Microsoft Dynamics GP Development: Dexterity, eConnect, Extender
If you have Microsoft Dynamics GP (earlier versions known as Great Plains Dynamics, eEnterprise, Great Plains Accounting for DOS, Windows and Mac) as your Corporate ERP, and you plan to undertake customization project, please read this small publication to get information session on Dynamics GP modification tools. We will concentrate on Microsoft Dexterity, eConnect SDK programming and Extender, as in our opinion other tools are derivative from either Dexterity or eConnect. If you need additional information on such tools as Integration Manager, Modifier with VBA, Web Services for Dynamics GP, please feel free to visit our web site or search official whitepapers on Microsoft Business Solutions portal:
1. Great Plains Dexterity, currently this Integrated Development Environment is known as Microsoft Dexterity. Dexterity was created as the shell to abstract Great Plains Dynamics from the Operating System and Database Platform layers back in earlier 1990th. Dexterity shell was programmed in C++ language, as it was common believe those days that C is operating system and computer platform independent (as in nowadays we believe that XML and HTML are computer platform independent as well). Since the time when Microsoft acquired Great Plains Software and abandoned all the DB versions (Pervasive SQL, Ctree), but Microsoft SQL Server and respectively concentrated on Windows platform exclusively (Great Plains Dynamics on Macintosh was abandoned earlier by Great Plains Software) Dexterity came through various transformations, such as supporting Microsoft COM objects, Calling Microsoft SQL Server Stored Procedures directly from Sanscript code – these transformations definitely made Dexterity more Microsoft Windows and SQL Server dependent and reduced the chances to migrate to different platform in the future. Dynamics GP Dexterity is virtually unlimited, however Sanscript programming language is relatively proprietary – even if you can install Dexterity and try to find sample codes to give you an idea on primitive programming in Dex – it should take you several years to become proficient in Dexterity, as it is tightly coupled with Dynamics GP tables structure, business logic and architecture in general. Also, there is an opinion among some Dexterity programmers, that you have to have access to Dynamics GP Source Code program (Dynamics.dic with Sanscript source code scripts in – Dynamics.dic, which you can install from GP CD or DVD comes with scripts stripped out)
2. Dynamics GP eConnect. This is SDK or Software Development Kit with Sample Codes in C# and VB. eConnect base is coded in SQL Stored Procedures (that are encrypted, so you cannot alter or use their logic directly). eConnect was initially dedicated to Great Plains eCommerce programmers to open GP objects for ecommerce shopping cart – on archaic versions of econnect. Later on eConnect expanded and currently (Dynamics GP 10.0 and we expect GP 11.0 version to be released in May 2010) it covers most of the GP modules (except such exotic old modules as Invoicing). If you are Microsoft Visual Studio C# or VB.Net programmer, we encourage you to invest time in eConnect objects and libraries research – you should be able to program eConnect with very short learning curve or even immediately. Good examples of eConnect programming projects would be real time ecommerce shopping cart integration (both models Business 2 Business and Business 2 Customer), EDI (Electronic Document Interchange) in both scenarios: your company is master (your vendors must supply their Vendor Invoices via EDI) and your company is slave (you have to issue invoice to your EDI customer electronically)
3. Extender. the idea of Extender is to deploy Microsoft Dexterity, but provide reasonable abstraction level to enable non-programmer to extend GP with new screens. In Extender Enterprise version (supported directly by eOne – Extender original development company in Australia) you can even animate your new screens with Dexterity Sanscript code (no way to debug, however, but this is definitely a large step forward). If you have Extender customization for Microsoft Dynamics GP or Small Business Financials earlier versions: 9.0, 8.0, 7.5, 7.0 – upgrade should be very simple and should not require code review by Extender or Dexterity coders. Reviewing customizations, designed in Extender, we found that by whatever reason you may expect performance degradation, especially when you upgrade to newer version of Dynamics GP, such as GP 10.0. Probably it is related to several layers of abstraction: C++, Dexterity, Extender
4. Beyond Dex, eConnect and Extender. Well, with Great Plains Dynamics, everything was initially centered around GP Dexterity: Modifier with VBA, Report Writer, even Integration Manager, which was deploying Microsoft OLE Server (Great Plains Dynamics user workstation was playing the role of OLE Server). With the introduction of eConnect, Dexterity paradigm was deemphasized and currently most of the new tools and older tools (such as Integration Manager) are getting based on eConnect technology
5. Automatic Batch Posting Add-on. By its architecture, Microsoft Dynamics GP user workstation reserves the right to review and post GP batches: SOP, POP, GL, Receivable Management, Payable Management, Payroll, Inventory Control, Bill of Materials, etc. We have Alba Spectrum Posting Server Add-on, which allows you to extend eConnect, Integration Manager logic to schedule batches for automatic posting (the matter of minutes)
6. Supporting Dynamics GP Modification Projects remotely. Initially we pioneered in this service back in earlier 2000th. Our company has presents in all major US metros and hub offices in Chicago, Houston, San Diego, Los Angeles, Atlanta. We also support you in Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand, South and Central America, Mexico and Caribbean and internationally. Our consultants speak English, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Russian

Top 10 Fun Father’s Day Gift Ideas
Father’s Day is coming around again, this year falling on Sunday the 20st of June. If you are still wondering what to get your dad, now is the time to start looking for that perfect Father’s Day gift, and in order help make this process easier, here’s a top 10 list of where to start looking.
Get a free iPad to gift your father this father’s day. Click Here to know more.
1. By June we will hopefully be enjoying warmer and sunnier weather, which makes it the perfect time to take radio controlled toys out for a spin. Some of the most popular products at the moment are radio control helicopters, rc planes and remote control trucks. The Eflite Blade mCX2 Radio Control Helicopter is a great ultra micro-sized rc helicopter ideal for flyers of all skill levels, and comes ready to fly, with no assembly required – simply put in the battery included and start practicing. Every Blade mCX2 is test flown and trimmed before leaving the factory, so the path to success for first time flyers is assured. The radio control helicopter default settings are set to the level of control, speed and agility suitable for a complete novice, but these can be changed to enable the heli to perform at higher speeds and with more agility as ability levels and confidence grow in the pilot.
2. If you think flying a plane is more to your dad’s liking, the Hobbyzone Champ RTF radio control plane is a great Father’s day gift idea. The micro sized rc plane offers the chance to recreate the early days of aviation. Constructed from injection moulded foam the Champ is very easy to control and is ideal for flying indoors or under calm weather conditions, and the on-board radio system equipped with Spektrum 2.4GHz DSM2 technology means no signal inference wherever you are. The plane’s lightweight and durable construction also means it’s easy to fly in small spaces without the worry of crash damage.
3. The Tamiya 1/14 MAN TGX 26.540 6×4 XLX is one of the most sophisticated radio control trucks on the market. The 1/14 scale aerodynamic rc truck is precisely reproduced, with front grill features mesh material, a cabin that tilts forward separately from fenders and realistic fender interiors and exteriors. Using a Type 450 motor, this Tamiya remote control truck is controlled by a 4-channel transmitter to allow gear shifting and front and rear suspension through metal leaf springs and coil spring dampeners.
4. Meccano Sets make great gift ideas for children of all ages, and will surely make your dad reminisce of his own childhood. The Meccano Special Edition 1930′s Vintage Set is an affordable set that casts a nostalgic eye back at the early days of Meccano. The set includes plans for 4 different models, but with over 100 parts included in this construction set, there are limitless possibilities for what you can build. The Special Edition Meccano Set comes in a vintage style box.
5. Retro Toys have recently become back in style again, thanks in no part to the James May’s Toy Stories TV show. One of the most popular brands of retro toys is Scalextric, the de facto standard in slot racing cars and sets. New to 2010 is the Scalextric Aston Martin DBS Green DPR. A highly detailed Scalextric car, it has a detailed and intricate body shell, working front and rear lights and is digital plug ready, which will allow you to convert it from standard to digital in effortlessly with the C8515 Digital Plug.
6. Another popular brand of retro toys is Hornby Railways. The Hornby Railways Railroad BR Mallard Class A4-DCC Fitted accurately recreates a real life steam locomoive in its BR Green livery with a pristine finish and comes fitted with a DCC decoder. As part of the Hornby Railroad range, it is fitted with an efficient drive mechanism and pickups on all drive wheels to ensure smooth running and without the easily damaged detail parts of some of the higher end models.
7. Diecast models are also great gift ideas for Father’s Day. One of the most popular at the moment is the Corgi Scania R Fridge Trailer Eddie Stobart of the Hauliers of Renown collector’s model range, which can be collected and displayed together.
8. Also hotly tipped is the 1/12th scale Minichamps Joey Dunlop Honda VFR 750 RC45, released on the 14th of June, just in time for Father’s Day. Featuring removable fairing, movable steering damper, working suspension and racing stand, it is sure to be a hit with racing enthusiasts.
9. Airfix and Tamiya are well known for their quality plastic models, with both manufacturers supplying a wide range products that make great Father’s Day gift ideas. The Airfix 1/350 HMS Illustrious Gift Set and Airfix 1/72 Dambusters Gift Set accurately recreates the real life British Royal Navy vessel and Lancaster bombers, respectively and come with all the paint and glue required for assembly. The Tamiya 1/24 Aston Martin DBS is also highly detailed, with an engine hood that can be opened and closed, synthetic rubber tires and decals.
10. Finally, matchstick models from like likes of Matchbuilder, Matchitecture and Matchcraft make for great Father’s Day gifts. The pre-cut card formers, along with glue, matchsticks and full instructions ensure hours of fun assembling and displaying matchstick aircraft, transport vehicles, buildings and much more.
Hopefully this list will have given you some idea of where to start when looking for Father’s Day gift ideas this year, ensuring the day goes off without a hitch.

Microsoft Dynamics GP and RMS Integration Options
If you are working in retail business and plan to deploy Microsoft RMS as your Point of Sale and Store Management system with back office on Microsoft Dynamics GP, this orientation is for you. You may be already ware that there is integration (Great Plains Dexterity add-on), which comes with Great Plains Dynamics GP purchase. This integration does very simple but reliable job, sending Daily Sales into GP General Ledger batch, plus it integrates AP transactions (as you may prefer to do merchandise restocking directly in MS RMS Store Operations or Headquarters modules, but you would probably like to keep AP check cutting from your Corporate ERP application, which is Dynamics GP). If this is exactly what you need, please call to your Microsoft Dynamics GP Reseller or Consultant to discuss this Microsoft RMS to Dynamics GP integration acquisition and implementation. If this simplicity doesn’t do the job for you, here are other options to consider:
1. Sales Order Processing, Purchase Order Processing (Purchase Receipts), Inventory Control (adjustments and transfer) synchronization between MS RMS and Dynamics GP. This is pretty complete possibly integration scenario. You send all your daily POS transactions from all your stores (after they are transferred overnight or hourly into your RMS Headquarters database). Purchase Receipts could be done either in RMS or in Dynamics GP directly (in the case of Great Plains Purchase Receipts you can get advantage of more flexible barcode labels printing options, for example, plus they could be matched against Purchase Orders and even with some negotiation activity in Dynamics GP Business Portal Requisition Management module). The same is possible with Inventory moves (from one RMS store to another or from one Dynamics GP Inventory Site to another)
2. RMS to Great Plains integration settings. Here you really have more than other products could offer. If your business has pretty complicated legal structure, where you one of your companies may own one or more RMS sales outlets, you can map one or more of your RMS stores to be associated with the GP Site (or multiple sites) in the one of the GP companies. You can keep your expansion practice being flexible and purchase companies, without the need to fold them into your family owned company, just transfer them to Dynamics GP and Microsoft RMS platforms
3. Light version – integration of RMS POS transactions as AR Invoices and Returns. In this case you do not bother to track your inventory items quantities, QTY Sold, Returned, Available in the Warehouse. All you want to do is to track POS transactions distribution on precise GL Sales Accounts (in this case you can control your P&L directly in Financial Reporting, such as FRx or Microsoft Management Reporter, available for new version of GP 2010)
4. Integration Performance. Alba Spectrum Integration between Dynamics GP and Microsoft RMS is coded exclusively in SQL Server Stored procedures, meaning that it is designed for ultimate volume of POS and Purchase Receipt/Inventory Adjustment and Transfer transactions, comparing to the competitive products coded in Microsoft Dexterity (Shell, specially programmed in C programming language with its own proprietary coding language Sanscript, where database manipulations are done via Dex cursors) or eConnect (this Dynamics GP SDK follows and replicates Dexterity source code business logic with 100% validation, where some of the performance might be slowed)
5. Versions supported. Integration was introduced for Great Plains Dynamics and eEnteprise 7.5 on Microsoft SQL Server 2000 and Microsoft RMS 1.2. Current version is available (for Dynamics GP 2010 or 10.0 and MS RMS 2.0). As general recommendation, we suggest you to upgrade to current (or minus one) of Microsoft Dynamics GP and MS RMS, as if you do try to implement this tandem on older versions, chances are high that you will be paying extra price for technical support and possible fixes down the road
6. Dynamics GP Warehouse Management System as complete barcoding solution for your stores. As an addition to the integration described above, in the case when you are mod-size retail and distribution chain, we suggest you to consider Dynamics GP WMS extensions. This product works out of Dynamics GP Databases and naturally open such Great Plains business logics as SOP Sales Order, POP Purchase Receipt, Inventory transaction and transfer to barcode scanning
7. Recovering unsuccessful Dynamics GP implementation in retail environment. If you are not happy (or up to the point to say frustrated) with your implementation progress, there might be various factors in place, including your next Corporate ERP selection homework lapses, the lack of industry expertise of your chosen Dynamics GP Partner or Consultant (typically we, consultants in ERP consulting community are trying the best to help you out, but from time to time we over estimate our ability to learn new product as the implementation happens). Whatever was the reason, we are happy to review your case and give you second opinion
8. Give us a call: 1-866-528-0577, help@albaspectrum.com. Local service in Illinois, Michigan, California, Texas. We are positioned to do remote support for Dynamics GP implementations and Warehouse Management System user training.

Millville Army Air Field
I
Driving into Millville Airport, currently a general aviation facility in Southern New Jersey, is like entering a World War II time portal: several cinder block buildings and barracks, characteristic of the war, stand eerily silent and vacated, as if the area had once provided the stage for some vast performance, but its players had long since departed. The runways still routinely field take offs and landings, but mostly of single-engined Cessnas and Pipers. Yet, the location had been an integral part of World War II and therefore remains historically significant.
Sparked, like numerous war-necessitated air fields, by the prospectively destructive capability of the advancing airplane design, as evidenced by German and Japanese combat missions in Europe and Asia, it had been one of 900 defense airports ordered by the US government to be strategically located round the country in order to be immediately convertible from civilian to military application and to train counterforces in the event of war. Unlike the others, however, Millville Army Air Field had been the first one and therefore had been dedicated as “America’s first defense airport” by local, state, and federal officials when it had opened on August 2, 1941 amid a 10,000-strong ceremony.
Still in a spartanly constructive state, it had only featured a few runways from which civilian aircraft operations had been conducted, but the December 7, 1941 Japanese attack of Pearl Harbor in Hawaii had rapidly ignited its transition to military status, the 56th Fighter Squadron of the 33rd Fighter Group temporarily relocating from Philadelphia Municipal Airport for a three-week period to commence Curtiss P-40 Warhawk training, at a still nascent facility only able to accommodate its crews in tents.
One of World War II’s most effective fighter-bombers, the aircraft, based upon the P-36, had been intended as a modernized successor which had initially appeared with a 12-cylinder, V, inline, liquid-cooled Allison V-1720 piston engine, but high-altitude operations had quickly dictated the need for the gear-driven, supercharger-equipped V-1710 version. Although the Army Air Corps had hitherto used its fighters for coastal defense and ground attack missions, it had nevertheless evaluated the aircraft because of its superior performance, the prototype, a converted P-36A airframe redesignated XP-40, first flying on October 14, 1938 with the modified powerplant.
The low-wing monoplane, powered by the single, 1,160-shp Allison V-1710-19 engine and equipped with two 0.50-inch Colt-Browning M2 guns in its wings, had been flown by a single, canopy cockpit-accommodated pilot and could climb at 3,080 feet-per-minute, attaining 342-mph speeds. Featuring a 6,787-pound gross weight, it had a 950-mile range.
The initial contract, for 524 Curitiss P-40 Warhawks, had been made by the US War Department on April 26, 1939, and the Eighth Pursuit Group, based at Langley Field in Virginia, had been the first to transition to the type.
Production, which had subsequently included progressively higher gross weight variants with upgraded engines and increased armament and protection, had ceased in December of 1944, at which time 13,738 P-40s had been made.
The type, however, had only provided interim equipment at Millville Army Air Field, which itself had virtually blossomed from the ground: sporting a “mini-city” of permanent, cinder block structures by September of 1942 and a fleet of convoy trucks from Langley the following January, it had featured full-scale mock-ups of trucks, trains, tanks, ships, and bridges south of it for aerial target practice.
The 58th Fighter Group, the first unit to have been based there, had quickly discovered that the newly-acquired P-40s had been incompatible with northeast winder conditions and the type had been replaced by the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt when the 353rd Fighter Group had relocated to the New Jersey base. The aircraft was soon to become synonymous with Millville.
Succeeding the Seversky P-35, it had been the result of Army Air Corps requirements, which had included a 400-mph airspeed, a 25,000-foot service ceiling, at least six .50-caliber machine guns, armor plating protection, self-sealing fuel tanks, and a minimum fuel capacity of 315 gallons.
Designed round the new 18-cylinder, two-row, 2,000-hp Pratt and Whitney Double Wasp XR-2800-21 radial engine, then the largest, most powerful of its type, it had been intended to offer ultimate, high-altitude performance partly attained by its tail-installed turbo-supercharger, which had considerably increased its power production in rarefied air.
The XP-47B prototype, for which a contract had been awarded on September 6, 1940, had first taken to the skies the following May and orders for 171 P-47Bs and 602 P-47Cs had been subsequently placed, the latter of which had featured external, range-increasing fuel tanks and a longer fuselage to improve maneuverability.
The P-47D, numerically the most popular version, had had a 36-foot, 1.75-inch overall length and a 40-foot, 9.75-inch wingspan which had resulted in a 300-square-foot area. Powered by the 2,000-hp Pratt and Whitney turbo-supercharged R-2800-63 piston engine, whose four-bladed, 12-foot-diameter propeller could only be given sufficient ground clearance with a nine-inch telescoping, retractable main landing gear, the 19,400-pound aircraft, armed with eight .50-caliber, wing-mounted machine guns and 2,500 pounds of bombs, could cruise at 428 mph at 30,000 feet, yet attain 42,000-foot maximum ceilings. Range had peaked at 1,700 miles.
The Republic P-47 Thunderbolt, which had dwarfed all other aircraft, had been the world’s largest, heaviest, single-engine, single-seat strategic World War II fighter, offering unequaled dive speeds.
First entering service with the USAAF in 1942, the type had been deployed in the European theatre the following April, initially performing high-altitude escort and flight sweep missions in skies whose only other counterpart had been the single-pilot, radial-engined Focke-Wulf Fw-190A. The aircraft appeared in the Pacific theatre two months later, in June.
The final version, the P-47N intended for long-range bomber escort sorties, had featured extended wings, an additional 100 gallons of fuel, and a 20,700-pound gross weight (or more than double the weight of the P-40s the type had replaced), and had been deployed in the Pacific late in the war.
The P-47 Thunderbolt which, with 15,579 built, had attained the highest production total of any previous US fighter, had flown more than 546,000 combat missions and destroyed some 11,874 enemy aircraft, 9,000 locomotives, and 6,000 armored vehicles and tanks between March of 1943 and August of 1945. The first piston aircraft to exceed 500 mph in airspeed capability, it could outdive any allied or enemy aircraft and is considered the forerunner of today’s multi-role fighter.
P-47 Thunderbolt pilot training at Millville Army Air Field had entailed two types of units. Operational Training Units (OTU), the first of these, had been created in accordance with Air Corps standards to prepare qualified pilots for newly-formed combat units or fill vacancies in existing ones. In 1939, the number of such authorized Air Corps groups had been expanded from 25 to 84, and the 33rd Pursuit Group, the first in the Millville area, had initiated an uninterrupted flow of combat unit-fed pilots to all four branches of service.
The Replacement Training Unit (RTU), the second of these, provided replacement pilots for those killed, captured, or returned after a 12-week curriculum taught at a Combat Crew Training Station. The 327th Fighter Group, located in Richmond, had been the first to transition to this status in the fall of 1943 when it had been directed to supply personnel to the 87th Fighter Group, whose 536th and 537th Fighter Squadrons had relocated to Millville the following January, bringing their P-47 Thunderbolt fleet with them. By April 10, 1944, all units had been amalgamated into the newly-created 135th AAF Base Unit and the advanced portion of the Replacement Training Unit had been taught at Millville, entailing navigation, formation flying, and aircraft recognition.
With the German and subsequent Japanese surrenders, World War II’s curtains had been effectively closed, obviating the need for Millville Army Air Field and resulting in its temporary closure in October of 1945. It became permanent the following month. Nevertheless, more than 10,000 men and women had served in both ground and flight operations capacities here, of which some 1,500 pilots had received advanced fighter training in Curtiss P-40 Warhawk and Republic P-47 Thunderbolt aircraft. Fourteen had perished during airborne training, along with another five enlisted men.

After the facility had been declared excess in 1946, its ownership had reverted to the City of Millville, and 128 of its buildings, attempting to alleviate the area’s housing shortage, had been concerted into 102 apartments. The 887-acre field, along with some 30 structures and ancillary equipment, had been sublimated to civilian use in June of the following year, at which time its gunnery range had been acquired by the state of New Jersey for hunting and its runways had been periodically used by nearby Naval Air Station Atlantic City Navy pilots for carrier landing practice.
A $2.5-million federal grant, received in 1974, had enabled the airport to draft a master plan, entailing runway repaving, taxiway construction, and field lighting installation, and a subsequent rezoning, occurring a decade later, had enabled it to create a 100-acre Airport Industrial Park.
The current, 923-acre Millville Municipal Airport, New Jersey’s second-largest general aviation field, sports an instrument landing system (ILS) and an FAA Flight Service Station (FSS), the City of Millville leasing its administration to the Delaware River and Bay Authority.
Today, the airport echoes of its World War II role. Of the 100 buildings occupying the site during the four years between 1941 and 1945, 20 remain and constitute the world’s largest collection of original, war-era structures, and the preservation, of the core acreage, two hangars, and 18 buildings, has been ensured by their inclusion on the New Jersey and National Registry of Historic Places.
The Henry H. Wyble Historic Research Library and Education Center, one of them, is located in one of the base’s original warehouses and sports an extensive, war-related book collection, videos, historic documents, and aircraft models, and serves as a large-screen theater. The facility, which opened in 2007, features two eight-by-ten foot, “faux,” partially-opened door murals painted by local artists on its façade.
The Link Trainer Building, hailing from 1942 and requiring two years of restoration, houses one of only five still-operational link trainers. Designed by Edwin Albert Link at his family’s organ-building business in Binghamton, New York, to provide instrument training to World War II pilots during poor visibility and night conditions, the device, borrowing the organ bellows to simulate climbs, descents, and banks, had accounted for 6,271 sales to the Army and 1,045 to the Navy and is presently available for visitor usage for a small fee.
A vintage aircraft collection, privately owned by Thomas Duffy and stored in one of the two historic hangars, includes the P-47 Thunderbolt “No Guts, No Glory,” one of only ten still-airworthy aircraft and the very type for which the air base had been created.
The original Pilot Ready Day Room, constructed in 1943, now houses the Ops-Air Crew Lounge of Big Sky Aviation.
Nucleus of the historic field, however, is the Millville Army Air Field Museum housed in the original Army Air Force World War II Gunnery School Administration Building used between 1943 and 1945 and restored in 1988. The museum, founded by Michael T. Stowe to preserve US military aviation history, mostly displays artifacts, equipment, photographs, and engines contributed by air base veterans.
A Pratt and Whitney Double Wasp twin-row radial engine, which had powered the P-47 based here along with several other Army and Navy designs, emphases the sheer power of this mighty engine and is a highlight of the displays. A ceiling light had measured cloud height, while a directional gyro had served as a pilot navigational training aid.
The metal, interlocking Mardson Mat, designed by the British, had facilitated take off and landing operations at ill-equipped locations. According to George Canning, a current Millville Army Air Field Museum affiliate who had enlisted in the Army Air Corps in December of 1941 and had served in the South Pacific, “it’s the best invention of the whole war. Put it together and you have an instant runway!”
The Philadelphia Seaplane Base Museum, founded in 1915 by the Robert Mills family and relocated to the current site in 2000, displays aeromarine wings, struts, and pontoons.
A Nordon bombsight, the mahogany nose of a Curtiss Flying Boat, an aircraft model collection in memory of Robert Wilinski, photographs, a uniform collection, and a typical Army barracks set up complete the internal displays, while two aircraft are featured outside. The first, an A-4F Skyhawk, had been assigned to Attack Squadron 192 aboard the aircraft carrier USS Orskary in 1968 during its Vietnam War combat tour, while the second is a Short Brothers SD3-30 named “Kwajalein Atoll.”
The paltry collection, according to museum Administrative Assistant Joyce Lazarcheck, is one of the museum’s deficiencies. “I would love to have more planes!” she had wished, and eagerly looked forward to the realization of that goal.
Aside from the exhibits, the museum fields World War II pilot reunions, films, school educational programs, aircraft fly-ins and air shows, and veterans’ events.
Millville Army Air Field, time portal to World War II and once a significant gunnery pilot training facility on the east coast with a fleet of P-47 Thunderbolts, is a living history experience which transcends the past and tells its story to the visitor in the present.

Wheel On Road, Needed but too much slows you down, Tire compound and width along with air pressure are key factors
Foot On Pedal, Doesn’t really affect speed, but is needed unless you use clips or cleats.
Pedal to turn, As little as possible, every loss in the drive train is energy not used to propel you down the road.
Holding up seat, to much can damage the tubes, especially if you have a carbon fiber bike.
Handle Grips, holding on to tight is wasted energy.
Dynamo on tyre, big power waster, if you need elec. power use a battery.
Chain on sprocket, As little as possible, every loss in the drive train is energy not used to propel you down the road.
To keep the power loss’s to a minimum do regular maint. and replace worn out parts.
