This book was released on 2003-06-17 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fifty years after Isaac's Storm, a riveting story of the first Hurricane Hunters, and the one crew who paid the ultimate price. "In a virtual age when tempests are monitored by global positioning and The Weather Channel, Stormchasers reminds us that our first understanding of hurricanes was directly built on the risks and sacrifices of living, breathing heroes," writes Hampton Sides (author of Ghost Soldiers). In September 1955, Navy Lieutenant Commander Grover B. Windham and a crew of eight flew out of Guantánamo Bay into the eye of Hurricane Janet swirling in the Caribbean: a routine weather reconnaissance mission from which they never returned. In the wake of World War II, the Air Force and the Navy had discovered a new civilian arena where daring pilots could test their courage and skill. These Hurricane Hunters flew into raging storms to gauge their strength and predict their paths. Without computer, global positioning, or satellite support, they relied on rudimentary radar systems to locate the hurricane's eye and estimated the drift of their aircraft by looking at windblown waves below. Drawing from Navy documents and interviews with members of the squadron and relatives of the crew, Stormchasers reconstructs the ill-fated mission of Windham's crew from preflight checks to the chilling moment of their final transmission.

Book Synopsis Hurricane Hunters by : William C. Anderson
Download or read book Hurricane Hunters written by William C. Anderson and published by . This book was released on 1972 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Filled with the tension and drama of a hurricane itself, this is a brutally realistic novel of "Hurricane Hilda," the victims of its unrelenting fury, and the men who try to understand, forecast, and minimize the effects of this deadly ravager. In this gripping novel, William C. Anderson, himself and ex-hurricane hunter and Air Force pilot, explores the terrifying and awesome world of Captain Louis Sheffield, one of the unsung heroes of man's battle against the natural elements. Assisted by only a skeleton crew, Sheffield must fly into the calm eye of the raging turbulence of Hilda in order to determine the power and potential of her winds. Anderson weaves an absorbing tale of suspense as the irascible HIlda spews forth her wrath, creating a series of agonizing crises for all those in her path : at Houston Space Center, Texas, the success of a multi-million-dollar Apollo moon shot and the lives of the astronauts are at stake; off the Florida coast a wealthy New York advertising tycoon and his beautiful young daughter are trapped in the eye of the hurricane without food or fuel; in Washington, D.C., a stroke victim whose one chance for survival lies in a heart transplant is readied for a crash landing on an airfield already buffeted by hurricane winds; and around the country thousands of others wait and hope for survival as the storm plows its deadly course up the coast. Each year the hurricane season threatens to devastate the Atlantic Coast. By going behind the scenes, into the lives and hearts of those who must deal with hurricanes, often with feeble aircraft in which they fly reconnaissance missions as dangerous as those in combat, Anderson has captured the dangers, the violence, and the heroism in a novel of great power. It is also a warmly human story of the love and devotion shared by the dauntless Captain Sheffield and his brave new bride. An exciting account of man's batter against nature unleashed, THE HURRICANE HUNTERS will prove engrossing reading for all who are intrigued by the adventure and scientific challenge presented by one of the world's most destructive natural forces.
