This historical document details the contemporary state of various aspects of aviation engineering at the time of the Armistice of 1918. It includes information on aircraft production, the Liberty Aircraft Engine, radio communications, and much more, and is a wonderful work for anyone interested in military aviation. This book is part of the World War One Centenary series; creating, collating and reprinting new and old works of poetry, fiction, autobiography and analysis. The series forms a commemorative tribute to mark the passing of one of the world's bloodiest wars, offering new perspectives on this tragic yet fascinating period of human history. Each publication also includes brand new introductory essays and a timeline to help the reader place the work in its historical context.

Not illustrated. 1911 Excerpt: ...the diaphragm in its motion must reverse with the reversal of the current and the deflecting impulse if applied directly to the telephone receiver will be first in one direction and then in the other with a frequency so high that the diaphragm cannot follow or respond. Furthermore, if the diaphragm should respond with this frequency the effect would not be audible. Also, in the case of the ordinary telephone, on account of the large self-inductance of the instrument, the high frequency E. M. F. generated by the waves would produce in a telephone receiver only extremely weak currents. I have found it necessary, therefore, and consider it an important part of my invention to make use of some form of integrating detector to transform these rapid oscillations into effects which can be manifested by the indicating instrument. In the drawings forming a part of this specification several modifications for the circuit connections are shown, and Figure 1 illustrates a form of circuit in which the high frequency oscillatory telephonic messages are impressed on the line by a bridge connection. Figs. 2 to 5 illustrate modifications of various transmitting circuits. Figs. 6 to 9 illustrate various receiving circuits. Figs. 10 and 11 illustrate modifications of the connections shown in Fig. 1. Referring to these figures in detail, Fig. 1 shows a common metallic circuit for ordinary telephony, across which are bridged the ordinary telephone sets B and B'. These telephone sets include the usual apparatus as in present use in local battery telephdne circuits, there being shown a microphone transmitter 1 with its local battery 2 and the primary of the transformer 3. Also, there is shown connected in the usual way the ringing circuit 4 and the switchhook 5 with its receiver 6...

George was born on March 21, 1865 at Dryden, Michigan, United States, the son of Almon Justice and Emily (Gardner) Squier.
He entered the army as a second lieutenant of artillery upon his graduation, seventh in his class, from the United States Military Academy in June 1887. During part of that time studying physics, mathematics, and chemistry at the Johns Hopkins University, where he received the degree of Ph. D. in 1893.
He also attended the Artillery School at Fort Monroe, Virginia, 1894-95.
After his graduation from the United States Military Academy in June 1887, for for the next six years Squier was stationed at Fort McHenry, Maryland.
After several brief assignments in various parts of the country, he attended the Artillery School at Fort Monroe, Virginia, 1894-95, and from November 1895 to April 1898 was instructor in its department of electricity and mines. During the Spanish-American War he served as a signal officer, attaining the rank of lieutenant-colonel of volunteers, and upon his return to the Regular Army was assigned to the signal corps as a first lieutenant.
He was in command of the cableship Burnside, 1900-02, laying submarine cables in the Philippine archipelago, and was superintendent of telegraph lines in the Philippine Islands for a year thereafter. Promoted captain in 1901 and major in 1903, he was signal officer in San Francisco, 1903-05, and assistant commandant of the Army Signal School, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, 1905-07.
After brief service in the office of the chief signal officer at Washington, 1911-12, he became military attache at the United States embassy in London, being promoted to lieutenant-colonel in 1913.
In 1912 he was also a delegate to the International Radio Telegraphic Conference in London.
Recalled to Washington in May 1916, he had charge of the aviation section of the signal corps until his appointment, February 14, 1917, as chief signal officer of the army, with the rank of brigadier-general. As chief signal officer he organized the cable and radio communications between military headquarters in the United States and the American Expeditionary Forces abroad. He was a representative of the War Department and technical adviser to the American delegation at the International Conference on Electrical Communications held in Washington, District of Columbia, in 1920.
During the following year he represented the Department of State at the sessions of the provisional technical committee at the International Conference on Electrical Communications in Paris, France, and in the fall of 1921 served as an expert assistant to the American commission at the conference on the limitation of armament held in Washington, District of Columbia.
He was an ex-officio member representing the War Department on the national committee of the International Electrotechnical Commission. He continued as chief signal officer of the army, with the rank of major-general after October 6, 1917, until his retirement at his own request, December 31, 1923.
After his retirement from the army he made his home at Dryden, Michigan, but spent a part of each year in Washington, District of Columbia. He died in Washington, District of Columbia, at George Washington Hospital on March 24, 1934 of pneumonia.
