Brownell, U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. Produced by Erpi Classroom Films, Inc. „^„^ A companion reel to the film THEORl OF FLIGHT. Describes the use of the plane a controls in taking off, climbing, banking, stalling, spinning and recovery, diving, gliding and landing. Superimposed animated diagrams help to clarify the action of forces acting on the plan while executing these maneuvers , , Gliding and landing are given special consideration by demonstrating both correct and incorrect technicLues SMOKE STREAMS. Bray 1943 30min si b&w $90. rent $4 629.123 c-ad Produced by Franklin Institute A visualized study of aerodynamic and air-flow phenomena. The 43 scenes illustrate the nature of flow around objects and are classified under the headings of lift, drag, high lift devices, downwash effects, tip losses, and miscellaneous flow phenomena STABILITY.

Part 5 of a series of 6 films THEORY OF FLIGHT. EBF 1941 llmin sd b&w (Physics series) $50, rent $2.50 629.123 jh-sh-c-ad Guide Educational consultants: R. J. Stephenson, University of Chicago and Lt. W. T. Brownell, U.S. Marine Corps Reserve. Produced by Erpi Classroom Films, Inc. Illustrates the application of physical laws to forces acting on airfoils. Wind tunnel tests demonstrate the relation of air velocity to lift and drag on plain and cambered airfoils. Control of airplane movements about vertical, lateral, and longitudinal axis by means of the rudder, elevator, and ailerons, respectively, is demonstrated in pitching, rolling, and yawning THRUST.

Part 3 of a series of 6 films 629.125 Air navigation CELESTIAL NAVIGATION (3 parts). UWGovt 1942 sd b&w 629.125 c-ad Produced by U.S. Navy THE EARTH (17min, $22.83): This film explains the positions and significance of the lines of latitude and longitude on the earth "Very technical — for pre-aviation classes only." Collaborator CHARTS (19min, $24.99): Pictures, maps, diagram, and a sound commentary are used to explain Mercator charts, gnomonic projections, and Lambert comformal projections "Very technical — for pre-aviation classes only." Collaborator NAUTICAL ASTRONOMY (24min, $30.14): Shows the placing of celestial coordinates in relation to the earth. Reveals use of declination, zenith point, nadir line, and solstices in celestial navigation S.mso . CELESTIAL NAVIGATION (6 parts). UWGovt 1944 sd b&w 629.125 c-ad Produced by the U.S. Army Air Forces BEARINGS. SINGLE LINE OF POSITION AND FIXES (19min, $25.69): Defines bearing, line of position, circle of equal altitude, fix and intercept, plotting of assumed position and intercept, and selection of celestial bodies for observation INTRODUCTION AND LOCATION OF CELESTIAL POINTS (18min, $24.26): This motion picture deals with the basic principles of the location of points on the celestial sphere LATITUDE BY POLARIS (lOmin, $13.18): Relationship between latitude and elevated pole, position and diurnal path of Polaris, and reduction of altitude of elevated pole. Description of the methods of solution of the altitude of Polaris by mathematical formula and the use of tables POSITION FINDING ON THE EARTH (15min, $20.68): Overall view of the principles of celestial navigation and deals with positionfinding on the earth. Starting with an introduction explaining longitude and latitude and the determination of geographic position, it moves very quickly into a discussion of the Greenwich hour angle, local hour angle, and sidereal hour angle. There follows a discussion of celestial triangles and the use of the various tables required to figure positions SOLUTION OF ILLUSTRATIVE PROBLEMS IN CELESTIAL NAVIGATION (32min, $38.72): Preflight computations and procedures in making a typical flight celestial navigation. Shows use of the sextant in shooting the stars, and plotting fixes by means of the H.O.-218, and the star altitude curves methods TIME (lOmin, $14.90): Explains various time elements in celestial navigation which are used in solving practical exercises RADIO NAVIGATION: BRACKETING AN UNKNOWN BEAM.

Bray 1943 lOmin sd b&w $45, rent $2 629.126 sh-c-ad Illustrates how to stall, spin, fly a steep . turn, mushing, ground looping, spirals, and acrobatics ATTITUDES OF FLIGHT (2 parts). CAA 1945 sd b&w (Primary flight training ser) free-loan 629.126 sh-c-ad Requests from those engaged in aviation education and training will receive priority PART I (15min): Discusses performance of the climbing attitude, the glide, straight and level flight, and the gliding turn. Reviews flight procedures for each attitude and orients the pilot in "the feel" of the operation. Stop motion clarifies correct attitude angles PART II (12min): Discusses performance of the 180° power on approach, out of the wind take-offs and landings, stall and recovery 470
