Download or read book Gunslingers written by James P. Busha and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2022-05-01 with total page 329 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By the time the war clouds of Europe and Asia spilled onto the shores of the United States, the allied military found itself outmanned, outgunned and out flown. The United States, still reeling from the Great Depression, was in a technological disadvantage in all branches of the military. This included, of course, a viable air force. There have been volumes of books written about the development of US airpower and the technological specifications of each American or Allied aircraft. This is not one of them. This book focuses on the young men who answered the call to duty and were literally transformed from “farm boys to fighter pilots.” It offers a rare glimpse of what it was like to fly a variety of frontline fighters in World War II. From Army Air Force P-39 Aircobras, P-40 Warhawk’s, P-38 Lightning’s, P-47 Thunderbolts and P-51 Mustang’s to US Navy F4F Wildcats, F4U Corsairs and F6F Hellcats. Each story is told in descriptive detail, with the inclusion of actual combat reports contained in many of the stories. Many of the pilots depicted also achieved the status of ace with five or more aerial victories.

Book Synopsis Western Gunslingers in Fact and on Film by : Buck Rainey
Download or read book Western Gunslingers in Fact and on Film written by Buck Rainey and published by McFarland. This book was released on 1998-01-15 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Billy the Kid, Wild Bill Hickok, Belle Starr, Wyatt Earp, the Younger Gang, the Dalton-Doolin Gang and Bat Masterson--these real-life lawmen and lawbreakers have been the basis of so many Hollywood Westerns that it has become difficult to discover where the truth ends and the legend begins. All actually became larger-than-life characters during their lifetimes, as contemporary newspapers and books embellished their deeds for their own purposes. But it was in Hollywood that the line between reality and myth was completely blurred. Each chapter-length entry here first focuses on the known facts of the people's lives and how each became truly legendary during their lifetimes. The reality is then compared to how they have been portrayed in the movies.

The famous battle that defeated the giants was fought thirteen years ago. The trolls remain confined east of the Mississippi. No one’s spotted a harpy since 1875.

Without waiting for help, she must find the killers, defeat their dragon, and prevent the destruction of the West.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most families in the early West wanted to make an honest living at jobs they knew best supplying their loved ones with food and putting clothes on their backs. The Masters family was one who made their living with blood, sweat and tears operating one of Arkansass largest cattle ranches. Vince Masters, the youngest son of the family loved the art of quick drawing a pistol. Against the approval of his father he solemnly promised to never use a gun on anyone unless it meant protecting his family. When he discovers his whole family slaughtered he is forced to retract that promise and sets off to hunt down the unknown assailant. Crossing three states with few clues to go on he finds himself constantly being forced to use his gun against hired outlaws who stand in his way from pursuing his mission. The law finds that having Vince on their side is a good thing. His draw was said to be faster than most famous gunfighters known in the Wild West. The name Vince Masters was never listed as one of the fastest gunfighters in history as he was able to keep his identity unknown. His only interest was to find the man he was looking for and destroy him. Becoming famous was the one thing he wanted to prevent at all cost. He finds that the many hours spent on learning to handle a gun would be an asset that would save his life as well as others. Never-the-less many big name gunfighters would go against this unknown man only to come up short and parish by the draw of the MASTER GUNSLINGER.

Book Synopsis The Gunslingers of '69 by : Brian Hannan
Download or read book The Gunslingers of '69 written by Brian Hannan and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2019-10-04 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1969--the counter-cultural moment when Easy Rider triggered a "youthquake" in audience interests--Westerns proved more dominant than ever at the box office and at the Oscars. It was a year of masterpieces--The Wild Bunch, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Once Upon a Time in the West and True Grit. Robert Redford achieved star status. Old-timers like John Wayne, Gregory Peck and Robert Mitchum appeared in two Westerns apiece. Raquel Welch took on the mantle of Queen of the West. Clint Eastwood and Lee Marvin tried their hand at a musical (Paint Your Wagon). New directors like George Roy Hill reinvigorated the genre while veteran Sam Peckinpah at last found popular approval. Themes included women's rights, social anxieties about violence and changing attitudes of and towards African-Americans and Native Americans. All of the 40-plus Westerns released in the U.S. in 1969 are covered in depth, offering a new perspective on the genre.

The Warded Gunslinger is a short novel of guns and magic in a distant future, where dragons are real, warpstone ships roam the galaxy, and courage sets heroes apart from villains.

The Warded Gunslinger is the first standalone novel in the Warded Gunslinger series: short, action-packed novels/novellas in the style of the old SF and Western pulps – an equal mix of Star Wars and the Clint Eastwood/Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns, that you can read in an hour or two.

But when both the fracturing worlds and Clint’s bride-to-be are thrust into peril by an old foe, the gunslinger must come out of retirement and aim his seven-shooters at the dark magic and those who bring it.

Book excerpt: Where were you on the day that the Earth disappeared? So there I was, on an awkward first date with my secret crush, when the colonies went into revolt. They nuked the moon and hijacked half of Earthfleet—and that was just the opening salvo. Then I learned that my date was one of the terrorists (or patriots, depending on your politics), and I had to make a choice: join her, or spend the next few days stuffed in an EVA suit locker. I chose the former, and that's the only reason I'm still here. The name's Rex Carter. On the day the Earth disappeared, the civil war had just broken out, and I didn't know which side I was on. All I knew was that my homeworld had been swallowed by an alien anomaly, and I had to get to Jane and Sam, my gunslinging sister and brother-in-law. Unfortunately, the Kletchkas are no longer with us. But that's part of my story, too.
