Macchi MC 200 "Saetta"

Brown Kittel

Summary

The Macchi M.C. 200 “Saetta”, designed by the famous engineer Mario Castoldi, represented a significant evolution in the production of Italian fighter aircraft.Compared to the Fiat CR 32 and Fiat CR 42 biplanes, which still constituted the backbone of Italian fighter squadrons at the beginning of the Second World War, the Macchi M.C. 200 was characterized, together with its contemporary Fiat G.50, by a low-wing configuration and an all-metal structure.It made its first flight on 24 December 1937 and entered service in 1939: although equipped with a low-powered engine and armed only with a pair of 12.7 mm Breda-SAFAT machine guns, the Saetta’s design was very valid.	The Macchi M.C. 200 had no particular defects and was equipped with excellent capabilities for close combat.In fact, its handling was excellent and its stability in high-speed dives was exceptional: it could thus duel with the best Allied fighters and come out undefeated.	Only the Supermarine Spitfire could outperform it in a climb.On the other hand, its good flight characteristics were offset by low engine power, a barely sufficient horizontal speed and inadequate armament of only two 12.7 mm machine guns in the fuselage, synchronized for firing through the propeller.With the insignia of the Regia Aeronautica, it operated on almost all fronts of the Second World War, from the Mediterranean Sea to Africa, the Balkans and on the Eastern Front.The Macchi M.C. 200s were built:	By Aer.Macchi: 395 examples.	By Breda, which actually built the largest number: 556 examples.	By SAI Ambrosini: 223 examples.

The Day the Markets Roared - How...

Henry Kaufman, David B. Sicilia

Legendary economist Dr. Henry Kaufman shares a classic Wall Street story that has never been fully told: a firsthand account of the day in August 1982 that would define US economics for decadesDr. Henry Kaufman is the most famous economist Wall Street has ever seen, renowned well beyond the financial industry. He was the subject of New Yorker cartoons, had cameos in drama productions and two seminal literary works of the 1980s, was subject to death threats, and enjoyed the nickname "Dr. Doom." His pinnacle of influence arrived on August 17, 1982.That single day turned out to be the beginning of the world that we now live in. At the time, after painful years of high interest rates and the inflation of the late 1960s and 1970s, consumers were paying 17 percent and higher to borrow money. But by the end of one summer day almost 40 years ago, the stock market had undergone its second-biggest rally since WWII, while bond prices soared and interest rates plunged. Dr. Kaufman himself had written a memo that sparked this tremendous boom-and it set the global markets on fire, marking the start of almost four decades of US economic growth.The Day the Markets Roared answers the questions: • Why did Dr. Kaufman break with his longstanding bearish views to make a momentous prediction that spurred blaring headlines everywhere from Brazil to Beijing? • How could a private individual exercise such profound influence over global financial markets? • How did we get to today's rock-bottom and even negative rates? And what is their continuing impact on the economy, our financial markets and our livelihoods?The Day the Markets Roared is a firsthand, minute-by-minute account of one remarkable day in financial and economic history, with a rich cast of characters, from Salomon's John Gutfreund to interest rate guru Sydney Homer, to Dr. Kaufman's longtime friend, Fed Chairman Paul Volcker. Dr. Kaufman reflects on the lessons of the historic August 1982 episode, harkening back to a more optimistic moment in American history, and offering inspiration for better times ahead.

Spin Doctors - How Media and...

Nora Loreto

As Canada was in the grips of the worst pandemic in a century, Canadian media struggled to tell the story. Newsrooms, already run on threadbare budgets, struggled to make broader connections that could allow their audience to better understand what was really happening, and why. Politicians and public health officials were mostly given the benefit of the doubt that what they said was true and that they acted in good faith.
		 
This book documents each month of the first year of the pandemic and examines the issues that emerged, from racialized workers to residential care to policing. It demonstrates how politicians and uncritical media shaped the popular understanding of these issues and helped to justify the maintenance of a status quo that created the worst ravages of the crisis. Spin Doctors argues alternative ways in which Canadians should understand the big themes of the crisis and create the necessary knowledge to demand large-scale change.
