Book excerpt: My Air Force Adventure started the day the High School Principle at Richlands Virginia caught a bunch of football players and me skipping class and playing pinball. He marched all of us down main street to the office. He called the football Stars in and gave them a stern talking, told them they should be ashamed of themselves, and let them go. Then he called me and my friend in and wanted to know what we had to say for ourselves, we said nothing. He stared at us and OK! You're getting a whipping. I was brash young men know it all and said no you’re not whipping me for I just quit. He said well get off my property then and I left. I finished two years of High School, now wasn't I a smart one. I went up the street to the recruiters and talked about joining the service. He looked at me and said: son how old are you, I piped up and proudly said 17. You are underage boy and will have to get your parents to sign the papers, which they did. Hot Dog; I was on my way to the Air Force in a couple of Days and just knew I would become a Pilot. WELL! In my book you will learn how I soon learned to take orders and obey a superior. How I survived a bombing of a Theater in Saigon Vietnam. You will follow me through a career of 23 years in the Air Force assigned to many different bases all over this world, the hardships good and bad. You will also learn how I almost died in two separate plane incidents, one on a C-47 Lake Central Airline and the other on a Canadian Cl-44 Flying Tiger Airline.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: My inspiration for the name of this memoir is derived from the superstitious wives tale about cats having nine lives. The notion of that myth, while the origin is unknown to me, seemed to be a fitting title line. In the course of a 26 year career as an Air Force Pilot, there were the usual sorts of in-flight emergencies and associated difficulties. Yet there were still other life or death situations wherein it seemed things were entirely out of my control; it was if I was merely along for the ride as a spectator. Those events constitute the eight very distinct occasions wherein, but for the Grace of God and Divine Intervention, I believe it is most doubtful that I would still be around to author the memoirs embodied in this autobiography.

Book excerpt: “A fabulous read, filled with heroism, history, and hi-jinks, as author William F. Sine recounts his life as an Air Force Pararescue Jumper” (Readers’ Favorite). US Air Force Pararescue is the most skillful and capable rescue force in the world, taking on some of the most dangerous rescue missions imaginable. PJs (short for para-jumpers), are members of an elite unit whose commando skills are so wide-reaching they often seem like something out of science fiction. They routinely tackle perilous operations that are beyond the capabilities of other rescue organizations, and sometimes dare the seemingly impossible. Since their inception in 1947, PJs have saved more than thirty thousand lives. They can pluck near-frozen climbers off jagged mountaintops and recover shot-down jet pilots stranded deep in hostile territory. In the dead of night, the PJs parachute into ominous, black, twenty-foot-tall waves to save distressed seamen, and they brave the cruelest and most desolate deserts to recover victims. US Air Force pararescuemen have played a prominent role in every armed conflict since the Korean War, rescuing thousands of soldiers from behind enemy lines. Guardian Angel provides a rare glimpse at a PJ’s mind-blowing adventures. You follow Sgt. Sine’s trek across exotic lands and share his encounters with mysterious cultures. Learn what it takes to lower from a helicopter onto the slippery decks of storm-tossed ships to rescue dying sailors. Feel what it’s like to be caught in the middle of a bomb blast so powerful that it tears high-rise buildings in half, and flattens armored vehicles hundreds of yards away. Soar high above towering jungle trees and experience the danger of swinging on a slim cable below a helicopter, while performing a mid-air rescue of a pilot, dangling from his chute a hundred feet above a mountain slope. Go to war in Afghanistan and parachute onto a nocturnal battlefield, surrounded by land mines, to help a mortally wounded soldier. This is a deadly serious business: When things go wrong, they can go terribly wrong. Aircraft crash into mountainsides, killing all onboard, while some PJs live through horrendous helicopter crashes only to struggle with freezing temperatures, snapped limbs and torn flesh in a desperate fight for survival. This book presents true stories of uncommon courage told from the perspective of the actual men in the arena. PJs belong to an exclusive brotherhood and forge unbreakable bonds of loyalty, commitment, and sacrifice. They do these things for their country, to protect their brothers in arms, and to honor their motto: “That Others May Live.”

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Jessie has one rule: No dating airmen. Unfortunately, Derrick Allen doesn't seem to care. But what does it matter? Prince Charming had a horse, not a cargo plane. Jessie: A strange silence settled over the car. And though I scrolled through my inbox, I found myself more and more unsettled by the man sitting beside me. Which was stupid. This was Derrick, the guy who tormented me for half of our relationship and spent the other half playing pranks and begging me to help him avoid his boss. So why did I feel like I was really meeting him for the first time? And why did it suddenly feel like maybe...maybe it was time to rethink the rules after all? *** Derrick: It had to be the uniform. Women were weird about uniforms. It was just something I wore every day. It had function and utility. Once I’d accidentally terrified a group of kids in a gas station, who I quickly realized were from another country. But Jessie didn’t look terrified. She looked...curious. And though that would have concerned me two months ago, now I couldn’t help but wonder if I liked it. My Little Rock Airman is the first in the My Air Force Fairy Tale series, clean and wholesome standalone novels about life and love with military men. Read it today to find love, truth, laughter, and the magic of happily ever after.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Air Vagabonds is the story of the amazing, true (mis)adventures of a band of rogues piloting aircraft alone into exotic and deadly destinations. In the late 1970s and through the 1980s the demand for light aircraft eclipsed anything seen before or since. This created the need for a small air force of pilots—ferry pilots—willing to fly thousands of planes to clients in every corner of the globe. Long-range solo flying is not for everyone, and it attracted a cast of eccentric, unforgettable mavericks who flew from one misadventure to the next, battling storms, desert winds, aircraft malfunctions, primitive navigational aids, loneliness, chemical imbalances, and dangerous Third World politics. Some carried on international scams and love affairs, some were lost at sea, some imprisoned by African despots. They’re all here, described with humor and high drama by one of their own, a survivor with phenomenal recall, a knack for distinguishing character from bluster, and a great ear for dialogue and aviation lore.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a tale of adventure and learning based on my time in the Air Force in W.W. II. I enlisted in mid 1942 right after graduation from high school. I went through the basics and graduated from Hancock College of Aeronautics pilot school in June of 1943. From here, I was sent to Air Force radio school and subsequently, after several specialty schools, I was assigned to a B-24 as radio operator. I served in this capacity in the C.B.I. For 270 combat hours. We were just getting ready to move to the Pacific area when the war ended after the B-29s dropped a couple atom bombs.
