Some of you may recall that, some time ago, I posted a regular thread on landmarks in the history of military aircraft. After a while I stopped posting, ostensibly because, I began putting together a website.

This website was in the making for some time. As more and more people began expressing an interest in my work as a historian, I thought it might help to simply begin posting some of the work online for all to see. So, as my first public announcement of its existence, I want to share it with all of you here on the Exchange. (I was going to announce its existence on Hyperscale as well, but I have long lost my account information there.)

http://www.gblume.com

Of primary interest to all of you will be the Timeline of Strategic Aviation. What began as a way for me to organize my thoughts for a potential book has become a monster of its own. I make additions to it 2-3 times a week, and it is chock-full of information I’m sure would be interesting to those of you fascinated with the history of heavy bombardment. It is posted under Articles, and due to its ever-growing size, is broken down by era.

My PhD work was in US, military, and cultural history, so my articles tend to follow those paths. In addition to military history, I have written several articles on the music and film industry, as well as occasional movie reviews, with special attention to films on historical events. This includes a review on Dunkirk posted just last week. I also post drawings made by my wife and myself whenever time permits us to do so.

In the future I hope to post podcasts, lectures, and videos, but for now, writing and research is where everything is at.

Hope you guys like it and I look forward to any comments, requests, or questions anyone may have.

Cheers!

I almost forgot to mention that I have, linked throughout the timeline, transcribed several original documents that may be of some interest. These include audio recordings of actual intercom chatter and, for example, the Eaker Plan which formed the basis for USAAF operations in the ETO during the Second World War.
