Book excerpt: It's been said that the two worst days in a fighter pilot's career are the day he steps to the jet knowing it's his last flight and the day he steps to the jet not knowing it's his last.After years of serving his country in both the military and a covert paramilitary organization known as PROJECT ARCHANGEL, Cal "Spectre" Martin has retired to the quiet life with his wife and son. As Spectre settles in to his new life as a stay-at-home dad and aspiring fiction writer, a face from the past pays him a visit hoping to get Spectre's help one last time.With denuclearization and peace talks underway between the United States and North Korea, a high level general within the North Korean regime has other plans. Intelligence sources have confirmed that the general intends to launch an Electro Magnetic Pulse weapon and detonate it over the United States, setting in motion a third world war.Covert operative Freddie "Kruger" Mack's request is simple - select and train the pilots that will fly the mission deep into North Korea to stand down the looming threat. But as Spectre reluctantly agrees to help and the mission gets underway, he soon realizes that one way or another, he may be stepping to a jet for his last time.With the stakes higher than they've ever been, Spectre and his team must overcome interference from foreign agents while planning and training for a suicide mission into North Korea.

Book excerpt: From the mid-1960s until the end of the Cold War, the United States Air Force acquired and flew Russian-made MiG jets, eventually creating a secret squadron dedicated to exposing American fighter pilots to enemy MiGs. In this program, MiGs were secretly acquired and made air-worthy, before selected ace pilots were trained to fly the assets as they were flown by America's enemies. This book tells the fascinating story of the Red Eagles, using recently declassified information and firsthand accounts from the pilots who took part in the program.

Book excerpt: A true story of mass murder and military aviation disaster—from the man who ended the active-shooter killing spree. On 20 June 1994, a disturbed airman killed his mental-health doctors before opening fire on the patrons and staff of an Air Force hospital. Four days later, a B-52 bomber crashed while performing air-show maneuvers, killing her crew and a pilot who was known for his reckless flying. Two fatal tragedies that occurred suddenly... but not without warning. As a young military policeman, Andy Brown saved countless lives when he confronted a rampaging gunman and put and end to his murderous shooting spree. Brown was hailed as a hero, but was haunted by the lives he was unable to save. While attempting to make sense of the tragedies, the former criminal investigator discovered that numerous people had recognized the signs of impending violence and disaster and attempted to intervene.This compelling narrative gives a voice to the ordinary men and women who witnessed the extraordinary tragedies unfold and reveals the leadership culture that allowed two men to travel unchecked on a path toward destruction. With cinematic clarity and the pacing of a suspense novel, Warnings Unheeded delivers an unprecedented look inside the mind of a would-be killer. It shares tales from aviators who were forced to fly with a dangerous pilot. It tells the story of courageous bystanders who became life-saving first responders, victims who fought for survival, and survivors who fought for answers, accountability and change. Part true crime, criminal biography, historical narrative and military memoir, Brown offers a candid insight into how he prepared for the deadly gunfight only to discover he was ill-prepared for the hidden cost of becoming a "hero". Find out why people are saying Warnings Unheeded is the best nonfiction book they've read in years. Read this page-turning true story of mental illness, mass murder, and military aviation disaster. "A highly readable book ... from a unique source. Recommended for a wide audience." —Ron Franscell, Best Selling True-Crime Author of Delivered From Evil and The Darkest Night "In vivid and thoroughly researched detail, Andy Brown masterfully weaves two tragic stories ... this is an important and well-written read." —Gregory K. Moffatt, Ph.D., Author of Blind-Sided: Homicide Where it is Least Expected and A Violent Heart "Profoundly valuable for anyone who wants to understand violence and mental illness in our society today." —Lt Col Dave Grossman, author of On Combat and On Killing "There are specific lessons in this book that can help us to prevent lethal tragedy." —From the Foreword by Massad Ayoob *** Contains more than 70 non-graphic photographs and images***

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This illustrated, large-format book presents the U.S. Air Force Art Program's depiction of the Air Force across the service's history, starting with the birth of U.S. military aviation under the auspices of the Army. It interweaves the story of the Art Program, including features on artists and their thoughts on significant works, with the history of the birth and growth of the Air Force itself. The volume includes a foreword by Gen. Mark A. Welsh III, the current Air Force Chief of Staff, who calls the book a "celebration" that records "how the connection between Airmen and artists began, how this relationship evolved, and how artists have documented Air Force operations over the decades." This publication would make a great coffee table book. The author, Dr. Timothy R. Keck, spent his career in the Air Force History program and championed the Air Force Art Program while serving as command historian of Pacific Air Forces. He retired as the Air Force senior historian in 2012. This historic art reference work may appeaal to current airmen, veterans, and members of the general public with an interest in the history of air power, particularly as it is portrayed in Air Force. Additionally, art students and libraries with art history and military collections may also be interested in this work.

The CIA is prepared to write off the loss until evidence surfaces that the wreckage of their prized aircraft is hidden in a hangar outside Khartoum's main airport. The hangar is owned by a shady cargo airline that flies ancient DC-3s across Africa and the Middle East. The name of the company does nothing to still concern: FBN— Fly By Night Aviation. The U.S. government must find out what is in the hangar, and when an FBN airplane crashes, the opportunity arises to send an investigator to get to the bottom of things. Jammer Davis is the NTSB's biggest headache, but also its best solo operator. He goes to Sudan in the name of solving an air crash, but with the true aim of locating the priceless remains of America's latest technological marvel. As Davis enters this inhospitable world, he finds the two disparate mysteries strangely intertwined. True to his nature, Davis barges ahead. Yet everything he finds takes him in reverse, disproving what little he has been given as fact. From Khartoum, to the Sudanese desert, to the Red Sea, Davis is unstoppable. He soon discovers that more is at stake, an incredible conspiracy that will tear the region apart. And one that will threaten America like nothing before. Perfect for fans of Daniel Silva, Fredrick Forsyth, and Tom Clancy While all of the novels in the Jammer Davis Series stand on their own and can be read in any order, the publication sequence is: Fly by Wire Fly by Night Passenger 19

Book excerpt: A US Air Force Captain tells the story of his life and service during Operation Desert Storm in this thrilling military memoir. A pilot all his life, Rick “Kluso” Tollini turned his childhood dream into a reality when he became a fighter pilot for the US Air Force. In Call Sign KLUSO, Rick “Kluso” Tollini puts the fraught minutes above the Iraqi desert that made him an ace into the context of a full life; exploring how he came to be flying a F-15C in Desert Storm, and how that day became a pivotal moment in his life. He recounts his training, preparation, and missions, as well as the life of a fighter pilot in a combat zone. He also explores life as an air force veteran, and his turn to Buddhism as he comes to terms with his actions in combat. Rick’s first experience of flying was in a Piper PA-18 over 1960s’ California as a small boy, and his love of flying through his teenage years was fostered by his pilot father, eventually blossoming into a decision to join the Air Force as a pilot in his late twenties. Having trained to fly jets he was assigned to fly the F-15 Eagle with the “Dirty Dozen,” the 12th Tactical Fighter Squadron, at Kadena AB, Japan, before returning Stateside to the 58th Tactical Fighter Squadron “The Gorillas.” Throughout training, Reagan’s fighter pilots expected to face the Soviet Union, but Rick’s first combat deployment was Desert Storm.

Book excerpt: The story of the top-secret “Black Cats” who undertook dangerous long-duration high-altitude missions to provide intelligence on North Korea during the Cold War. Plying through the darkness at the very limit of the earth’s atmosphere, the U-2’s extrasensory intelligence-gathering sensors quietly intercept and redistribute mountains of information to a highly classified ground site, located at Osan Air Base, Korea. From there, the top-secret intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) products are distributed to the highest levels of command authority within the United States. Although the Dragon Lady has been in continuous service for nearly 70 years, she has always been considered a “National Asset,” with technology so sophisticated that she outlasted her “replacement”—the SR-71—decades ago. Lt. Col. (Ret.) Rick Bishop, a former U-2 pilot, takes the reader deep into the Black World of non-satellite ISR to reveal how a small detachment of 100 hand-selected personnel with only eight pilots and two aircraft became the most reliable and productive air force unit to ever utilize the Dragon Lady during the Cold War and to this day. As second-in-command of Detachment 2 (Det 2) of the 9th Strategic Reconnaissance Wing during the mid-1980s, Rick kept a detailed journal of the daily operations that routinely launched pilots on high-altitude solo missions lasting at least nine hours. Wearing full-pressure suits similar to those utilized by the Shuttle astronauts, these missions took a physiological toll on each pilot who upon return had to coax the Lady, universally known for her treacherous landing characteristics, safely back on the ground along with the often-priceless intelligence-gathering sensors. Although the pilots were the pointy end of the spear, this is also the story of the missions that could not be accomplished without the dedicated effort from enlisted personnel and civilian company tech reps to keep the maintenance-intensive platform in the air. Along with Physiological Support Division personnel, responsible for keeping the pilot alive in their pressure suit environment during emergency situations, as well as numerous other support troops required for logistical and supply support, the unparallel success of Det 2 can only be attributed to the professional pride of the close-knit selectively manned brotherhood known as the Black Cats of Osan.

Book excerpt: In 2014, the US marks the 50th anniversary of the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, the basis for the Johnson administration’s escalation of American military involvement in Southeast Asia and war against North Vietnam. Vietnam War Slang outlines the context behind the slang used by members of the United States Armed Forces during the Vietnam War. Troops facing and inflicting death display a high degree of linguistic creativity. Vietnam was the last American war fought by an army with conscripts, and their involuntary participation in the war added a dimension to the language. War has always been an incubator for slang; it is brutal, and brutality demands a vocabulary to describe what we don’t encounter in peacetime civilian life. Furthermore, such language serves to create an intense bond between comrades in the armed forces, helping them to support the heavy burdens of war. The troops in Vietnam faced the usual demands of war, as well as several that were unique to Vietnam – a murky political basis for the war, widespread corruption in the ruling government, untraditional guerilla warfare, an unpredictable civilian population in Vietnam, and a growing lack of popular support for the war back in the US. For all these reasons, the language of those who fought in Vietnam was a vivid reflection of life in wartime. Vietnam War Slang lays out the definitive record of the lexicon of Americans who fought in the Vietnam War. Assuming no prior knowledge, it presents around 2000 headwords, with each entry divided into sections giving parts of speech, definitions, glosses, the countries of origin, dates of earliest known citations, and citations. It will be an essential resource for Vietnam veterans and their families, students and readers of history, and anyone interested in the principles underpinning the development of slang.

Book excerpt: There are many words that could be used to describe Charlie Yates. He was funny, talented, driven, generous, friendly, loving, dependable, trustworthy, courageous, and sometimes annoying and aggravating. When he came into this world, he was but a lump of clay in the Potter's hands. Through the years, God kneaded, rolled, turned, shaped, tested, and fired the vessel that became His faithful servant. The stories about Charlie are legend in his circles of influence. He was an aviator, a veteran, a husband, father, teacher, friend, and a child of God. The young sinner and the older, wiser, forgiven sinner lived, created, told, and retold stories. He verbally recounted his stories with great energy and animation, and he also shared them through movies, pictures, and books. The stories were of his adventures, mishaps, jokes, near-death experiences, joys, sorrows, struggles, and battles. After he died, people who knew him wanted to hear more. In this book are some of the stories that reveal the character and transformation of a gifted, yet ordinary, person whom God used for His purposes and His glory.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scenography and Art History reimagines scenography as a critical concept for art history, and is the first book to demonstrate the importance and usefulness of this concept for art historians and scholars in related fields. It provides a vital evaluation of the contemporary importance of scenography as a critical tool for art historians and scholars from related branches of study addressing phenomena such as witchy designs, Early Modern festival books, live rock performances, digital fashion photography, and outdoor dance interventions. With its nuanced and detailed case studies, this book is an innovative contribution to ongoing debates within art history and visual studies concerning multisensory events. It extends the existing literature by demonstrating the importance of a reimagined scenography concept for comprehending historical and contemporary art histories and visual cultures more broadly. The book contends that scenography is no longer restricted to the traditional space of the theatre, but has become an important concept for approaching art historical and contemporary objects and events. It explores scenography not solely as a critical approach and theoretical concept, but also as an important practice linked with unrecognized labour and broader political, social and gendered issues in a great variety of contexts, such as festive culture, sacred settings, fashion, film, or performing arts. Designed as a key resource for students, teachers and researchers in art history, visual studies, and related subjects, the book, through its cross-disciplinary frame, does consider, implicitly and explicitly, the roles of both scenography and art in society.
