Aviation Techniques General: The British had acquired several more carriers before the Americans, in 1922, completed the conversion of the 11,000-ton collier Jupiter into their first carrier, the Langley (CV1). By 1927 two projected American battle cruisers had been converted into the 33,000-ton Lexington and Saratoga. By that time, Japan had built the 7,500-ton Hosho and had converted the Kaga and Akagi from battleship and battle cruiser hulls, respectively. Carrier design, like naval aviation techniques general techniques in general, proceeded slowly, with constant experimentation, between the wars.
HARMON, Millard Fillmore, Jr. (1888-1945), American lieutenant general, who commanded the Army Air Forces in the Pacific in World War II. He was born at Fort Mason, San Francisco, Calif., on Jan. 19, 1888, and graduated from the U. S. Military Academy in 1912. After infantry duty, he learned to fly at the Army aviation techniques general School in San Diego. He went to France for further flight training and combat flying in World War I. Between World Wars I and II he commanded various aviation techniques general units.
In my own three and a half years of industrial photography for North American aviation techniques general, I shot a total of about 7,000 pictures, but I doubt that a hundred of those pictures were taken for their beauty alone. Though some of the rest were highly pictorial, they were shot for a purely practical purpose, to convey a message. It may give you an inkling of the importance of the Camera in a large factory to know that there were more than a hundred employees in the photographic department of North American aviation techniques general.
Nearly every really large industry has its own photographic department nowadays, but the small and medium-sized factories are a happy hunting ground for the freelance industrial specialist. Most of them now are forced to rely on the services of general commercial photographers for the pictures which they need, and many would be happy to switch their accounts to an expert, a specialist in industrial photos. |
