*A Gentle Reminder* Wings for the Rising Sun: A Brief Survey of Japan's Aviation History Thursday, April 18, 2024 at 19:00 (JST)   The history of Japanese aviation offers countless tales of heroic achievements and dismal failures; of boundless enthusiasm and sheer terror; of brilliant ideas and fatally flawed strategies. Jürgen Melzer will tell some of them to draw an outline of Japan’s aviation history. He will start with the early strut-and-wire contraptions and go all the way to the launch of Japan’s first jet and rocket aircraft during the final stage of the Pacific War.  Please use this link to join via Zoom: https://lnkd.in/gSHGHuJA You will need the link and passcode provided in the confirmation email. This event is a part of YCAPS' "Getting to Know Japan Series". Dr. Jürgen Melzer is a historian of modern Japan specializing in the history of Japanese aviation. He teaches at Sophia University in Tokyo, and he is the author of "Wings for the Rising Sun: A Transnational History of Japanese Aviation" which was published by Harvard University Press in 2020. Dr. Melzer worked for fifteen years as an airline pilot for Lufthansa before pursuing the study of Japanese language and history, first at the University of London and then at Harvard University and Princeton University. Dr. Melzer’s current research focuses on Japan’s recruitment and training of flight crews before and during the Pacific War. He investigates how massive recruiting campaigns and new training concepts turned out thousands of pilots that would become the backbone of the country’s air arm. Format: This event will be recorded and published in our YouTube archive. Questions are encouraged during the live event.

An intriguing read of how Singapore become Asia's leading aerospace hub. Among the many critical events that led to the now $S13B+ aerospace industry, I learned that: - SIA's consistent purchase of Pratt & Whitney engines to power its Boeing 747 fleet led to the later set up engine MRO JV in 1992; - SIA selected Rolls-Royce engines for it's Boeing 777 prompted the later to set up engine MRO JV in 1995; - I am as young😉 as Changi Airport.. #aerospace

How did a country less than half the size of London become Asia’s leading #aerospace hub? #Singapore’s aerospace industry was birthed from existential necessity in the 1960s but its success was forged by the collective determination of government, companies, unions and institutes of higher learning to capture benefits from global trends and create good jobs for Singaporeans. EDB put “skin in the game” in the 1970s to encourage global companies to locate facilities here and hunted for investments in the 1980s as air travel surged. 1981 was special – Changi Airport opened and the first aerospace exhibition with flying displays was launched. There were periods with dark skies but the aerospace community banded together to keep the lights on and support workers. This year, the biennial Singapore Airshow – Asia’s most influential airshow where leading aerospace companies and budding players convene – has returned in force! Read EDB Senior Vice President Glory Wee’s account of the growth of Singapore’s aerospace industry and how our homegrown companies became global players in their own right. Stay tuned for a recap of exciting announcements from #SGAirshow2024 next week!
