Book Synopsis Mission Beyond Darkness by : Lt.-Comdr. J. Bryan III
Download or read book Mission Beyond Darkness written by Lt.-Comdr. J. Bryan III and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: THE concluding phase of the First Battle of the Philippines occurred on June 19, 1944. Late that afternoon, United States Navy planes from Task Force 58 attacked a Japanese fleet. They sank one carrier and four tankers, probably sank another carrier, another tanker and a destroyer, and damaged several other ships. Our losses were ninety-six planes and forty-nine men. Vice-Admiral Marc A. Mitscher, Commander of Task Force 58, gave the order that launched the attack. The planes that delivered it were drawn from air groups based on the carriers that constituted part of his command. Air Group 16, based on his flagship, the USS Lexington, was typical of the groups participating from the larger carriers. It consisted of three squadrons: Fighting 16, equipped with F6F-3s, or Hellcats; Torpedo 16, equipped with TBM-1Cs, or Avengers; and Bombing 16, equipped with SBD-3s, or Dauntlesses. Thirty-four of Air Group 16’s planes took off that afternoon; eleven single-seater Hellcats, seven Avengers with crews of three, sixteen Dauntlesses with crews of two. The account that follows is the account of those sixty-four men. It is derived wholly from narratives by the survivors, from statements by officers and men of the Lexington’s company, and from the authors’ witness. No incident has been fabricated. No word or thought or action has been ascribed to anyone without his own authority.

Book Synopsis Dark Beyond Darkness by : James G. Blight
Download or read book Dark Beyond Darkness written by James G. Blight and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 281 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Dark Beyond Darkness, James Blight and janet Lang, among the world’s foremost authorities on the Cuban missile crisis, synthesize the findings from their thirty-year project on the most dangerous moment in recorded history. Authoritative, accessible, and written with their usual flair and wit, DBD is the first book to take readers deeply inside the experience and calculations of Fidel Castro, who was willing to martyr Cuba if his new Russian ally would nuke the U.S. and destroy it. Blight and Lang have established that in October 1962, the world was on the brink of Armageddon, and that we escaped by luck. Their history is scary but unimpeachably accurate: we just barely escaped the cold and the dark in October 1962. Their history also comes with a warning: we are currently at risk not only of Armageddon-fast, in a war between superpowers, but Armageddon-in-Slow-Motion (the result a climate catastrophe following a regional nuclear war), and from Armageddon, Oops! (a conflict sparked by an accident, which is misinterpreted, and ends in nuclear war). Drawing on the insights of poets, musicians and novelists, as well as climate scientists and agronomists, they show the terrible risk we run by refusing to abolish nuclear weapons.
Download or read book Pacific Air written by David Sears and published by Hachette+ORM. This book was released on 2011-05-31 with total page 408 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a grand sweeping narrative, Pacific Air tells the inspiring story of how, despite initial disastrous defeats, a generation of young naval aviators challenged and ultimately vanquished a superior Japanese air force and fleet in the Pacific. The instruments of the United States aviators' triumphs were the elegantly designed F4F Wildcat, F6F Hellcat, as well as the lethal TBF Avenger torpedo bomber. With superbly trained U.S. Navy and Marine Corps aviators at their controls, these planes became the most successful aerial weapons in naval history. A majestic portrait of a proud era from dual perspectives--the inventive minds of young aeronautical engineers and the deadly artistry of even younger combat pilots -- Pacific Air brings this important yet underappreciated chapter of World War II vividly to life.
Book Synopsis Ascending Beyond Darkness by : Ayat Abuznade
Download or read book Ascending Beyond Darkness written by Ayat Abuznade and published by Amz Book Publishing Solutions. This book was released on 2024-07-01 with total page 106 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this heartfelt narrative, I invite you into a world where the echoes of war and disaster are met with the gentle hands of hope and healing. It is a story that begins with a personal quest for meaning, a search for something more in the chaos of life. My journey is one of self-discovery, sparked by crisis and fueled by a desire to reach out to those in dire need. The book unfolds in a series of chapters showing my unique transformative experiences across the globe, from Zaatari Refugee Camp in 2014, where the stark reality of forceful child marriages paints a vivid picture of the struggles faced by many, all the way to Karabakh, where the tragedy of a young life lost in a bombing becomes a painful reminder of the fragility of life. From the streets of Moldova, swarmed by the refugees of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, to the displaced families of Morocco during the Earthquake. Each of my experiences will show you the struggles and pain of those who desperately need our love and assistance. But the message of the book is clear and coherent. We all can do our bit to make this world a better place. In the face of difficulties and hardships, there is always hope. In the darkness of chaos and pain, there is always light. This book is more than a collection of experiences; it is an invitation to witness the power of human connection and the difference one person can make. I will try to share my story, which is both personal and universal-a call to action for anyone who has ever felt the urge to reach out and help another soul in need. Let this story be a reminder that in the midst of life's greatest challenges, there lies the opportunity to find our true purpose and to leave an indelible mark on the world. From the Zaatari Refugee Camp in 2014 to the earthquake-ravaged regions of Turkey and through the flooded villages in Pakistan, Ayat Abuznade's journey as a humanitarian is one of unyielding resilience, unwavering strength, boundless compassion, and undying hope. In this riveting book, Ayat takes readers on an unforgettable experience through some of the world's most devastating crises, sharing the pivotal moments that shaped her extraordinary path. Born in the US, Ayat's early life forged her future. The friendships she formed and the experiences she endured laid the foundation for her life's unwavering commitment to helping those who suffered around the world, from refugees fleeing their homes to families and orphans with no one else left in the world to turn to. Throughout this book, she vividly recounts her experiences in Greece, USA, Lebanon, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and the war-torn regions of Russia and Ukraine. Each chapter pulsates with her relentless drive to make a difference despite facing overwhelming odds. As the founder of "Global Team 4 Humanity," Ayat shares her experiences and how she and her team were devoted to global humanitarian aid. The second part of this memoir dives deeply into the personal impacts of her work, revealing her profound love for children, the irreplaceable importance of family, and the power of true love to heal even the deepest wounds. This book aims to share the true strength within every human being and underscores the importance of hope. Ultimately, the message is very clear: Even one person can indeed make a significant difference in the world.

Book Synopsis F4F Wildcat and F6F Hellcat Aces of VF-2 by : Thomas McKelvey Cleaver
Download or read book F4F Wildcat and F6F Hellcat Aces of VF-2 written by Thomas McKelvey Cleaver and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2015-02-20 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The first VF-2 was a prewar unit that had been dubbed the 'hottest outfit afloat' due to the skill of their non-commissioned pilots. This first unit only saw combat at the Battle of the Coral Sea, although VF-2 pilots flying Grumman F4F Wildcats were able to rack up 17 claims there during the bitter 48-hour period of fighting. The second 'Fighting Two' was armed with the new Grumman F6F-3 Hellcat fighter. Arriving in Hawaii in October 1943, the squadron so impressed Cdr Edward H 'Butch' O'Hare, the Medal of Honor-winning first US Navy ace of World War 2, that he requested the squadron replace VF-6 in his CAG-6 aboard USS Enterprise. No unit US Navy unit created more aces than VF-2, whose pilots went into action over the Carolines, Marianas, Guam, Iwo Jima and the Battle of the Philippine Sea. Using exquisite photographs and first-hand accounts from the elite fliers themselves, this volume tells the story of the ace pilots who comprised the original VF-2 and the second.
