As recently as the summer of 2001, many travelers were dreading air transportation because of extensive delays associated with undercapacity of the system. That all changed on 9/11, and demand for air transportation has not yet returned to peak levels. Most U.S. airlines continue to struggle for survival, and some have filed for bankruptcy. The situation makes it difficult to argue that strong action is urgently needed to avert a crisis of undercapacity in the air transportation system. This report assesses the visions and goals for U.S. civil aviation and technology goals for the year 2050.

Consultant eye surgeon, Eric Arnott, was one of the original pioneers of small-incision surgery. He was the first to perform modern Phaco surgery in Europe and designed lens implants that have restored the sight to millions of patients. The word autobiography is simply insufficient to describe this book, which is a remarkable testament to the life, works and marriage of a remarkable man. The book details the original invention of the lens implant by Harold Ridley, who Eric worked with in his early years of medical training. It goes on to follow the development of small-incision Phaco surgery, instigated by Charlie Kelman, and the disinterest and contempt held by the peers of these ophthalmologic pioneers. The author describes every advance in this field of ophthalmology in fascinating detail. The importance to Eric of religion, spirituality, family life and helping others less fortunate than himself is reinforced in this enthralling and at times very amusing read. Arnott draws you into his narrative, rousing thoughts of disbelief as you are compelled to continue reading, each new chapter and event in his life proving as fascinating as the last. Entertaining and illuminating, A New Beginning in Sight provides a detailed history of ophthalmology and is essential reading for ophthalmologists, other specialists and non-specialists alike.

Thirty Buccaneer ‘Boys’, drawn from the Fleet Air Arm, the Royal Air Force and the South African Air Force, outline their experiences in the maritime role, operations overland, including the first Gulf War, and operations by the South Africans in the Border Wars. In addition to the aircrew, air engineer officers and ground crew have also contributed. The reader is left in no doubt that the ‘Buccaneer Boys’ knew how to work hard and to play hard. The skill, professionalism and excitement of operating and servicing this iconic British aircraft shines throughout every page. This book is lavishly illustrated with 100 black and white photographs and two-color plate sections of 40 photographs, many never previously published.

The Mystique of the Skies--As Heaven or Hell The book's subtitle provides an inkling of the wondrous and sometimes brutal activities of mankind in the sky. Since the first powered flight by the Wright brothers in 1903, the air above the Earth has enveloped countless instances of lifesaving aerial exertions and, on the other hand, vicious warmongering. The skies can be used for the benefit of, and also, the unwarranted deprivation and destruction of people. From personal experiences, and documented events in the history of aviation, the author's memoirs describe events illustrating the unpredictable nature of mankind. Interwoven are recitations of airborne bliss, tension, and unexplained aerial phenomena. Centuries-old cultural or racial customs often affect aviation endeavors and evoked personal conflicts which had to be resolved within the author's own perception of Spirituality. Occasionally, aviation-related dilemmas can catch a crewmember totally unprepared. Such occurrences can cause apprehension, a feeling of helplessness, or even terror. It is a heartwarming experience when such quandaries are resolved by the intervention of unseen forces, undefined by science or not fully articulated by religion. The writer regards flying as a combined physical, mental, and spiritual immersion in the medium of air, whether piloting a gigantic airliner or a fragile hang glider. A pilot, by virtue of being "up front" and particularly when transporting passengers, assumes the role of a committed, principled leader. This exemplifies the type of selfless leadership that is sorely needed in our world of human frailty.
