Book Synopsis The Lindbergh-Sikorsky Connection by : Igor I. Sikorsky Sr.
Download or read book The Lindbergh-Sikorsky Connection written by Igor I. Sikorsky Sr. and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2021-06-21 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aviation grew from a pioneering and experimental group into an industry in the Golden Era of aviation in the 1930s providing commercial passenger service worldwide. Two aviation pioneers had a role in this development. While Igor Sikorsky is primarily known for his development of the helicopter, he was a leading designer of amphibian aircraft before that. These flying boats established passenger travel by air, first through the Caribbean, then South America, and ultimately the Pacific. Charles Lindbergh found his central role in transforming aviation from a barnstorming stunt into an industry through his epic solo flight across the Atlantic. As a consultant to Pan America, he charted international commercial routes for Juan Trippe's Airline. For the decade of 1930s, these two brilliant minds interacted to create an aircraft industry. This is their story, how they interacted and how they helped shape aviation history.
Download or read book Crust Heaven written by Vincent Tanner and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crust Heaven—a strange name. Crust Heaven is a retrospect, looking back from an adult’s perspective to a nine-year-old’s visions of the world surrounding him. Travel back in your mind to a time before computers, before cell phones, even before most homes had televisions. Back when life was simpler. My grandson Joey had just turned nine years old. One day he said to me, “You know, Papa…. You cook so good you should open up a restaurant!” “I would if I could,” I told him. “You could call it Crust Heaven,” he stated. I have no idea where or how he came up with that name, but it stuck in my mind, so I started to write this story. I only wrote down the first chapter. After that, it just sat there. That was almost twenty years ago. I resurrected the story, but going back in time to the early fifties, to a simpler life when I was growing up. I used my grandson Joey as the main character, basing much of the story on things he did and said as he was growing up. Other happenings and characters are fashioned after things the kids and I did that I grew up with. All the things that happen in this story are centered on real-life experiences. My life’s experiences blended in with Joey’s. There’s very little fiction in this story—most of it happened at one time or another. I am offering you the chance to live and grow up around Crust Heaven, and if you’re a baby boomer like me, you might get a few laughs. One of the many people who do proofreading for me and who grew up at the same time as I did wrote to me after reading the first drafts and said— “Thanks for the memories.”

Book excerpt: Why Quatro? It is pretty simple. Quatro means “four,” and this book contains four novellas. These four works are not related to one another in any possible way except for the fact they were all written by the same author. They all have distinct characters with diverse personalities. Where each story takes place is unique. They are all of varying lengths, and not surprisingly, they all have individual titles, so it does not matter in which order you read them. ***** “15 Minutes to Live.” Five chapters, five dissimilar people, five separate locations, five different times. All with one thing in common: they all have only fifteen minutes to live! “Hamden Notch.” A sleepy little town with a grisly little secret. “HouseBeat.” There’s no place like home—except if the home doesn’t want you there! “Crust Heaven.” Travel back in time before computers, before cell phones, even before most homes had televisions. Back when life was simpler, especially when viewed through the eyes of a nine-year-old boy.
Book Synopsis 15 Minutes to Live by : Vincent Tanner
Download or read book 15 Minutes to Live written by Vincent Tanner and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In February 1968, Andy Warhol coined the phrase "fifteen minutes of fame." His actual statement is slightly different. He said, "In the future, everybody will be world-famous for fifteen minutes." This is not about Andy Warhol, nor is it about fame. It is about fifteen minutes. Fifteen minutes--Not a very long amount of time by any standard. However, while it is a very brief period to some, it can seem like an eternity to others, depending on the situation and the circumstances. You need to be somewhere important in just fifteen minutes, and you are not quite ready. Those minutes seem to fly by. You are stuck in traffic on your way to catch a plane, your flight boards in fifteen minutes. Those minutes disappear as if by magic. It is just one-quarter of an hour, fifteen short minutes, 900 seconds, but they are different things to different people. To some, they are too short; to others, they are too long. This is not a very long book. However, it will take more than fifteen minutes to read. Yet, it contains only five chapters; each separate one is about how five distinguished people deal with fifteen minutes. These are not the best fifteen minutes of their lives; it is their last fifteen minutes. The question to you is--What would you do with your one-quarter hour, your fifteen minutes, your 900 seconds? What would you be thinking? What would run through your mind if you knew for certain that you had only -- Fifteen Minutes to Live?
Download or read book The Wanderers written by Vincent Tanner and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-01-14 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An expanding sun, a doomed Earth, and a race against time to save a small fragment of the world’s people. Their only hope lies in an aging observation platform being hastily retrofitted for deep space travel. This vessel is the only existing ship large enough to accommodate the courageous pioneers on their long passage through space. The Wanderers takes you on a journey of more than forty years—from the initial discovery of the coming cataclysm to the space voyage inside a wormhole. The travelers find a planet in a distant solar system that they believe to be their new garden of Eden, replete with not one but thousands of serpents. No one is prepared for what they discover on the surface of Arilias-6, or worse, what discovers them. Greatly influenced by the writings of authors such as Jules Verne and Edgar Rice Burroughs, Vincent Tanner’s tale of the wanderers seamlessly blends action and dialogue into a moving and imaginative adventure.
Download or read book House Beat written by Vincent Tanner and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-05-10 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: House Beat. There's no place like home--except if the house doesn't want you there! A Connecticut family living in a small apartment in Oaks, Pennsylvania, moves into an old semi-colonial house in Royersford, PA., needing a tremendous amount of work located about ten miles from King of Prussia. The Monahan family, Elizabeth, Kyle, and their children, Eleanor and Henry. This is the story of how their lives changed. From the outside, the house is very old-looking. The exterior is terrible, but nothing a little paint or siding won't take care of. The roof needs to be replaced. "I think I may have found a house for us!" Kyle says. "It has a nice piece of level property. A bit overgrown with brush, but that's easily cleaned up. When I saw the asking price, I had to take a drive-by. The house needs work--a fixer-upper, but it is more than three times the size of this place. What caught my eye was the price. We have almost enough put aside to buy it outright." The realtor unlocks the door. The hinges creak. "Creepy!" Henry stammers. The agent only goes as far as the door. She has an apprehensive look on her face and goes no farther into the house. The house has the usual problems any building built before the Civil War has; noisy pipes, creaky stairs, but they are soon to find out-- There is much more!

Book Synopsis The Sikorsky Legacy by : Sergei I. Sikorsky
Download or read book The Sikorsky Legacy written by Sergei I. Sikorsky and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the history of Sikorsky aviation and its founder, Igor I. Sikorsky, one of the most talented and versatile aeronautical pioneers in history. Sikorsky's aviation career spanned over 60 years and was highlighted by three major achievements: the creation of the world's first four-engine airliner; the record-breaking Clipper Ships, with which Pan American Airways explored transpacific and transatlantic airline service; and the development of the helicopter. Sikorsky then led his engineers out of the piston-engine era and into the jet age with the design and development of some of the most widely used turbine-powered helicopters in aviation history. More than 200 photographs, many from the Sikorsky family archives, document the genius of Sikorsky's intuitive engineering and his lifelong interest in the challenge of the helicopter, which many historians consider to be his crowning achievement.

Book Synopsis Powering the World's Airliners by : Reiner Decher
Download or read book Powering the World's Airliners written by Reiner Decher and published by Air World. This book was released on 2020-02-28 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first efforts of man to fly were limited by his ability to generate sufficient power to lift a heavier-than-air machine off the ground. Propulsion and thrust have therefore been the most fundamental elements in the development of aircraft engines. From the simple propellers of the first airliners of the 1920s and 1930s, to the turboprops and turbojets of the modern era, the engines used in airliners have undergone dramatic development over a century of remarkable change. These advances are examined in detail by aeronautical engineer and author Reiner Decher, who provides a layman’s guide to the engines that have, and continue to, power the aircraft which carry millions of travelers across millions of miles each year. Reiner Decher also looks at the development of aero engines during the Second World War and how that conflict drove innovation. He also explains the nature of wing design and how they provide lift and of the considerations of airflow over their surfaces, from the early days of the twentieth century to the present. To enable an easy understanding of this intriguing subject, Powering the World's Airliners is profusely illustrated, transporting readers back to the time of each major development and introducing them to the key individuals of the aero industry in each era. After reading this comprehensive yet engaging story of the machines that power the aircraft in which we fly, no journey will ever seem quite the same again.
