles east of
Pensacola near Camp Walton on the Santa Rosa sound. Albert had been making changes to the Falcon’s
design a short time before its crash. A new motor had just been installed at St. Petersburg before he left
for Pensacola and new wings were also added at that time. The increased speed was said to have put an
enormous strain on the propeller.
The funeral for Lieutenant James Albert Whitted, U.S.N.R.F. was held in his father-in-law's home
in Pensacola. He was laid to rest at St. Michael’s Cemetery. During his commercial air service business
Albert never had an accident and had carried more than 5,000 passengers.
After Albert's death in 1923 Frances lived as a widow in the Brent family house with her two
daughters, as well as a few of her brothers and sisters. While living there she met another Naval officer,
Harold Foster Fick, of St. Joseph, Missouri. Frances was remarried to Harold Fick in 1927.
In 1926 local leaders of St. Petersburg decided to construct a downtown airport, which they
named in Whitted’s honor.
