New Smyrna Beach man earns top FAA honor - The Daytona Beach News Journal | NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- George Baker's love affair with military aircraft began as a teenager in New Jersey.

This world-famous training aircraft served with the South African Air Force (SAAF) from 1940 until 1995 (where it was known as the Harvard, rather than the Texan, following Royal Air Force nomenclature). Several examples are still flying with the SAAF Museum in that country. A reader in South Africa, Hannes S., came across that article, and sent me the two photographs below. He describes them as follows (I've translated his Afrikaans e-mail into English): The first picture shows a very low pass by a single Harvard over a group of Army candidate officers on the...
“Barnstormer” by Harrison Covington — a sculpture by travelforaircraft | Where would aviation's lore be without the barnstormers? After WW I there was a surplus of aircraft, notably Curtiss Jenny's, as well as pilots. Quite a few of these daring pilots bought a Jenny and proceeded to tour the country, flying into small and large communities alike to perform aerobatics and offer rides for entertainment. Perhaps this did more to infuse aviation into the fabric of the United States than anything else. The precursor to the airshow — the barnstormer — brought aviation to the regular person in this country. Clerks, daughters, sons, farmers and workers — saw for themselves the freedom of flight....
