Ok so cool we are publishing! Well for the 16th of September 2014 we have the PT-19
which was built by Fairchild aircraft company this company had a niche in putting the first cameras on aircraft and in 1935
during the dust bowl they got a contract with the goverment to take pictures of the land for scientific purposes and study!
The Fairchild PT-19 was a mono-plane two place open cockpit design that was made from steel tube and wood and was very nice
to fly thousands were sold after the war as war surplus! It had several designations the PT-19 PT-23 and PT-26 depending on
the type of powerplant installed! over 6,397 were built but we do not have a price per unit! Fairchild subsidised reaserch
from it's Fairchild instrament division into the invention of the transistor and later went on to design the first micro-chips
for computers and they were the first company to start out in silycon valley where they sold licenses to build transistors
which came from scientific reaserch associated with the nobel peace prize money in 1956! Getting a contract with the U.S.
airforce for transistors to be used on missiles such as ICBM's and NASA space vehicals Fairchild was connected to Dornier
Fairchild aerospace in the late 1990s around 2001(9/11) but went out of business replaced by a Israeli defence contractor
based in the U.S.! That is the time of the Dot com boom that went bust and when little Tinker formed his airplane space-ship
company Air Boy Tibet Inc 1995 here in Port Solerno, Florida using money he had saved from his federal employees credit union!
For the 20th of September 2014 the Douglas A-20 Havoc, DB-7,Boston,P-70 night fighter it first flew in January 1939 it
was exported early in the war over 7478 were built but we don't have a price!
It was used by several allied country's and flew many misson's in Lybia and north Africa against Rommel!
For the 21st of September is interesting the XB-21 built by North American aviation in Inglewood California only one was built
but its new turbo-supercharged engines impressed army procurement officals! After major changes it was later to become the
NA-39 and NA-40 projects and then became the B-25 Mitchell bomber! Even though it the XB-21 program was sometimes re-fered
to as the Dragon it was not the Dragon was built by Douglas that was the XB-22 and then the B-23 Dragon! That is really interesting
that these planes fall on the week end in September!
For the 21st-22nd
is the Fall equinox and for any and all purposes the Douglas B-23 Dragon first flew on July 27th 1939 and next Saturday
is the 27th of September 2014 Saturday is the Sabbath in orthodox Jewish religion!
The V-22 Osprey built by Bell Boeing cost's $69.3 million dollars each over 200 have been built and it first flew on 19 March
1989! Entered service in 13 June 2007 and then we have the XB-22 which was the fore runner of the Douglas B-23 Dragon
On the 22nd of September 2014! and of course the Douglas B-23 Dragon of which there were 38 built and many of them turned
into transports called the UC-67! Howard Hughes flew one as a modified executive transport! One Time near a town in Brownsville
Texas I found an old aircraft storage area and looked around in the early 1970's I checked out a Martin B-26 Marauder that
had a remodeled interior for flying one of the Texas elected officials in around in, in the 50's and early 60's
true story!
Another aircraft for the 22nd I guess that is new and
being used is the Lockheed Martin stealth fighter the F-22 Raptor jet that took part in the bombing raids going on right
now in Syria and Iraq against this terrorist army that has arisen in the Mid-east! Over 195 have been built at a fly-away
cost of $150 million each as of 2009 it first flew on 7 September 1997 and was introduced in 2005! the aircraft is produced
by both Lockheed Martin and Boeing Defense Space and Security!
For September
the 24th 2014 the A/C codex code is the Consolidated B-24 Liberator armed with an army contract to build B-17's under license
Ruban Fleet the president of Consolidated thought he could design a better bomber and in March 1939 a contract was awarded
to build a prototype the B-24 which was first called the LB-30 (Land bomber), ( there are 30 day's in September) ended
up being the most produced war plane ever put into production over 18,482 were built at a cost of $297,627 each about $4.77
million in todays money! Half were built by the Ford Motor company and many were turned out at the B-24 assembly plant called
Willow Run which produced a B-24 at a rate of one an hour!
