About Mission Zero Hundred Hours
Currently 20 Veterans a day succumb to suicide. We feel this number should be Zero. In military time 00:00 (Zero Hundred Hours) is the start of a new day. Mission Zero Hundred Hours, in its name, is the start of a new day for many struggling Veterans. We believe competition BBQ can provide a familiar, structured, and mission centric environment to Veterans, that helps struggling vets channel their energies toward healthy goals and finding a new support network through the extended Competition BBQ Family. Veterans have the opportunity to cook with teams as part of our effort, and mission, to raise awareness and end Veteran Suicide; by embedding Veterans with BBQ Cook Teams for an immersive BBQ Mission.

Two Hundred Years of Aviation Highlights Condensed into One Book

A must-read for anyone who enjoys aviation history.

Atlanta, GA and Thomasville, NC – WEBWIRE



Follow the adventures of aviation pioneers Sir George Cayley, the Wright brothers, Charles Lindbergh, Wiley Post, Amelia Earheart, R. J. Mitchell, Sir Geoffrey de Havilland, Alland Loughead, Frank Whittle, and Kelly Johnson. Explore flight history’s notable events and their developments such as the very first flight, the first transatlantic flight, the first around-the-world flight, and more.



“Sir George Cayley (1773–1817), the ‘Father of Aviation,’ proceeded to study bird flight in considerable detail. He did provide the concepts and fundamental principles of aviation but did not make the first flight in an airplane; that honor went to the Wright brothers—86 years after Cayley died.”



Author Norman Currey’s life revolved around airplanes. Born in Yorkshire in 1926, he joined the Air Training Corps as a teenager, attended the de Havilland Aeronautical Technical School for four years at Harfield, worked as a stress engineer at de Havilland on the Comet, and then sailed to Canada where he was a design engineer at Avro Aircraft for 10 years. He then worked Lockheed for 30 years on the C-130, C-5, JetStar and conducting research and development in their Preliminary Design department. Since retirement, he did some consulting and presented lectures to the South Korean Agency Defense Development. He is a Chartered Engineer (UK) and a Fellow of the Royal Aeronautical Society, and has published many articles, presented papers at two SAE Systems Conferences, and has published a book on landing gear design (AIAA).



“Airplane Stories and Histories” chronicles 200 years of aviation highlights including the exploits of pioneers such as Sir George Cayley, the Wright brothers, and many more. The author—an airplane engineer—lends his expertise, experience, and heavy research to allow his readers to explore how everything started in aviation until the advent of drones. He provides an extensive bibliography for those who wish to explore subjects in greater depth. This informative and educational book will be a delight to engineering, history, and airplane enthusiasts all over the world.
