Aviation in Britain Before the First World War A general view of the wreckage of Cody aircraft mark VIA with military and civilian bystanders. Cody and his passenger W H B Evans, captain of the Hampshire Cricket Club, were both thrown out of the aircraft from about 300 feet when the accident happened and died on impact with the ground. The reason for the crash given in the inquest was inherent structural weakness of the aircraft. This however was debatable Cody was aware of the dangers of aircraft disintegration and purposely built his aircraft both large and strong. Many, including Cody's son Leon (who, if it had not been for Cody taking Evans for a flight would have been in the aircraft himself), believed that the propeller had burst (broken) and had fatally damaged the aircraft's wing or tail spar. Another, highly plausible, theory, given by the engineer Paul Chapman in a 1998 lecture to the Royal Aeronautical Society commemorating the ninetieth anniversary of Codys first flight, s

The Russo-Japanese War (8 February 1904 - 5 September 1905) was the first great war of the 20th century which grew out of the rival imperial ambitions of the Russian Empire and Japanese Empire over Manchuria and Korea. The major theatres of operations were Southern Manchuria, specifically the area around the Liaodong Peninsula and Mukden, the seas around Korea, Japan, and the Yellow Sea. The resulting campaigns, in which the Japanese military attained victory over the Russian forces arrayed against them, were unexpected by world observers. As time transpired, these victories would transform the balance of power in East Asia, resulting in a reassessment of Japan's recent entry onto the world stage. The embarrassing string of defeats inflamed the Russian people's dissatisfaction with their inefficient and corrupt Tsarist government, and proved a major cause of the Russian Revolution of 1905.
