An assault rifle is a type of automatic rifle. They have been defined various ways. One is that an assault rifle is a selective-fire rifle chambered for a cartridge of intermediate power. If applied to any semi-automatic firearm regardless of its cosmetic similarity to a true assault rifle, the term is incorrect. They are generally understood to be selective fire rifles or carbines (depending on the particular firearm's size), using intermediate-powered ammunition. They can be considered a compromise between the larger and heavier Light machine gun and the weaker submachine gun. Assault rifl ...

Aviators are people who fly aircraft either for pleasure or for a job. The term is normally applied to pilots but it can be applied more broadly, for example to include people such as wing-walkers who regularly take part in an aerobatic display sequence.

As Steve Fossett has shown with his 2002 solo flight around the glob ...

Aviation in World War I - The Dawn of Air Combat. Early in the war, canvas-and-wood aircraft were used primarily as mobile observation vehicles. This was a big improvement over the slow, vulnerable Zeppelin and the immobile observation balloon. These observation aircraft provided detailed positions of the enemy in the ground war below, but there was still no thought of a separate air war. Because of this, enemy pilots at first simply exchanged waves. This later progressed to throwing bricks, grenades and sometime ...
