Fleet Fighters: Rise of naval air power
The year 1910 was a key year in the development of military air power. On November 14 that year a Curtiss biplane became the first ever to take-off from a ship. The aircraft flown by Eugene B. Ely flew from a 25.3m/83ft platform built over the bows of the US Navy Cruiser USS Birmingham. Within two months Ely had succeeded in landing a Curtiss on a ship, this time the USS Pennsylvania. These feats were considered by many as nothing more than stunts but Ely had shown that aircraft actually did not need dry land from which to operate. By combining one of man's oldest means of transport, the boat, with his newest, the aeroplane, a new means of waging war was born.
Britains first deck take-off came on January 10, 1912, when the Royal Navy's LT C.R. Samson flew a short biplane from staging erected over the gun turret of the cruiser HMS Africa. By 1915 Britain had two ships with 36.6m/120ft-long flying-off decks but were, however, fitted to a handful of Royal Navy ships and a Sopwith Pup using the HMS Yarmouth flying platform was launched against and subsequently destroyed a German Zeppelin - this action is believed to have been the earliest use of a 'carrier-borne' fighter for air defence.

Fannie & Freddie Better Together?; Plenty of Investor Updates; Broker Compensation Bill Opinion;
Posted To: Pipeline Press We've all been through regulatory changes before in the mortgage industry. Congress makes a law which is signed by the President, and then FHFA, Fannie, Freddie, HUD, etc. etc figure out what to do about it. Then they tell everyone that "x" number of months from now changes will take place, and then the large investors decide if and how they will implement those changes. Anyone looking for immediate word on changes will be sorely disappointed. Speaking of which, with regard to compensation changes , a mortgage industry veteran wrote to me and opined, "I don't get all this whining.
