Maths Challenge Pack (Year 6)

In the dark days of World War I, when flying machines, radio, and electronics were infant technologies, the first remotely controlled experimental aircraft took to the skies and unmanned radio controlled 40-foot high-speed Motor Torpedo Boats ploughed the seas in Britain. Developed by the British Army's Royal Flying Corps and the Royal Navy these prototype weapons stemmed from an early form of television demonstrated before the war by Prof. A. M. Low. The remote control systems for these aircraft and boats were invented at RFC Secret Experimental Works commanded by Prof. Low, which was part of the organization of 'back-room boys' in the Munitions Inventions Department. These audacious projects of Low and his contemporaries led to the hundreds of remotely controlled Queen Bee aerial targets in the 1930s and hence to all the machines that we now call 'drones'. Starting well before WWI and, for the lucky ones, extending well beyond it, the lives of Archibald Low and many of his contemporaries were extraordinary as were the times they lived through. They witnessed many dawns, the coming of the oil and plastics age and of domestic electricity. They experienced vast social improvements and the pasturing of the working horse in favor of motor transport. They were around for the first epic aircraft flights and with the aid of the very technologies that had enabled the development of drones, they saw air travel transformed from the precarious to the routine. It is astonishing that the origins of the first drones are not common knowledge in Britain and that the achievement of these maverick inventors is not commemorated.

The Dawn of the Drone

Michael Oneal

Real estate tycoon Sam Zell had big ideas for Tribune Co. when he took control of the media conglomerate in late 2007 through an $8.2 billion leveraged buyout. But the iconic company, parent of the Chicago Tribune, filed for bankruptcy less than a year later. This marked the beginning of a four-year odyssey through Chapter 11 reorganization—brought on by falling advertising revenue amid a $13 billion debt burden that the deal created. The company's saga mirrored the U.S. financial crisis, in which speculative risk using exotic investment instruments helped trigger what became known as the Great Recession. When the company finally emerged from court protection at the end of 2012 under new ownership and a newly appointed board of directors, it did so with a diminished value and a tarnished reputation. Chicago Tribune reporters Michael Oneal and Steve Mills rely on thousands of pages of court documents, dozens of interviews, and hours of observation in U.S. bankruptcy court to tell the story of Tribune Co.'s journey through bankruptcy. They place a spotlight on the key decisions and missed opportunities that marked a perilous time in the history of the company, the media industry, and the economy. Their four-part series, repackaged into The Tribune Saga: A Leveraged Buyout, An Insatiable Wall Street and a Bankruptcy Odyssey, serves as a compelling resource for law, business, and journalism students and for anybody interested in how Zell’s buyout of Tribune Co. became “a messy product of the unchecked Wall Street deal-making and aggressive financial engineering that soon would threaten the American economy.”
