[underlined] The Molecular Theory of Magnetism [/underlined] All magnetic materials contain what are called molecular magnets, each molecule is in itself a magnet in the ordinary way these molecules are lying in a haphazard manner but when magnetised they arrange them selves in an orderly manner with their North seeking poles all pointing in the same direction, the theory of the rearrangement is supported by the fact that if a magnet is cut, the remaining pieces each have a red and blue pole.

There are 5 magnetic materials – lodestone, (which is a natural magnet), ferrous metals, Iron, nickel, cobalt & manganese. These materials, allowed with other metals still retain their magnetic properties but the resulting magnetic force is weakened by the inclusion of non magnetic materials. In a magnet the magnetic poles are roughly one eight of the length of the magnet distance from each end. The distance between them is the effective length (like poles repel & unlike poles attract). The pole which points north is called the North seeking or red pole & the one which points south the South seeking or blue pole.

Transcription Text transcribed from audio recording or document We had arrived at PORTICI to the South of Naples, [inserted] staying [/inserted] in a dirty old multi Storied warehouse, with a view of Vesuvias [sic] one side, a view across Naples [deleted] Boy [/deleted] BAY the other, next to a military prison (“glasshouse”), with a constant queue of young local children, lining up to share out our swill bin. We had arrived as crews from O.T.U’s in PALESTINE via CAIRO, courtesy of USAAF DAKOTAS, awaiting postings to 205GP, six Wimpey squadrons on the ADRIATIC side of ITALY, on the FOGGIA plains, on the far side of the APPENINES. Rome had just been liberated so my Australian pilot, a Canadian pilot that he had trained with in Canada, and myself, decided to go and have a looksee. Out to the AUTOSTRADA, [indecipherable word] at the ready and in no time we were on the back of a 6 x 4 G.M.C. heading NORTH. We had a BLACK AMERICAN for company, he introduced himself as JESSE OVENS [sic] the Athlete who had enraged HITLER by winning 5 or 6 GOLD medals at the BERLIN OLYMPIC. We also had for company about six 250lb bombs, unsecured [page break] [circled] 2 [/circled]. & rolling around the floor. Along & through Cassino where not one brick stood upon another, and other not so pretty sights, we made ROME. Stayed one night is a bug ridden HOTEL, half the night chasing bugs with lighted candles, dropping hot wax on them to immobilise them. Sightseeing & joining various AMERICAN chow lines to assuage our hunger, being thrown off when they realised we werent [sic] one of theirs, we stayed three days then made our way back to NAPLES. We crossed the montains [sic] in our trucks in a continuous line of vehicles, mostly with HELL DRIVERS headboards, all Americans cigars clamped in their teeth & one foot hanging out of the door. to “FOGGIA” where sixteen or so crews were distributed around 3 airfields with 2 squadrons on each. My Squadron 37 shared with 70 sqdn and the other side of the airfield was [page break] [circled] 3 [/circled] taken up by the 99th Bomb Group B17 Fortresses of the 15th Air force. After a couple of days sorting out our tents etc the pilots were sent off on their experience trip, my pilot went down over MILAN with a South African crew on their 40, tour [indecipherable word] trip, no survivors. One other of the pilots got hit in the hip by a cannon shell & went [deleted] T [/deleted] back to Canada. Our crew became headless and I was stood in to a crew whose NAVIGATOR went sick it was piloted by the CANADIAN that I had been up to ROME with, his first operation and mine, we had pandemonium when the photo flash started to misbehave, but we survived. Then a South Africa Lieutent [sic] pilot who had baled out over Nth Italy rowed back along the coast, bringing back to AUSTRIAN (GERMAN) Soldiers who didn’t want to [page break] [circled] 4 [/circled] fight any more. Since the “A” flight commander had a full length plaster on his leg and could barely move, they made this South African up to Captain & he became “A” flight commander (there being no one else) he then took over my crew and we were complete. Being Flight Commander he was only allowed to fly spasmodically so I was still called on to do odd boding. Another duty was to collect people from the glasshouse in PORTICI who had gone AWOL and absconded to NAPLES, I would be taken to the taxi track in the Captain’s V8 Woody Ford to await the Foggia Ferry Mail plane, a old decommisioned [sic] B17. [page break] [underlined] 5 [/underlined]. which toured around carrying mail & odd bods like myself, the old Fortreess [sic] rolled out, stopped with a loud brake squeal, a door would open & I would pile in & get where I could, then over to Pomigliano at NAPLES, thumb down to the Glasshouse & sign out the prisoner, and if there were no more flights we would sleep on the floor of the MALCOLM club for the night with the prisoner & carry on the next day. They issued me with a revolver but no bullets, more for my own protection than anything else, but I had no problems, they were glad to be getting over it, living in the slum of NAPLES.

Sgt. Allen G. Gould – 1605203, was born in 1923, after leaving school in Bournemouth at 13, he worked for the Danish Bacon Company until being called up in 1943. Choosing to join the RAF, initially wanting to be a Navigator, he ended up as a Flight Engineer, flying in the Short Stirling Mk. I, II, III and IV variants. Training at RAF St. Alban, then the Heavy Conversion Unit. Allen joined No. 620 Squadron, flying from various bases, RAF Chedburgh, RAF Leicester East and then RAF Fairford. The roles for this squadron were not just bombing missions but Minelaying, Supply drops, Glider Towing and Paratrooper drops. He took part in D-Day, dropping paratroopers from the 6th Airborne Division over Caen, France on the night of 5th June 1944, returning on the 6th towing a glider of heavy equipment. He was also a part of Market Garden, towing a glider on 17th September 1944 and returning on the 19th and 21st on supply drops. There were also numerous drops on behalf of Special Operations Executive (SOE) as well as Special Air Service (SAS) dropping supplies and paratroopers. Andrew St.Denis Allen Gould was born on 16 June 1923 in Bournemouth. He left school at fourteen and worked for the Danish Bacon company until he was called up. His father having spent four years in the trenches, in WW1, advised him against joining the Army, so he volunteered for the Royal Air Force. He joined the RAF on in October 1942 and following basic training he attended the first-ever direct entry, Flight Engineers’ Course at RAF St Athan. On completion of flight engineering training, he joined up with his crew on 1657 Heavy Conversion Unit at RAF Stradishall, then moved with them onto 620 Squadron at RAF Chedburgh and later RAF Leicester East. The squadron later relocated to RAF Fairford where they trained to tow gliders. He was billeted with 12 others in a Nissan hut, conveniently close to a trout stream. They often caught trout, away from the watchful eye of the bailiff and cooked them in a tin on the large coke stove that heated the hut. The illicit bounty was a most welcome supplement to the barely adequate daily rations they received. Direct out of training with no aircraft experience he had to earn the trust of his crew who up until then had only come across experienced flight engineers. On only his second operational trip and flying with an inexperienced crew, they arrived late over Ludwigshafen, where they found themselves alone and under concentrated anti-aircraft fire. The aircraft was being peppered and was full of holes while the pilot was executing extreme manoeuvres trying to avoid further damage. A fuel tank was hit and Allen had to work hard to ensure the engines received sufficient fuel to keep running. At the same time he had to make sure there would be enough fuel remaining to get back to the south coast of England for an emergency landing. As the aircraft approached the runway, the airfield lights went out and the pilot announced he was going to do another circuit. Allen told him, bluntly, he couldn’t as he didn’t have enough fuel, so the pilot made a steep turn and conducted a blind landing with no fuel to spare. Allen bonded well with his crew and in their free time they would often all go out to the pub together. Throughout his tour his squadron undertook a variety of roles, much of was it in support of the Special Operations Executive personnel, operating covertly in occupied Europe. They also trained to tow gliders and dropped parachuting troops on D Day. Allen completed 32 operations as a flight engineer with 620 Squadron and he totalled over 460 flying hours on Stirlings. PGouldAG1610.2.jpg (1600×2310) (lincoln.ac.uk) For his services to 620 Squadron, he was ‘Mentioned in Despatches’ for distinguished service. MGouldAG1605203-160708-13.2.pdf (lincoln.ac.uk) Post war, he married his wife, Norma, who was training as a mechanic at St Athan when he met her. PGouldAG1601.2.jpg (1600×2412) (lincoln.ac.uk) Allen was discharged in October 1946 having attained the rank of Warrant Officer. PGouldAG1604.1.jpg (1600×2330) (lincoln.ac.uk) He returned to the Danish Bacon company where he worked for another 40 years.

[Page break] (S.H.F.) Steady Horizontal Flight Relationship between Airspeed & Angle of Attack Economical Cruising Speed. S.H.F. is Flight at Constant Height at a Constant Speed. For an aircraft to be in S.H.F. the two following conditions must be satisfied:- Lift = Weight of Aircraft Thrust = Drag. An aircraft may be in steady H.F. at different angles of attack and different air speeds. For a given a/c at a given Weight, for each angle of attack there is one corresponding speed of horizontal Flight & 1 only. Assume a Stirling weighing 65,000 lbs is in S.H.F. at 6° Angle of Attack & 165 miles an hour. Thus the same aircraft could be flown at a greater speed but the angle of attack would have to be less than 6° x Similarly it could be flown at a less speed but in this case the angle of attack would have to be more than 6°. However, out of all these possible combinations of angle of attack & airspeed, only 1 angle of attack & thus only 1 corresponding airspeed will at the same time give minimum drag & hence maximum range. The angle of attack is the optimum angle and the corresponding airspeed is Economical Cruising Speed [Page break] The effect of Weight of Aircraft on Cruising Speeds. [Underlined] Example [/underlined] Stirling. Outward bound (Heavy) Recommended I.A.S. = 165 m.p.h. Homeward bound (Light) Recommended I.A.S. = 160 m.p.h. The reason for the above difference is the difference in weight carried on the two trips. No matter what the weight of the same aircraft, for maximum range it must be flown at the Optimum Angle of Attack. Thus the less the weight of the aircraft, the Less Lift required, hence the Less Speed required to give the Lift. [Page break] [Blank Page] [Page break] [Underlined] Engineering Science.

Increases steadily with altitude as Seen by the graph The increase is due to the [indecipherable word] in I.A.S. while the drag remains constant. The Altitude where the power required crosses the power available is the ceiling of the aircraft. This ceiling is not fixed because as the speed & load vary, the power required line varies if S gear is engaged at sea level the power available drops because of the higher temp of the S gear change + the extra power to drive S gear that due to the higher gear ratio the boost pressure can be maintained to a higher altitude. S gear always requires more fuel per H.P. than M therefore whenever possible M gear must be used. When cruising engage S gear only if the speed required cannot be obtained in M. [Page break] Climbing [Diagram] Gear change when climbing. The gear to use in a climb is always the one which is capable of giving the higher rate of climb. That is the one which gives the greater horsepower. From sealevel up to 9,000 ft M gear gives more HP than S despite the fact that at 9,000 ft the boost in M has dropped to +3 ½. From 9,000 ft on, S gear gives more H.P. than M. Therefore when climbing change to S gear at 9,000 ft or where the boost in M has dropped to +3 1/2. Performance. Range Flying – Big bomb load – smallest possible fuel load. Range Flying. This is the condition of Flight normally met in a Stirling, where the pilot is trying to obtain maximum miles per gallon. For this the petrol used per mile [Page break] must be best, and since each gallon of petrol is equal to a certain number of ft lb of work, the work done per mile must be best i.e. Drag must be a minimum. Since lift is fixed equal to weight, drag will be best when the lift drag ratio is greatest i.e. when flying at the optimum angle of attack. In flight it is impossible to measure directly the angle of attack sufficiently accurately to make sure of flying at the optimum angle. At the average outward load of 66,000 lbs the optimum angle can only be obtained by flying at 160 IAS. And on the return journey where the load is reduced to 55,000 average, the speed must be reduced to 155 IAS to maintain the optimum angle. Therefore the speed given above is the most economical and will give maximum A.M.P.G. [Diagram] [Page break] [Table] [Calculations] [Table] [Calculations] [Page break] [Calculation] Trip 1200 Fuel required 1900 Fuel Taken 1946 [Calculations] [Page break] With the exception given below the range obtainable in a Stirling is independent of the altitude at which the aircraft is flying. The reason is that as altitude increases the pilot must maintain the same IAS to get maximum range and is therefore encountering the same drag. Therefore the work done per mile is the same at all altitudes, and the range obtainable does not alter. [Underlined] Exceptions. [/underlined] At some altitudes the engine can get work out of petrol with greater efficiency than at others not therefore at the more efficient altitudes the range obtainable will increase. Above about 16,000 ft S gear must be engaged and below about 6,000 ft the engine is partly throttled, therefore at these particular altitudes engine efficiency drops and range is reduced. [Page break] [Table] Duration Cruising (Endurance) This condition is not very [indecipherable word] a Stirling It occurs when the pilot is trying to obtain Max Time in the air. The time is the air depends on the G.P.H. & will be the greatest when the G.P.H. is least i.e. when the H.P. is best. To reduce the H.P. Pilot must operate his revs & throttle and as he cuts the H.P. the speed will drop and the angle of attack will increase. As this happens the amount of control over the a/c becomes smaller. Minimum galls per hour are obtained [Page break] when the H.P has been reduced just sufficiently to allow the pilot, reasonable control. Range flying is minimum power. Duration flying is minimum work. For minimum control the pilot must maintain a certain I.A.S. and the power required to do this will increase steadily as altitude increases owing to the increase in TAS. Therefore gallons per hour will be best and duration greatest when flying at the lowest possible operational altitude. Calculation (1.) Enter Fuel Left. (2) Switch Tanks (3) Subtract Fuel [Page break] [Table] [Calculations] [Page break] [Underlined] Climbing [\underlined] During a climb the engines are working against 2 forces – Drag & Gravity & the rate of climb will depend on the amount of H.P. which can be used against Gravity. The H.P. used against drag increases steadily as forward speed increases but the thrust H.P available from the engines in a climb also increases as forward speed increases due to a steady rise in propellor [sic] efficiency. These 2 facts are shown by the 2 graphs – HP available & H.P. required against drag. [Diagram] From the graph is will be seen that the biggest margin of power available for climbing [indecipherable word] at about 160 IAS therefore this speed will give the highest rate of climb. To obtain this speed the engines are opened up to Max Climbing (2400 w +6) and speed reduced to 160 by adjusting the angle of climb.

We could not have made anything like sufficient munitions if it had not been for the mobilisation of woman-power on a very great scale. Here are the corresponding figures for women: [table] The figures show some striking features. The women in the “Services” today equal the total strength of the Army, Navy and Air Force when war broke out. The increase of males in the munition industries is only 600,000, and this is balanced by the fall in the numbers in order essential industries. But the women in the Land Army, on the buses, trains, trams, etc., have more than made good the number of men withdrawn from the “other essential industries” group as a whole; and, in addition, 1 1/4 millions have gone into munitions. The labour force of the munition-making industries has, therefore, grown from 3.1 millions to 5 millions, and the “essential” industries have kept up their numbers. This is the result of the employment of 2 million additional women in these two major groups. These two millions, plus the half-million recruited by the Services, have come partly from less essential trades of the unemployed. But far the greater number have been drawn from domestic duties. Thus, three-quarters of the men and a quarter of the women – or [italics] half the adult population of the country [/italics] – are in the Services, munitions or essential industries.

The enemy has done his best to make this our biggest problem. Out of 13 million houses existing at the outbreak of war, more than 4 1/2 million had been damaged by bombing up to the end of September. Of these, over 200,000 have been totally destroyed or damaged beyond repair, and 250,000 more rendered uninhabitable. The great majority of the damaged houses have not yet been fully repaired. As a measure of recent happenings, the flying bombs and rockets accounted for 81,000 of the houses destroyed or put out of use, and over a million of the four millions that have been damaged but are still habitable.

The chief features are: Consumption of flour, potatoes and milk is up – though in the case of milk, mothers and children get more and other folk less; Meat consumption is down by nearly one-third and only replaced to a small degree by canned meat; Butter is down by two-thirds, half of which is replaced by margarine; Fruit, tea and sugar are down by one-third. The report sums it all up by saying that “the nutritive value of the country’s total food supplies has fallen slightly between 1938 and 1943 but rationing and other measures have tended to reduce the irregularities in food consumption which existed before the war.” Clothing, Etc. The graph of other items shows that whereas expenditure on fuel and light has fallen by only 7 per cent., boots and shoes have been cut by a quarter; clothing by one-half; hardware, pots and pans by two-thirds; furniture, furnishings, radio, etc., by three-quarters, and cars, bicycles, etc., by nine-tenths. Though the number of normal civilian journeys has fallen, travelling by British and Allied forces has raised the passenger mileage to 60 per cent. over pre-war.

Transcription Text transcribed from audio recording or document “STATISTICS relating to the War Effort of the United Kingdom” sound like heavy reading. But the White Paper presented to Parliament yesterday under this heading will be a best-seller. Under its forbidding exterior it discloses facts about the war which, until yesterday, were most carefully guarded secrets, and in its tables and charts it summarises the material on which the higher direction and planning of the war have been based. In its simple, specific, statements of fact the man in the street will find recorded what he has done, and what he has had to put up with, in fighting this greatest of all wars. The government are to be congratulated on making the story public now instead of waiting until it has all passed into history. It is a story of which the country may be magnificently proud, and the fact that the figures can now be safely disclosed is a very encouraging sign of the approaching end. The Price First in all our minds come the three casualty lists – those of the fighting Services, the merchant seamen and the civilians. Here is the triple record: [table] [symbol] Injured and detained in hospital Of the civilians killed, 7,250 were children and 23,757 were women. These totals are fortunately much less than in the last war; and though much fighting has still to be done, we may hope to win through with a smaller actual loss of life than last time. Man-power But though actual losses are light, the war is on so great a scale and is so “totalitarian” that it has turned the life of the country upside-down to a greater extent than ever before. The best index of this disturbance is the mobilisation of man-power by Mr. Bevin’s department. The population of working age (men 14-64, women 14-59) was practically the same in 1939 as it is today, viz.: 16 million men and 16 million women. Of the 16 million men one-half are today in the fighting and whole-time Civil Defence services (4 3/4 millions) and in the munition industries (3 1/4 millions). Another quarter (4 millions) are in a group of occupations “essential to the war effort” – such as mining, shipping, internal transport, agriculture and Government service.

Transcription Text transcribed from audio recording or document SQUADRON LEADER BOB WAREING A PRISONER OF WAR Scunthorpe Double D.F.C. Baled Out From Blazing Plane A FRENCHWOMAN who handed a letter to a British Army officer entering liberated Fecamp and then slipping back into the crowd, was responsible for giving Mrs. Joan Wareing, of West Common Gardens, Scunthorpe, the first news that her husband, Squadron Leader Robert (Bob) Wareing. D.F.C. and Bar, is in German hands. [photograph] SQUADRON LDR. WAREING The letter, evidently from material dictated by Squadron-Ldr Wareing, was sent on to his wife It appears to be a translation into English by someone French, and says that his aircraft was “touched by a night fighter,” and had “fallen down in fire,” but that he had time to “jump off in parachute.” The letter goes on: “I got several important bruises and burns, but a French doctor attended them with great skilfulness. I hope soon to be in good health. I am now a prisoner in hospital at Le Havre.” The Army officer who sent on the letter says that as they were entering Fecamp, a woman gave him it (in an envelope addressed to Mrs Wareing) and slipped back into the crowd. “QUITE WELL” Further news comes from a Canadian flying officer who was in hospital with Squadron-Leader Wareing. With the approach of Allied forces, he says, the majority of the patients, including Bob, were moved inland, but the writer [missing word] left behind because he was a fracture case, and is now in England. The Canadian gives Mrs. Wareing the good news that her husband’s burns were rapidly improving, and those on his face had completely cleared up. He was quite well. Squadron-Leader Wareing was reported missing last month, but the official notification that he is a prisoner has not yet arrived. He is 27, and holds the D.F.C. and Bar for work on bombing operations, in one of which, in October, 1941, he attacked the German battleship Gneisenau. He was promoted Squadron Leader in 1943, and was awarded his Pathfinder’s Certificate in June this year. His parents and Mr. and Mrs. [missing letter] Wareing, of Cemetery-road, Scunthorpe, and his brother, Squadron Leader Stanley Wareing, also holds the D.F.C. SPITFIRES AND TYPHOONS HELP THE ARMY DESPITE poor visibility, bomb-carrying Spitfires and rocket-firing Typhoons yesterday flew some 400 sorties without loss. Operations consisted mainly of support work for the ground crews in the Calais and Dunkirk areas, while at Boulogne the aircraft operated under the visual control points on the ground. On more than one occasion the[missing letters] were instrumental in helping [missing words] the case on a canal near Dunkirk, where Canadians were facing German guns firing almost at point blank range.

Transcription Text transcribed from audio recording or document THE TIMES TUESDAY APRIL 27 1943 SOVIET NOTE TO POLES A DIPLOMATIC RUPTURE ANNOUNCEMENT BY M. MOLOTOV A special announcement by the Soviet Government, quoted by Moscow radio, says that the Soviet Government have decided to break off diplomatic relations with the Polish Government. The text of the declaration was contained in a Note handed by M. Molotov, the Soviet Foreign Commissar, to the Polish Ambassador in Moscow, M. Romer. The statement, which was broadcast from Moscow, was as follows:- The recent attitude of the Polish Government in respect of the U.S.S.R. is regarded as absolutely abnormal by the Soviet Government and as disregarding all rules and normal procedure governing the relationship of two allied countries. The campaign, hostile to the Soviet Government, started by the German Fascists concerning the Polish officers murdered by them in the area of Smolensk in the territory occupied by the Germans, was immediately seized upon by the Polish Government and in every way enlarged upon by the Polish official Press. Not only have the Polish Government failed to administer a rebuff to the perfidious Fascist calumny against the U.S.S.R., but they have not even deemed it necessary to address inquiries or requests for explanation to the Soviet Government in that connexion. The Hitlerite [missing words] THE TIMES THURSDAY MAY 6 1943 RUSSIA AND POLAND MARSHAL STALIN’S STATEMENT TO “THE TIMES” OFFER OF POST-WAR ALLIANCE The desire of the Soviet Government to see a strong and independent Poland has been expressed by M.
