Subject for Monthly teaching article posted on our website. I am redesigning the site so I am trying to develop a way of graphically dealing with the article subjects for the front page.
The biggest threat to the US Navy's aircraft carriers in the early 1950s came not from the Soviet Union, but the US Air Force. With jet-powered strategic bombers, many questioned why the Navy needed expensive carrier battlegroups at all. With the US armed forces adopting an "all-nuclear" force, the Navy needed a bomber capable of delivering a nuclear payload. The Lockheed P2V Neptune could be launched from carriers, but was too big to land. The North American AJ-1 Savage could launch and land, but was propeller-driven and too slow to survive over the USSR. Finally, in October 1952, famous Douglas aircraft designer, Ed Heinemann, delivered his latest masterpiece: the A3D Skywarrior.
The Skywarrior was, in a word, huge; sailors quickly nicknamed it "Whale." The largest aircraft to operate from carrier decks, it had to be big to carry the large nuclear bombs of the 1950s. Despite its size, the A3D was surprisingly docile, though engine problems kept it out of the fleet until 1956. It could not operate from the World War II-era Essex-class carriers, only from the later "supercarriers" like the Forrestal and Nimitz-classes. A lack of ejection seats led the three-man crews to joke that "A3D" stood for "All Three Dead." Nevertheless, the A3D did the job it was assigned to do, and rather well.
Technology rapidly outstripped the A3D, and only four years after it began operations, it was already obsolete in the nuclear bombing role--like its predecessor, it was too slow to survive over the USSR. It could be still used as a conventional bomber, and the Navy saw plenty of growth potential. Redesignated A-3 in 1962, a number of variants came into service, the most widely used of which was the KA-3B tanker.
Skywarriors would serve throughout the Vietnam War and well into the 1980s, although it was replaced or supplemented in all of its roles, primarily by A-6 Intruder variants. The Whale continued on because it could carry more than the A-6, when it came to fuel or electronics. By 1990, the A-3 was clearly at the end of its service life, and after a last hurrah with the First Gulf War, the A-3s were retired in 1991.
Dad photographed this EKA-3B Skywarrior at the 1977 Malmstrom AFB airshow. The EKA-3B could be used either as a tanker or as a standoff electronic countermeasures (ECM) jammer, using the sensors in the tail. By 1977, however, most were used solely as tankers, as the EA-6B Prowler was much more effective.
147657 was built originally as an A-3B bomber, then converted to a KA-3B for Vietnam service, then to an EKA-3B in 1968. At the time Dad got this picture, 147657 was assigned to VAQ-208, which maintained Pacific fleet refueling aircraft from NAS Alameda, California. It carries standard USN camouflage of the time, as well as three "E" engineering awards given to VAQ-208, and a Vietnam service ribbon beneath the cockpit. 147657 was retired in 1989 and scrapped in 2004, but the cockpit was preserved and is on display at the Kalamazoo Air Zoo in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

Straight ahead at the Ramsey Library,
University of North Carolina at Asheville (in the mountains).
The elegant mural above the desk is "Eight Views of Mt. Pisgah" by Robert Johnson (b.1944). It is intended to suggest many environmental trajectories for the Blue Ridge area--some beneficial and some not. Worth considerable study, which, sadly, not that many passersby seem to give it.

This photograph was taken by Nicholson Museum curator William J Woodhouse in Greece between 1890 and 1935.
Can you help us catalogue the Woodhouse photographic archive? Contribute by adding tags and answering the following questions in the comments below:
•What do you see? Write a brief description for this image.
•Where was this photograph taken?
•Can you find the geo co-ordinates (latitude and longitude) of this exact place? Let us know by linking to the google maps or add the co-ordinates in your comment.
•Do you know what year this photograph was taken?
About the archive:
The Nicholson Museum holds over 1800 glass-plate negatives taken by Woodhouse while in Greece in 1890s and early 1900s. A small portion of the archive also includes photographs of his family in the Blue Mountains, NSW, Australia. The collection documents important archaeological sites, significant landscapes of the Greek mainland, contemporary buildings and the people he met along the way. His archive is a rich resource capturing many sites pre-archaeological excavation and before modern industrial development. Some of the photographs were published by Woodhouse in his book 'Aetolia: its geography, topography, and antiquities' published in 1897. His desire to capture Greece on 'film', was simply put in his introduction: "History only attains its full value by borrowing actuality from geography and topography". The archive shows his love not only for the sites but also for the people and spirit of Greece.
About the project:
We are asking you to contribute to our documentation of this collection and assist us with the identification of the hundreds of different monuments and places in Greece. The title of each photograph will include the museum registration number (NM2007.##.##) and may already include a place name where museum staff or Woodhouse himself have titled the image.
All of our flikr contributors will be acknowledged when the collection is published through our online collections at the completion of the project.

Molly’s black belt test begins with a written test, which she’s been studying for for years. Questions include things like who created the Kyokushin style of karate, where, and in what year.
