At the start of the twentieth century the United States led the world in advances in aviation, with the first successful engine-powered flights at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, and Dayton, Ohio, beginning in 1903. Fifteen years later, however, American airmen flew European-designed aircraft because American planes were woefully inadequate for service on the Western Front. Why was the United States so poorly prepared to engage in aerial combat in World War I? To answer this question, Herbert Johnson takes a hard look at the early years of U.S. military aviation, exploring the cultural, technical, political, and organizational factors that stunted its evolution. Among the recurring themes of Johnson's narrative are the damaging effects of a chronic lack of governmental funding for military aeronautics and the disruptive influence of a civilian "aeronaut constituency" both on military discipline and on public and Congressional attitudes toward army aviation. In addition, the Wright brothers' patent litigation hindered the technical development of American aircraft and crippled the domestic aviation industry's manufacturing capacity. Wartime experience helped correct some of these problems, but the persistence of others left the postwar Air Service with an uncertain and stormy future.

This family of eagles have already overcome the problem of weak eagle shells and leaving their home in the big city of Philly. I want this book to be an inspiration to children from the early parts of their lives. Shining Spirit is my way of describing some deep, emotional, and devastating parts of my own young life. Shine is a deep and inward place inside some children, but it is not called shine, yet. We all need that special someone, or to talk with God about our own souls. Parents hold the special keys to their special children. This book is about more than a new set of wings. The people in our lives all have a part of life that we would rather not acknowledge, some worse than others. The difference is, for the most part, we can see Shine's disability, all of us can be Shine. Shine has something that wasn't so far down inside him, something he started to utilize almost from birth. God will reach us if we open ourselves to His word and have that shining spirit inside also. Everyone can reach inside and become a better person because of God. We can do nothing of ourselves. I have tried to do my best without God, it didn't work. May God Bless you and all your loved ones. Matt. 28:18-20
