Download or read book Into the Abyss written by Carol Shaben and published by Grand Central Publishing. This book was released on 2013-05-21 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Only four men survived the plane crash. The pilot. A politician. A cop... and the criminal he was shackled to. On an icy night in October 1984, a commuter plane carrying nine passengers crashed in the remote wilderness of northern Alberta, killing six people. Four survived: the rookie pilot, a prominent politician, a cop, and the criminal he was escorting to face charges. Despite the poor weather, Erik Vogel, the 24-year-old pilot, was under intense pressure to fly. Larry Shaben, the author's father and Canada's first Muslim Cabinet Minister, was commuting home after a busy week at the Alberta Legislature. Constable Scott Deschamps was escorting Paul Archambault, a drifter wanted on an outstanding warrant. Against regulations, Archambault's handcuffs were removed-a decision that would profoundly impact the men's survival. As the men fight through the night to stay alive, the dividing lines of power, wealth, and status are erased, and each man is forced to confront the precious and limited nature of his existence.
Book Synopsis Flight Of The Mew Gull by : Alex Henshaw
Download or read book Flight Of The Mew Gull written by Alex Henshaw and published by Crowood. This book was released on 2012-05-01 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Alex Henshaw had the luck to grow up in the '20s and '30s during the golden age of flying. The Blue Riband of flying in the British Isles between the two World Wars was the King's Cup: Henshaw set his heart on it, developing a technique of racing which extracted the very maximum from his aircraft: first the Comper Swift and then the DH Leopard Moth. Parallel with his search for speed was an obsession with making accurate landfalls, and he developed this blind-flying taken deliberately in a flying partnership with his father on many carefully planned long-distance survey flights. His exciting apprenticeship in these two skills was crowned by the acquisition of the Percival Mew Gull G-AEXF in 1937. His amazing solo flight to Cape Town and back in February 1939 established several solo records that still stand today, almost 60 years later. This feat of navigation and airmanship must surely be one of man's greatest flights - 12,754 miles over desert, sea and jungle in a single-engined light aircraft.
Book Synopsis The Flight Log by : Christoph Huebener
Download or read book The Flight Log written by Christoph Huebener and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2020-02-12 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Flying has always been an almost magical fascination. Even in times of global mass travel with huge airliners, you can hardly escape this spell. By how much more pronounced must this attraction be as a pilot of one's own plane? In his Flight Log, the 1960-born author with over three decades of flight experience up to now, tells exciting short stories about the feeling of freedom, independence and adventure. He tells how for the first time he held the controls by himself, how as an experienced pilot fixed rituals developed with his comrades and how floating above things literally gave him the necessary composure to make important life decisions. But it is not just an autobiographical narrative. Rather, this book uses individual episodes from the life of a passionate pilot to ask questions about life, uncover interpersonal behaviour and build bridges between people. In this way the reader can also find himself in this book. This makes the Flight Book unique and offers an entertaining and reflective read.

Book Synopsis World War II and Nevada by : Charles Weller
Download or read book World War II and Nevada written by Charles Weller and published by University of Nevada Press. This book was released on 2024-05-28 with total page 447 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: World War II and Nevada is an in-depth examination of the state’s role in the war. Nevada’s geographic location, land, sky, mineral resources, and the sacrifices of its people were crucial to victory—and transformed the state. The war brought the first significant development of the gaming industry; the introduction of a huge, permanent military presence; the diversification of its population; and a shift in political and economic power within the region. Nevada’s previously unexamined role in the internment of Japanese Americans is explored, and so too is the role of women and minority groups in support of the war. The book concludes with a comprehensive list of those killed, wounded, or made prisoners of war during the conflict. Weller provides the most thorough analysis of Nevada’s war effort to date and historians will find the book a valuable addition to their World War II history collections.
Book Synopsis Free on the Inside by : Martin Tuson
Download or read book Free on the Inside written by Martin Tuson and published by Ambassador International. This book was released on 2014-03-18 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Freedom is a concept with many aspects. There is the freedom to think, speak and act, within reasonable laws, without fear of unjust punishment. If you break the law sufficiently, prison deprives you of physical freedom. Freedom of the human spirit is very different, and is relatively independent of time and place. It has to do with our internal world – whether we experience life in exuberant freedom or in a miserable personal prison. It depends on how we relate to God’s original intention for humanity. You may be physically free, but not free on the inside. On the other hand you may be in a prison cell, yet have become free on the inside. This book aims to show that you can be free on the inside, in every sense. It all depends on whether you accept or reject the grace of God. While some people start with all the advantages in life and miss the goal, others, as described here, the hopeless cases, experience true freedom and happiness. It happens in the most unexpected places and unpromising circumstances, but it can happen to anyone – you – when you let God lead the way.

Book Synopsis From Fury to Phantom by : Richard Haine
Download or read book From Fury to Phantom written by Richard Haine and published by Casemate Publishers. This book was released on 2005-04-19 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Richard 'Dickie' Haine first went solo in a de Havilland Gipsy Moth during August 1935, after only one week of tuition. He joined the RAF shortly afterwards as a Direct Entry Sergeant Pilot and left the service in 1970 as a Group Captain, OBE, DFC. During his long career he flew an extraordinary variety of aircraft types, starting with small biplanes that were designed upon the philosophy gained during World War I and finishing with Britain's V Bomber force and American-designed fighters at the very edge of space.His first posting was with No 25 Squadron flying Hawker Demons and Gloster Gladiators during 1936 until the unit was re-equipped with Bristol Blenheims and undertook a night-fighter role. These were difficult days during which the primitive radar system made it all but impossible to locate incoming enemy aircraft, but the squadron were also sent on several offensive missions over the recently invaded European countries. Haine was lucky to escape when his aircraft was brought down and crash-landed on a small Dutch island after an abortive raid on German occupied Walhaven airfield. After a hazardous journey on foot through the increasingly threatened lowlands he escaped on a RN Frigate. During the Battle of Britain he continued in the night-fighting role flying from Manston in Kent.Now a Commissioned officer, he was given command of No 96 Squadron, flying Boulton Paul Defiants in the night defense of the industrial heartland of England. The, after a spell as a Staff Officer at Bentley Priory, he took command of No 448 (New Zealand Squadron) who were equipped with the superlative de Havilland Mosquito. During this period the squadron had an enviable score sheet in downing enemy aircraft during many night operations. In 1945 the author was dispatched by ship to take charge of a newly formed wing to aid those forces still at war with Japan. However, whilst still at sea, the war ended and Haine found himself in Hong Kong with the task of getting Kai Tak airport operational immediately after its liberation.His post-war flying was heavily involved in the development of jet-powered fighters and sophisticated new weaponry. He spent a long period as Wing Commander in Habbinya and Akrotiri and ended his career training the navigators of the V-Bomber nuclear Force."

Book Synopsis Rhapsody in Junk: a Daughter's Return to Germany to Finish Her Father's Story by : Marilyn Jeffers Walton
Download or read book Rhapsody in Junk: a Daughter's Return to Germany to Finish Her Father's Story written by Marilyn Jeffers Walton and published by Author House. This book was released on 2007-05-04 with total page 510 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is the culmination of three years of research in four countries. By meticulously combing the archive records in England, Germany, Poland and the United States, Marilyn Jeffers Walton has reconstructed the final mission of her father and his crew and located the German cemetery where one crewmate, killed the day the plane was shot down, was buried. She searched for and found the remaining men of the crew of "Rhapsody in Junk" and reunited them after sixty years. Interviews with the crew and fellow prisoners of war contributed puzzle pieces, put together bit by bit, that enabled her to find where they were captured and interrogated. By searching old records, letters, diaries and mission records, she was finally able to return to Germany and find the crash site of her father's B-24 where pieces of the plane still remained. To her astonishment, she met the woman who watched her father bail out and saw the very field where he landed. During her return to Germany, she connected emotionally with the people of the peaceful farm community of Wagersrott where her father was taken prisoner over six decades before. In her quest to reconstruct the mission and her father's prisoner of war experiences, Walton presents not only his story but the stories of the British and German people who both suffered greatly, all caught up in the dictates of a mad man. Revealed within the pages is a first-hand account of the bombing of Dresden from a German couple who survived it. Walton's odyssey through Europe allowed her to discover the rich fabric of the people who endured and survived the war and to weave their stories into a multi-faceted mosaic that reflects the personal experiences of World War II.
Download or read book Flight written by Ginger Strand and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2008-06-17 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In her haunting debut novel, Flight, Ginger Strand creates an unforgettable portrait of a midwestern family navigating an indelibly changed world. Will Gruen loves to fly. As a Michigan farm boy, he longed to clear a furrow through sky, not land. Since then, he has pursued speed and forward motion, from his Air Force service in Vietnam to his thirty years as a commercial pilot for TWA. His passion for flight is matched only by his love for the family farm he considers his personal refuge. But in the aftermath of September 11, Will's world implodes. As he nears mandatory retirement, his beloved airline has collapsed. His wife is turning his farm into a bed-and-breakfast. His older daughter has chosen an open marriage, and her sister has fled seven hundred miles away to New York. Now, with the wedding of their younger daughter approaching, the Gruen family is coming home. Over three emotional days, the past collides with the present, secrets are revealed, new ties are made and old ones broken as each of the Gruens stands at the brink of taking a step that could not only change the path of one life but could alter the family's course. Deftly entwining the voices of Will and his colorful family, Strand creates a dazzling, multilayered chronicle of ordinary Americans in an era of sweeping hange -- and of people with only love to keep them aloft in an uncertain world.
