In order that?reenlisted and experienced personnel may be depended

Meetings of officers and reenlisted personnel should be held for the,.
purpose of evaluating training, analyzing disciplinary practices, uncoverA
ing deficiencies, and adopting corrective measures. These meetings
enhance the role of reen].istees and help them acquire command qualities
and skill in educational and disciplinary work.
Political organs and party and Komsomol organizations are called
upon to actively support commanders in training and educating~reenlisted
and experienced personnel. They have a special responsibility for
broadening their political horizons. Sergeants should. be persuaded to
study at evening party schools and evening universities of Marxism-
Lenfnism.so that eventually every reenlistee will have completed an
evening school for adults axtd have passed an examin~.z.tion certifying
? his political maturity. .
In some chasti there is little evidence of concern for the daily
welfare of the reenlistee. This situation is completely inexcusable and
those who are jealous in their treatment of reenlisted personnel should
be firmly dealt with.

the training process in academies. Such general engineering disciplines
as general chemistry, the resistance of materials, and theories of
mechanics:: and machines have been dropped from the training prpgrams.
More time has been devoted to mathematics, physics, and technical snd
specialized disciplines. A courage in the theory of probability has been
.expanded, and a course in physics and the principles of radio engineering
and radar have been revised. A course i.n operation. and tactical training
now includes elements oP operations analyses.
The practical training~oY Future engineers has also been improved by
the introduction of new assembly, experimental, and maintenance practices
and compulsory attendance of a fourth course in scientific work. The
repair of assemblies in which malfunctions have been artificially introduced
has been eliminated.- Rep$ir practice is now based on preventive maintenance
with tuning and adjustments being made as they become necessary.
The majority oP academy students participate in the work of military
science;;study groups. The themesc.~of .their scientific work are coordinated
the
with training plan and reflect comtemporary questions in the fields of
radio engineering and radar, automation, and computer equipment.

The main problem facing academies is the preparation of highly

of science must be included in the training plan as the need arises. At

Summary:
The party organizations of the Soviet :Armed Forces are again holding .
meetings for the purpose of electing officers and reporting on the progress
of party and political work. At these meetings Communists will discuss
means of inerea~ing combat capability and readiness, strengthening military
discipline, and improving the education of military personnel.
At these meetings it is important that the secretaries of party
organizations be completely objective in their reports. Deficiencies i.n
the work of the organization should not be passed over and the reasons for
all shortcomings should be~clearly set forth.
Last year marry oP the reports delivered at election meetings were
heavily laden with statistics showing how marry lectures, reports, meetings,
etc., had been conducted during the year. This should .not be the main
concern of party committees. They should direct: their attention to the

There are still `some party organization leaders who are negligent
in their duties and who fail to show the proper concern for the po-
litical and ideological growth of military personnel. Such leaders
often try to protect themselves by omitting certain Yacts from their
reports and glassing over others.

Characteristics of Fli tin the Second Re a -- by Ehgr-Irt Col
A. A. D'YACI3ENK0 Pages 33-3
In flying, one encounters situations -- although rather seldom,
its true -- in which an airplane that has been flying in fixed
horizontal f]3.ght for a relatively long period of times suddenly,
y
without any apparent cause, looses its capability to maintain that
regime. .Sometimes one receives the impression that the eng3.ne
thrust has dimished while in reality it remains 'the same. How
can this phenomenon be expla3.ned. It turns out that the plane
has gone into a second regime of flight.
The concept of a second regime of fixed horizontal flight was
first introduced by Professor N. Ye Zhukovskiy, who used graphic
and analytical methods to establish criteria for defining this
regime. These criteria are represented by the difference between
the steepness of two curves: the .available .thrust (Pp) and the
head resistance in the regime 6f f3.xed horizontal flight (Qg.p.)
[g.p. = horizontal flight. If the two curves at their point of
intersection in_a graph flow in such a manner that curve Pp passes
through a Mach number at a steeper eagle than curve Qg.p., the plane
is passing into the second regime of horizontal fLi.ght. Cn the other
hand'when curve Qg.p. passes through a Mach number~at a steeper
angle than Pp, a plane flying in a fixed horizontal flight is in the
first.reg3.me. This definition of the second regime of horizontal
flight holds true at all altitudes and Mach numbers at which modern
aircraft are flown.

What-are the special characteristics of a plane's flight in the
second regime in comparison to flight in the f3xst regime of horizontal
flight? 7n order to answer this question it is first necessary to
examine the stability and controlability of an airplane in the first
and second regimes,:
Research in longitudinal stability has shown that the flight of
a modern aixplane in the second regime of horizontal flight is~ as
a rule, stable and that this stability is in part related to the
speed of the airplane. This may be shown with the help of a graph
(figure 1) on which are drawn N. Ye. Zhukovskiy's curves (Fp and Qg.p.)
and a curve of 'au airplane's head resistance at a given altitude (BA)s
plotted on a constant angle of attack (d). From the figure it may
be seen that flight~in the second regime begins at angle of attack
d2 and the Mach number of the flight equals M2 (point B). The air-
. planes' controls are 3.n a fixed position. It is supposed that this
p rovides a balance of longitudinal moments acting on the plane.
Let us examine a situation in which an involuntary change in
a plane's flight speed (without a change in the pa~ition of the
'controls) is~not accompanied by a change 3.n the longitudinal .
moments acting on the airplane. The latter means that. in this
situation an increase in the Mach number to M would not change
the airplane's angle of attack d2. From the graph~it may be seen
that an involuntary increase ,in the Mach number creates an increase
in thrust and head resistance. The increase in head resistance
does not occur according to curve BD of the head

Comparing the two graphs (figures 1 and 2} it may be said tlr8,t a 50X1-HUM
plane's flight in the second regime differs from its flight in the first
regime in that it has a smaller margin of stability, which is graphically
represented by the size of ABC. Theory and practice show that the greater
the,size of angle 6,BC, the faster a plane regains tae spe~d,~.and altitude ..
of its flight following the effects of external aisturbances.
It should be pointed out that the law of change according to I~1ach
number of available thrust Pnx fl(P~4) at a given altitude is not .the. only
factor which influences the size of the margin of stability of a plane in
the regime of horizontal flight. Theory and practice show that if the
disturbance in the speed of the plane results in an additional (unbalancing)
diving moment, the margin of stability is.:decreased.Graphically this.
phenomenon maybe depicted as a downward sweep (like the hand of a clock)
in the: curve of head resistance plotted on a constant angle of attack,
~d const. (i.e. a downward sweep at a certain angle of curve BA without a
change in the position of the curve of available thrust Pp}. If, on the
other hand, an involuntary increase in the I~iach number results in the
appearance of a pitching moment, 'the margin of stability increases. This
means that curve $x (fianures.l and 2) swings upward at a certain angle in.
relation to .point B, i.e. the opposite of a clock hand.
Remember that the appearance.of additional diving moments in modern
airplanes resulting from an increase in ,the T,~ach number of the flight. occurs
chiefly, in the range Ifach number O.q ;-1.2. Therer"ore, conducting flights
in the second regime at tY~ese Mach numbers is undesirable.
Now let us exam.-i.ne longitudinal controlability in the second regime.

temporarily before the pilot pulls tkie control stick toward himself (i. e.
when the elevator is inclined upward at a certain constant angle, equal to
2). Lowering the trailing edge of the elevator is considered positive, and
raising it, negative. At first the fli.ght::altitude increases, but after
a certain length of time it begins to decrease; the plane slo~~rly but steadil~t

Figure 3 shows the change in speed and altitude of an airplane's flight
in the first and second regimes following adjustment of the elevator,-but

during a flight on t~.e border between them, i. e. when such a flight is

tude but later it begins to descend toward the altitude at which the pilot
first adjusted the elevator. .
The change in the speed of flight during this process will be qualita-
tively the sane as for flights in the first and second regimes. From a
quantitative standpoint the curve of the change in speed, if it were drawn
on the graph, would pass between curves 1 and 2.
This change in speed with the adjustment of the elevator means that
the transition from flight in the first regime to flight in the secoxid
regime is accompanied by an increase in the direct controlability of the
airplane, i. e. the speed of flight in the second regime is more responsive.
to the adjustment of the elevator than in the first regime.

the longitudinal control of an airplane in the second regime is characteristic
both .of supersonic flights and flights approaching the speed of sound.
These facts also indicate that if it is necessary for a pilot to make
the transition from flight in the first regime to flight in the second regime,.
this transition can best be made by increasing tha angine~thrust. Of course,
the latter is possible only in those cases where a flight in the second.
regime takes place below the absolute ceiling. Tf the flight is in imciediate
proximity to the absolute ceiling, a transition to the first regime would
require the regulation of .the elevator to increase the speed of descent.
Alliof,these characteristics of an airplane's behavior in the second
.regime appear only near the speed of a horizontal flight at which curves Pp
and Qg~p, intersect or touch. They do not have a direct influence on 't he
piloting of an aircraft in the unsteady regimes of acceleration and deceleration
because of the presence of considerable surpluses of thrust. The aircraft
handles normally. Iluring the ascent of an airplane from ari altitizde~of 11000
meters, inclining the elevator upward at a curtain constant degree (control.
stick in rear position) results i.n a decrease in flight spend and a considerable
decrease in the. rate of ascent. Remember;that`in the,;first regime a similar
adju;stment.of the elevator resulted in a decrease in flya;ng speed and an :i.
increase in the rate of ascent, The same is true in the descent of an air-
,..plane with engines operating at a constant speed.' In this case an upward
..inclination of the elevator results in a decrease in flying speed and an
increase in. the rate of descent. In the first regime the rate of descent
decreases.

Editorial (Pages 37-41)

Reviews letters rec?ived by the editorial office in
response to an article by Engr-Lt Col ZIL'BERNi6~N entitled Im~orove t~iethods
of Technical ~rainir~~ of Future Officers, which appeared in the third
issue (1962) of the journal. In this article ZIL'BEFtriI~N expressed, the
opinion that officor candidates should not take notes while studying radar
sets but sin-~ply listen attentively to the instructor's lectures and observe
carefullg~ his demonstrations. He recorrmiended that candidates prepare for.
lessons and tests by studying summaries prepared by the instructor and
given to the candidates in advance. He also suggested that future officers
should study methods of~locating and repairing defects in radar sets rather
than simply studying how to repair "typical" defects.
Letters by N~ajor KHOD, Engr-Lt._CoI',:~ORTNOY, Engr-Capt I:~Hf~.~TOV, and
Engr-Capt PY'I'OV expressed disagreement with ZIL'EERI~?~,N's claim that note-
taking prevented candidates from interpreting a lecture, They claimed-.that
this was Prue only if, rather than selecting the main points of the lecture,
the candidate attempted to take down every :cord. They also considered
impractical his proposal that instructors should prepare notes
or summaries for t'reir courses, insisting that this would take too much
time and that the notes would frequently have to be. changed to keep abreast
of technological advances.
Engr-Col C=IT1T:~BUR.G and Engr-Iflaj I~EZI~?IKOV~KIY,proposed that training in
the repair of radio technical equ.ipraent be divided into three periods: the
first, for learning certain industrial skills needed in repair work; the
second, for studying the principles of repairing radio technical equiprrier~t;
and the third, for completing a series of practical exercises in re;oairirrg
various types of equipment.

Or~anie Semiconductors and Thou Pros~peetive Use -- by V. S. MA.RKIl~T,

Pages 72-75
Text:
Military technology makes havey demands on radio electronic
devices. Radio technical systems must be reliable, durable, ef-
ficient, economic, ,compact and lightweight. It is difficult to meet
these requirements with ordinary electron tubes. Only through the
use of semiconductors was it possible to make a big step forward .
in this d3xection.
Although there are a]seady in existence highly efficient semi-
conductor devices, science and technology are not satisfied with
what has been accomplished. Research and development continues.
Work is being done in two general areas: construction of new devices
on the basis of known, existing materials and the search for new
semiconductor substances suitable for technical use.
Both of these-are areas of great importance. However, let us
consider the latter. Despite the abundance and uariety of semi-
conductor devices, very few substances are used in their construction.
Of these the best kno~m are silicon and germanium.. However, rapidly
expanding technology creates new demands which materials presently
being used cannot always satisfy. Consequently, it is necessary
to search for new materials.
At present inorganic substances are used in semi-conductor
devices. These substances - water, earth, air, stone, and many
others - make up the ~n~-ni~te world around us. The majority of
inorganic substances

are relatively simple in composition.? But there are other substances
'in nature, main7.y in the form of various carbon compounds, which are
called organic. These substances are found in the composition of,
plants, animals and, finally, man himself.
Inorganic substances in nature number almost 50 thousand, but
there are already known to be over a million organic substances. Al-
though both c3.asses consist of the. same elements, there is a great .
. difference in their quantity. This is explained, first of all, by
~~.the fact that molecules of organic substances consist of very large
numbers of atoms and, secondly, by the fact that much depends on
which atoms make up the molecule and how these atoms are arranged in
Just as many completely different buildings are built with the
.same bricks -homes and factory buildings, clubs and garages - a large
number of different substances are comprised of a comparatively small
.variety.'of atoms.
Moreover, they mad be synthesized to create substances which do
not exist in nature. The possibilities of organic chemistry in this
respect are virtually unlimited: Especially important'is the fact.
? that .substances of this class have been found to .possess the proper- ,
ties of semiconductors:
In fact, a simple appraisal of the vast quantity of substances
which specialists have at their disposal shows the many' possibilities
open to them. At present, an engineer engaged in the construction
of semiconductor devices has a very limited selection of.msterials

from which to choose. Furthermore, the substances do not always have .
the desired characteristics. What is there to doh One is obliged to
use that which exists, sometimes having to choose .the least of several.
,evils.
The selection is being widened by the d:;.scovery of.new.materials
and when the synthesis of these substances with predetermined proper-
ties is possible, it will become almost unlimited. A scientist con-.
structing new devices will no longer have to consider whether materials
with the necessary properties are available; he will not be kept .from,
;bold and original decisions simply because needed materials do not
exist in nature. From the very beginning the constructor will deter-
mine the best characteristics fnr the material and then select or
synthesize the needed materials. Obviously, many outstanding devices
may be developed under such conditions.
Where will organic semiconductors be used It appears that they
could be used in a1.most any area where inorganic semiconductors are
'now being used. And, because of the wide diversity of their properties,,
they will in many cases surpass their "inorganic brothers."
One of the most important electrical characteristics of a sub-
stance is its conductivity. The degree of .conductivity, depends on
2 factors: first, the concentration of free carriers, i.e. The number
of free electrons in a unit of the substances and, second, the ease
~. .
with which they move, i.e. ,their drift mobility.. Organic substances .
possess diverse combinations of these factors and, hence, various de-
grees of conductivityo They cpver a wide area, ranging from the best

metals with a conductivity of 10~' ohm"1 em`l.
' Organic semiconductors may have very great or very small dielec-
tric constants. They may be diamagnetic, nonmagnetic, or paramagnetic
semifluid or solid, amorphous or single crystal, very soi:t or ex-
tremely hard.
Through their use it will probably be possible to develop solid
?or
batteries and solid electrolytes, elements % ~ferroelectric devices and
memory systems for computer machines. They may also be used for the
storage of energy, in the manufacture of cold cathodes, in electronic
printing, and in many other areas. I will cite some examples.
Some compounds which under ordinary conditions are transparent be-
c ome opaque under ultravsdlet grays. This property could be used in the
manufacture of electronic shutters having no moving parts. This might
be accomplished in the following manner. A small plate will be placed
in front of, or perhaps inside of, the camera. If the plate is con-
tinuously exposed to ultraviolet rays, it willbe_ opaque; hence light
will not enter the .camera. The shutter is closed. Cut off these rays
for an instant and the plate becomes transparent. The shutter is open.
Light enters the camera and comes in contact with the film. The
photograph is made. ~.
There are also possible variations of this system. If, for ex-
ample, one of the"ob~ective lenses were made of this substance, the
ob3ective could serve also as a shutter. An important problem is the
.conversion of light and heat energy into electricity. This work is

batteries are a]seady being used in earth satellites to convert sun-
light into energy for all the ships electrical apparatus. These are
usually made of silicon; however, this is very complicated aril expen-~
? sine. Organic semiconductors may make further progress in this area
possible. In any case, the first experiment~ain this direction have.
been successful.
Thermogenerators are also now in existence. Their principle of
operation is as follows: 3.f a closed electrical circuit is constructed
from 2 different materials, for example, 2 different metals (or better,
semiconductors), and if one of the junctions between these materials'
is heated and the other is cooled, an electric current is produced in
the cell. An apparatus of this type is called a thermocouple. A
combination of these thermocouples constitutes a thermopile, capable
of producing a current of considerable strength., Some of the first
.thermopiles were used by Soviet partisans during the great patriotic
war to supply power for radio stations, Their thermopiles were
assembled in the bottom of an ordinary mess 't in, The lower junctions

must possess the following properties: high electric conductivity50X1-H U M
in order to reduce the loss of-the electrical energy within the thermo-
pile itse~.f; high thermoelectric coefficients, positive and negative,
in order to effectively convert heat into electricity; minimum thermo-
conductivity, so that heat does not pass through the material of the
thermocouple from the hot function to the cold. In other worsis., a
rather complex combination of properties is required. Inorganic semi-
conductors currently being used do not fully satisfy these requirements.
The potentialities of organic semiconductors in this area appeared~to
be much greater. Some of them have high electri~ conductivity high
thermoelectric coefficients and low thermal conductivity. Tt is
entirely probable that materials will be found which-have all of these
properties in common, i.e~ in.'the~.right.combinatiozis.
Thermopiles can also perform the reverse function of converting
electricity into heat and cold. If an electric current is passed
through a thermopile, some of its junctions are heated and others are
cooled. A thermopile does not convert electricity into heat in the
same matter that a hot plate does. In thermopiles electricity is only
partially transformed into heat. The principle work consists of trans-
ferring heat from a cold junction to a hot one. Of course, the ex-
penditure of energy in this is not great. If the direction of the
current is changed, the hot 3unction begins to cool and the cold begins
to heat. It is on this principle that semiconductor refrigerators
are designed. The use of organic semiconductors in this area is ex-
petted to meet with considerable success,

If one uses his imagination, it is possible to conceive of
materials for solar batteries and thermopiles enhanced by still
another property -elasticity., From such materials it would,be
possible to make a number of useful fabrics, From these .fabrics,
capable of converting light into electricity, it would be possible
to sew, for example, a tent. By pitching such a tent in an open ,
area, it would be possible to obtain from it electricty fox. radio
receivers, transmitters, and other. needs.-.This would eliminate the
necessity of taking along dry batteries. and other equiprc~nt.
? One can also conceive of a'refrigerator" fabric capable of con-
verting electricity .into heat and cold and vice. versa. For example,
why not use it in making protective coveralls? They might not be
very attractive or elegant, but they wouldn~t be bad. With a sma11-
flashlight battery in one of the pockets, it would be possible, simply
be throwing a switch, to warm oneself at the expense of the surrounding
cold. If the temperature were very high, one would need only to flip
the switch and the:coveralls would soon become cool as a refrigerator.
There are many. representatives of various professions who would like
to have such coveralls.
It may be said that this is simply a fantasy. Yes, at present.
it is a fantasy. But it is by no means impossible. We are already
accustou~ed to a high tempo.of scientific progress in which the most
fantastic ideas sometimes become;:yesterdays science.

properties under certain conditions. It is possible that
some materials may have select electro-, phono-, actino-, magneto-,
thereto-luminescent properties.
In the past most discussion concerned the physical application
of organic semiconductors. But they also have applications in
chemist
ry. Take, for example, the distillation of sea water. This
labor-consuming but important process might conceivably be made
easier by using a semiconductor ion=exchanging resins. Placed in sea
water, they would draw out of it the dissolved salt. In the same
manner, they might be used to purify various chemical liquids.
organic semiconductors may also play an important role in
catalys~.s. They will make it possible to conduct complex chemical
reactions at ordinary temperatures and pressures. E lectrodes which
remain inert and stable at high temperatures are needed to bring about
certain electrPchemical reactions. The possibility of using certain
carbon polymers for this purpose has already been demonstrated under
laboratory conditions.
The problem of making various devices on the basis of organim
semicond~uctorsmaterials is, of course, important. However, the most
important result of studying these substances is, without doubt, a
better understanding of the biological processes which take place
within a living organism. The fact is ghat, in the opinion of scientists,
organic semiconductors play an all-important role in such life
processes as vision, photosynthesis, the transfer of energy within
an organ, and even in the spread of cancer, Knowledge of these

phenomena would in itself be the greatest victory of the human mind.
It would then be possible to attempt to reproduce them artificially
under laboratory conditions. Success in these attempts would pro-
mise many benefits. '
...Consider,_ for example, the muscle of an animal. It is a
highly developed mechanism, transfering the chemical energy of food
directly into mechanical energy. `It is an exceptionally compact,
sensitive, efficient, dependable mechanism. Here one can learn much
from nature. Is it 'not tempting to try to create an artificial model
of a muscle2
And photosynthesis? This process makes it possible for animals
and man to exist on earth. From water, carbon dioxide gas, and
mineral salts, green_~.plants, under the infludnce of sunlight, produce
supplies of food for all living creatures.-This process produces
oxygen, necessary for respiration.' If i~ were not for photosynthesis,
there would be no animals or humans, at least,, not such as exist to-
day.
Man has accomplished~.much. His victories over nature have been
great, But in the .matter of creatingafood supplies he is still
largely dependent on the caprices of wi5ather, crops, etc. And nature
does not always indulge man. This is why generations of scientists .
have been dreaming of artificially reproducing photosynthesis, thereby
breaking man's dependence on nature,. This is an extremely important
but complicated problem. It has not been solved, but scientists con-
tinue to work on it. It may be that the study of organic semiconductors

'We have mentioned only a few of the potentialities of organic
semiconductors. They are indeed vast. However, it should not be

and allies, designed to help each ot}~er. Well designed inorganic^
semiconductors will also dependably serve mankind, Of course a Large
part of that which has been discussed here belongs to the future,
perhaps even the distant future. The science of organic semiconductors
in still in its early stages, but it is developing before our very
eyes.
In conjunction with a whole series of disciplines - physics,
chemistry, biology - this science is rapidly moving forward. There is
still 'much which is difficult, complex, and vague. Nevertheless,
scientists of all countries are assiduously working in this area of
knowledge.. Semiconductors are a very promising branch of science. .
Their significance~ahd technology is growing-with each passing day.
It is no coincidence that in the Program of the Communist Party it
is stated that in the future "radioelectronics, semiconductors, and
ultrasonics will occupy~an even more important place in industrial
r;
technology."
