Book Synopsis Fast Boats and Fast Times by : David M. Levy
Download or read book Fast Boats and Fast Times written by David M. Levy and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2008 with total page 138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the gruesome battle for Guadalcanal, David Levy was skipper of PT 59, one of several Patrol/Torpedo boats that were among the first U.S. Navy vessels to engage Japanese warships at the beginning of World War II. Dave's wartime experiences in the South Pacific marked one of the most transformative periods in his life. In the Navy he quickly learned to assume a "deal-maker" persona that helped him get along with fellow PT boat skippers, many of whom, like future president John F. Kennedy, came from privileged East Coast families. He got to be known in the Navy by the nickname "Hogan," famous as "the guy to go to," who could get things done, organize parties well-stocked with liquor and women, obtain supplies when none seemed available, and, in those early, desperate days of the battle for Guadalcanal, also perform in the top ranks of competent PT boat skippers. The PT boats were small, maneuverable, and fast, and they were given the seemingly impossible mission of regularly engaging and sinking the much larger and more numerous destroyers, cruisers, and battleships of the Imperial Japanese Navy. Dave's PT 59 was in the thick of all the action. These brave PT boat skippers, many of whom were graduates of Ivy League colleges or the U.S. Naval Academy, were a hard-partying group, and their "fast times" during World War II epitomized the intensity with which life was lived by those who, like Dave, were fully engaged in the deadly struggles of the Pacific War. Dave's wartime experiences shaped the rest of his life, a long journey that has included a successful law career, annual ski trips to his vacation home in Aspen since the early 1950s, and fishing all over the world.

Download or read book Speed Kills written by Arthur Jay Harris and published by Arthur Jay Harris. This book was released on 2013-09-06 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now on Netflix, #5 most watched movie on the site in its first week: Speed Kills, the movie adaptation, screen-credited as based on the book Speed Kills, by Arthur J. Harris John Travolta plays Ben Aronoff, a fictionalized Don Aronow. Everybody liked and loved Don Aronow. He was powerboating's favorite, best-known, and most flamboyant racer and boat builder, the brilliant creator and designer of the famous Cigarette go-fast boats that broke speed records on the water. In everything he did, he consistently pushed the limits, always at full throttle, testing himself. In ocean races, in the worst of conditions, he was at his best. A competitor described him: "We'd be taking a terrible pounding and I'd be almost beaten down to my knees when Don would come alongside and grin from ear to ear, then take off. God, he was so demoralizing." That was what won him two world championships. It also carried over to his reputation of being not only a ladies' man, but whose girlfriends were often married. Don was the living sales pitch for his boats - he sold magic. For the price, you could be more than you could ever imagine yourself as. You could be Don Aronow. Who bought from him? Well-off businessmen in middle age crisis - and the CIA and the Israeli Mossad - kings, presidents-for-life - and George Bush. If you're thinking James Bond, so was he - he named one of his winning boats 007. He was also Miami incarnate - everything great and dark and impenetrable and fascinating about the place. He was Bond - except he played on both sides of the law. You probably never would have known about Cigarettes had dope smugglers not preferred them. Nobody could catch them in them. Then came the Reagan-era Drug War, and Bush got Don a high-publicity federal contract to build patrol boats that were faster than those he'd sold to the smugglers. They were named Blue Thunder. The Miami Herald wrote: The man who designed the roaring Cigarette speedboats, favorite vehicle of oceangoing drug smugglers, has built a better boat, one that will snuff the Cigarettes. Watch out dopers. A crack of Blue Thunder, faster than a shiver, stable as a platform, is about to become the state of the salt-watery art on the side of the law. What did the smugglers think? Because then Don quietly and bizarrely sold his company with the contract to the biggest pot smuggler on the East Coast, Ben Kramer. It was a quintessential Miami moment - maybe the Miami moment of all time. Why did he do that? At the time, the public didn't know what he did. Years later, NBC News broke the story. Said Tom Brokaw: By the time drug agents on the trail put it all together, the Kramers and the government were already partners. That's right, the boats the Customs Service uses to catch drug smugglers were built for Customs by convicted drug dealers who used laundered drug money to buy the boat company. And you thought you'd heard everything. Actually, the feds had found out and made Aronow undo the sale. But a year later a grand jury was poised to indict Kramer, and subpoenaed Don to testify. The day before he would have, he was murdered in broad daylight. Nobody saw the shots - but they heard them, and then the high-pitched whine of his shiny white Mercedes sports coupe, the gas pedal floored by his dead foot - full throttle. And they saw the shooter's black Lincoln Town Car get away. Somebody was afraid of what he was going to say. The cops concluded it was Kramer - and everyone who thought that was right. But actually, Kramer seemed the least affected by what Don probably would have testified to - and his absence didn't stop two grand juries from indicting Kramer, and two trial juries from convicting him. Were the waters deeper than that?
Book Synopsis Hydrodynamics of Speed on the Water by : Hans O S Küffner-McCauley
Download or read book Hydrodynamics of Speed on the Water written by Hans O S Küffner-McCauley and published by . This book was released on 2020-03-03 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: High speed boats necessarily use surface-piercing propellers, but there is very little literature available on surface piercing. My aim is to quantify what I have understood about speed on the water from theory and practice combined. I'm uniquely qualified to write about the combination of fast planing hulls, propellers, and hydrodynamics. I know how a race boat feels under all conditions from 60-85 mph from driving successfully in competition. I have reworked and improved many existing propellers for racing and also for better performance on sport boats. I do my own work on boat bottoms, propellers, and motors. I've set nine outboard speed records, have won four national championships, and I was twice US-1 in my class. On the other side of the coin I'm physics professor with adequate theoretical background in vortex theory and hydrodynamics more generally. The completely new results, not found elsewhere in the literature, are: power-diameter-RPM scaling for propellers and comparison with speed record data, inadequacy of all available measurements of torque coefficients in surface piercing, the difference between efficient surface piercing and supercavitation, complete set of equations (using the mean camber surface to define pitch and camber) for the design of a cleaver from hub to tip, definition of path pitch, use of path pitch to determine the parabolic camber, photos of 3D CAD drawings and 3D printed out models, idealized calculations of torque coefficients and efficiencies, speed-power- weigh scaling law and comparison with existing speed records, clear definition of lift onset, clear definition of planning, lift on monohulls and tunnels, center of pressure and stability of tunnels, estimation of lift coefficient for a v-bottom/tunnel sponson and comparison with data
