Book Synopsis Air Force One Has Vanished by : F. Lee Chambers
Download or read book Air Force One Has Vanished written by F. Lee Chambers and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-10-06 with total page 171 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air Force One Has Vanished is a suspense novel about the newly elected president of the United States and what appeared to be his family boarding the plane on a beautiful night in April and then disappearing in flight. He was bound from Washington to Los Angeles to make a speech. Most people felt that all the indications led to the plane having crashed near Denver, where it was last seen. But did it? No trace was found after much searching. Then the smoking sight of the ruins of a large airplane in the Rockies got everyones attention. A secret from an old man (who later disappears) leads them to a hidden cavern. The cavern was found to be guarded by unidentifiable paramilitary people who didnt recognize the FBI as an authority. Much mystery surrounded the cavern, and the FBI agents Ben Harper and Wilson Trapper intended to find out if it was real or if it was all a plot of terrorists. Meanwhile, war seemed to be coming about in the Middle East between Iran and Israel, which both now appeared to have nuclear weapons, and the world was tense about being drawn into something that may lead to the end of mankind. Most countries were on full alert when the very bold vice president, acting as president, sent nuclear-armed warplanes to the area, hoping to defuse the situation. But he had his own personal problems, and the people wanted the elected president found. A suspicious waitress in Denver had secrets about the vice president and solicited one of his aides in her schemes, which would lead to turmoil. Then an assassination attempt happened when the vice president had his hands full of problems already. It appeared that his suspicious aide committed suicide, but something looked suspicious. Ben Harpers sexy dream about the waitress led him to cold sweats. Was he right about her? He wanted to find a new wife after a life-jolting divorce but not with this woman. He must keep on searching. Ben and Wilson were led through one deception after another and then to an isolated location where they suspected the president could be held, if he was still alive. They were at wits end when they suspected that a coup to take over control from the president may be happening. Then they found out that something important was missing, which made them even more suspicious. They must find out the truth. But their search created even more mystery, and everything led them further astray. The surprise ending brought all the unusual, unanswered happenings to an end.

Book Synopsis Defending Air Bases in an Age of Insurgency by : Shannon Caudill
Download or read book Defending Air Bases in an Age of Insurgency written by Shannon Caudill and published by Military Bookshop. This book was released on 2014-08 with total page 444 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This anthology discusses the converging operational issues of air base defense and counterinsurgency. It explores the diverse challenges associated with defending air assets and joint personnel in a counterinsurgency environment. The authors are primarily Air Force officers from security forces, intelligence, and the office of special investigations, but works are included from a US Air Force pilot and a Canadian air force officer. The authors examine lessons from Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, and other conflicts as they relate to securing air bases and sustaining air operations in a high-threat counterinsurgency environment. The essays review the capabilities, doctrine, tactics, and training needed in base defense operations and recommend ways in which to build a strong, synchronized ground defense partnership with joint and combined forces. The authors offer recommendations on the development of combat leaders with the depth of knowledge, tactical and operational skill sets, and counterinsurgency mind set necessary to be effective in the modern asymmetric battlefield.

Download or read book Air Force One written by Kenneth T. Walsh and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2003-05-14 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the award-winning chief White House correspondent for U.S. News & World Report comes the definitive history of Air Force One. From FDR's prop-driven Pan Am to the glimmering blue and white jumbo 747 on which George W. Bush travels, the president's plane has captured the public's awe and imagination, and is recognized around the world as a symbol of American power. In this unique book, Kenneth Walsh looks at the decisions that our last 12 presidents made on the plane; the personality traits and peccadilloes they revealed when their guard was down; and the way they each established a distinctive mood aboard that was a reflection of their times, as well as their individual personalities. Based on interviews with four living presidents, scores of past and present White House officials, and staff and crew members of Air Force One, Walsh's book reveals countless fascinating stories of life aboard the "flying White House." It also features descriptions of the food, the decor, the bedrooms, the medical clinic, and much more--as well as remarkable photos of the planes (inside and out) and the presidents.
Book Synopsis Bunker Hill and Grissom Air Force Base by : Tom Kelley
Download or read book Bunker Hill and Grissom Air Force Base written by Tom Kelley and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2016-05-09 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the US Navy recovered from the devastating attack on Pearl Harbor, the aircraft carrier earned a place alongside the battleship, and the Navy grew its air force. Pilots were needed as fast as American industry could build airplanes, and Indiana became the home of a naval air-training center. After fascism's defeat with the end of World War II, a potentially more deadly Cold War brought the need for a deterrent force capable of surviving a nuclear attack and then completely destroying the enemy. A vital part of that force moved into the old Hoosier Navy Base in 1954. For more than three decades, Bunker Hill and Grissom airmen stood on the forward wall of America's freedom. Images of Aviation: Bunker Hill and Grissom Air Force Base tells their story through an amazing collection of declassified US Air Force photographs.

Book Synopsis Il-2 Shturmovik Guards Units of World War 2 by : Oleg Rastrenin
Download or read book Il-2 Shturmovik Guards Units of World War 2 written by Oleg Rastrenin and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-08-20 with total page 220 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Over 43,000 Il-2/10s were built between 1941 and 1955, more than any other combat aircraft in history, making this one of the most important Soviet aircraft deployed in World War II. Built originally as a two-seater, the Il-2 had lost the rear gunner's position by the time it started to reach frontline units. Armed with ground-attack rockets, the aircraft proved deadly against Wehrmacht panzers as pairs of Il-2s roamed the frontline at low level. However, the Shturmoviks (armoured attackers) were vulnerable to attack from the rear by enemy fighters, so Ilyushin reverted to the two-seat layout in September 1942. Oleg Rastrenin provides a fascinating account of the complex development history of a plane that was crucial to Russia's defence. From Stalingrad to Kursk to Berlin, this book charts the aeroplane's vital contribution to the most famous battles of the Eastern front.
Book Synopsis Prelude to the Total Force by : Charles Gross
Download or read book Prelude to the Total Force written by Charles Gross and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2012-05-26 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The expanding role of the Guard and its close cooperation with the Air Force are Dr. Gross' themes, explaining the rise of the Guard to the prominence it plays in today's air operations. He pulls no punches in recounting the conflict between Guard and regular Air Force, or in explaining how each side maneuvered to safeguard its interests. However, the author also shows how common concerns and mutual dedication to the national defense overcame parochialism and led from cooperation to integration. The result was displayed for all the Air Force to see in the professionalism of Guard units in the 1960s mobilizations. Guard and regular Air Force had become vital to each other; in return for modern aircraft, a substantial peacetime mission, and upon mobilization integration into the wartime force, the Guard accepted de facto control by the regular Air Force. As Dr. Gross concludes, the concept of "state militia" was altered far beyond the changes wrought earlier in federal-state military relations. The Air Guard was ready for the "Total Force" policy of the 1970s. The dilemma of maintaining a reserve fully capable of fighting the air was solved. By the 1980s, the Air National Guard, at the same inheritors of a military tradition extending back before 1776, and users of the most advanced technologies of war, could prove that citizen-soldiers need not to be second to any airman in the world.

Book Synopsis Pe-2 Guards Units of World War 2 by : Dmitriy Khazanov
Download or read book Pe-2 Guards Units of World War 2 written by Dmitriy Khazanov and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2013-02-20 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Petlyakov's Pe-2 was the most numerous Soviet twin-engined bomber of World War 2, the aircraft being used as a dive-bomber, ground attack platform and dedicated reconnaissance type. The first examples entered service in August 1940, and by the time production came to end in late 1945, no fewer than 10,547 examples had been built. These equipped more than 80 bomber air regiments, and of the latter, two were accorded Guards Air Corps status, as were six air regiments. Amongst the former was the 2nd Guards Bomber Air Corps, which was commanded by the legendary General Polbin, who was twice made a Hero of the Soviet Union. Pe-2 bomber and reconnaissance versions (the latter in service with four Guards reconnaissance air regiments of the Air Force and one regiment of Naval Aviation) were extensively used from the frozen Arctic north to the balmy Crimea front. A number of Pe-2 also saw brief combat against Japan in the final weeks of World War 2.
