in 1799, Sir George Cayley, a baronet in Yorkshire, near Scarborough, England, conceived a craft with stationary wings to provide lift and "flappers" to provide thrust. It also had a movable tail to provide control. So convinced was he that this idea is an earth-shaker, he engraved a drawing of this craft on a silver disk. Cayley wass the first to separate the different forces that keep an aircraft in the air, and his engraving was the first recorded drawing of a fixed-wing aircraft -- an airplane. So It was dear old blighty that came up with it.

I know this is not exactly THE answer.  I had a similar problem with the 62 Aerial Support MAC.  Simply enough I went to Google and typed in my old Military Airlift Unit (MAC) at McChord AFB Tacoma or just McChord AFB and sure enough a full history on their own webpage. Worth a try. Good luck.

The RQ-3 Dark Star unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was operated by the US Air Force is the coolest military planes till date.\n\nThe Dark Star can take off, fly to its target, operate its sensors, transmit information, return and land without human intervention.It carried either an optical sensor or radar, and could send digital information to a satellite while still in flight.\n\nthe first such example had been used in the 2003 invasion of Iraq.

The US ARMY in 1966. The military used it since then to communicate and share data. The military can still control it and can shut it off without warning. Go ahead and laugh. It is true no matter what Al Gore says.

Here's a firm that has German parachute wings:\nhttp://www.milprom.com/German/badges/superior-badges-3.htm\n\nIn the German army the Parachutist Badge (Fallschirmschützenabzeichen) was first established by order of Hermann Göring on November 5, 1936. It was first awarded to all soldiers of the Luftwaffe who finished the parachute training and accomplished the required number of jumps. The award was made of silver and depicted a diving eagle holding a swastika in the claws and surrounded by a silver wreath. It was worn on the left breast, above the pocket. On September 1, 1937, General Werner von Fritsch introduced similar badge for all the Wehrmacht soldiers who also met the requirements.

A helicopter gets its power from rotors or blades. When its rotors are spinning, a helicopter doesn't look much like an airplane. But the rotor blades have an airfoil shape like the wings of an airplane. So as the rotors turn, air flows more quickly over the tops of the blades than it does below. This creates enough lift for flight.
