Book excerpt: "Maggie Ray" inspires us to follow our dreams to new heights. It was wartime 1943. Many people thought women weren't capable of piloting military planes. In a daring move, young Maggie earned her pilot's license and responded to an invitation from Uncle Sam to join the Womens Air Force Service Pilots, the WASP. One of America's first women Air Force pilots, Tom Brokaw paid tribute to this amazing woman, dedicating an entire chapter to her story in "The Greatest Generation." Now her daughter, author Marsha J. Wright, brings you the exciting story beginning when Maggie was ten through war's end.

Book excerpt: "On the morning of June 19, 1944, as U.S. troops were battling Japanese forces on Saipan in the Mariana Islands in the Pacific, American pilots based on aircraft carriers offshore rushed to their planes to protect their fleet from an enemy attack from the air. Calling the mission a once-in-a-lifetime fighter pilot's dream when he spotted a large mass of enemy planes bearing down on the U.S. ships, one navy pilot from Indiana, Alex Vraciu, flying a Hellcat fighter from the USS Lexington, pounced on the Japanese and shot down six dive bombers in just eight minutes. Written by award-winning biographer Ray E. Boomhower, Fighter Pilot: The World War II Career of Alex Vraciu, the sixth volume in the Indiana Historical Society Press's youth biography series, examines the daring exploits of the Hoosier flier during his wartime career. A graduate of DePauw University, Vraciu learned to fly during his college years through a government program and joined the navy before America was thrust into the war following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Possessed with keen eyesight, quick reflexes, excellent shooting instincts, and a knack for finding his opponent's weak spot, Vraciu became skilled in the deadly game of destroying the enemy in the skies over the Pacific Ocean. For a period of four months in 1944, Vraciu stood as the leading ace in the U.S. Navy. He shot down nineteen enemy airplanes in the air, destroyed an additional twenty-one on the ground, and sank a large Japanese merchant ship with a well-placed bomb hit. Vraciu's luck, however, finally ran out on December 14, 1944, during a strafing run against a Japanese airfield before the American invasion to retake the Philippines. Luckily he was almost immediately rushed to safety by a small group of U.S. Army in the Far East guerrillas, who had been battling the Japanese in the area for the past few years. The navy pilot spent the next five weeks with the guerrillas, receiving the honorary rank of brevet major while with them. Vraci finally marched into an American camp carrying with him a captured Japanese Luger pistol and sword."--Amazon.com

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Col. Ray "Frenchy" L'Heureux always dreamed of bring a pilot. Growing up, he built airplane models and dreamed about soaring over the earth. When he was twelve, his mom treated him to a flying lesson at the local airfield. Taken on a short flight by an instructor and allowed to operate the controls for part of the flight, he was hooked forever. It wasn't until he was running low on college funds and saw a recruiter at his college that he joined the Marines and began the journey towards his dream from Parris Island to Bravo Company and, then, officer training school. One day at an airfield when President Reagan landed on this way to a fundraiser, Frenchy's life changed forever when encountered HMX1, the squadron that flies the President in Marine One. When he saw the white-topped Sea King and White Hawk helicopters, he was determined to become part of that elite group. Inside Marine One is Col. L'Heureux's inspiring story of a young man who dreamed of flying, trained, studied and worked hard to become the pilot who ended up serving four US Presidents - George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama. It's also a personal guided tour inside the world's most famous helicopter by a man who knows that flying machine better than any other. Inside Marine One is a great American success story of a young boy who dreamed big, worked hard and finally flew the President of the United States as his number one passenger.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During the Second World War RAF Bomber Command produced a handful of remarkable pilots who won fame and high honors: Gibson, Cheshire, Martin, Tait, and Searby. The majority of aircrew, however, were young sergeants, many of whom did not survive to complete a first tour of thirty operations. Between the two extremes, there were, on every squadron, one or two senior captains who had survived one tour and whose experience, skill, courage, and example made a vital contribution to their squadron's life, training and operational success. This book is about one such captain, Flight Lieutenant Jack Wetherly, DFC. It traces his development from novice second pilot of a Wellington in the pioneering days of 1940 to senior captain of a Halifax in Wing-Commander Leonard Cheshire's squadron in what MRAF Sir Arthur Harris called his 'Main Offensive'. It deals also with his pre-war life and service, flying tiny bi-planes with the RAFVR, and with his career as a flying instructor at the RAF College Cranwell and as an instructor of instructors at RAF Montrose.Above all, it is a personal book, inspired by the sacrifice made nearly half a century ago by a young man of twenty-eight. Acclaim for the work:''Reading Portrait of a Bomber Pilot, I felt that I was living with Jack Wetherly through the last few years of his young life. He is a good man to be with honorable, selfless, and an exceptional pilot...Christopher Jary has written of Jack Wetherly carefully, unsentimentally, and very movingly. He has added a chapter to the brave, sad story of World War Two''.

Book excerpt: "All the members of the Long Grey Line that stretches through the years from 1802 have the cadet gray uniform in common, but individual classes develop different personalities shaped by experiences and times through which they pass. Each Academy class is different from every other ... Much of what follows is derived from interviews with the men of '62. Their contributions are typical of those made by other West Point classes. Throughout, I'll use my own observations to provide perspectives on the times through which we passed"--Introduction

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cockpit chaos and classroom camaraderie fuel the entropic adventures of Second Lieutenant Ray Wright and his fellow classmates of UPT Class 88-07 at Columbus Air Force Base, Mississippi. Though competing against one another for the flying assignments of their dreams, like the fearsome F-15 and F-16 fighters, a good mission sometimes takes a backseat to a good party or punch line in this classroom of cut-ups. The high stakes, however, loom over Lt. Wright. In a program where one out of three students fails, not everybody who starts UPT will finish it. And not everybody who does finish will get a desirable flying assignment. Some won't even escape the Columbus Air Force Base. Will Lt. Wright get his dream assignment flying a C-141 cargo plane based out of beachside Charleston, South Carolina? Or be forced to perpetuate the If you ain't a pilot... system as the dreaded FAIP (First Assignment Instructor Pilot) in Columbus, Mississippi? Set at the end of the Cold War in the heart of Dixie, IF YOU AIN'T A PILOT...crosses Top Gun adrenaline with Pee-Wee's Playhouse antics at a flight training base where Air Force idealism collides with Deep South heritage. Complete at 142,000 words, this comedic memoir written for a general audience charts the year when a newly commissioned officer is challenged not only by flight school but also by the Air Force dictum If you ain't a pilot, you ain't shit. Though a military memoir, IF YOU AIN'T A PILOT... is a story of youthful innocence, a happy tale of the best of friends. Beneath the story's surface layer of how an Air Force officer's aeronautical rating determines his worth, similar thematic layers unfold around gender, race, and other ways people define each other. At its core, this story is about people, our relationships, and how we choose to treat each other. While 30 years have passed since the memoir's events-and our aircraft, our enemy, and our pop-culture ties have changed-we still struggle with our differences. IF YOU AIN'T A PILOT taps into the mystic of Top Gun (the sequel of which is currently in development), the satirical wryness of Candide and Catch-22, and the allure of the air-travel genre captured by Mark Vanhoenacker's recent Skyfaring: A Journey with a Pilot (2015), Tom Wolfe's The Right Stuff, and James Salter's The Hunters. More details are actual photos from Lt. Wright's year in flight school can be found at www.raymondjwright.com.

This book was released on 2012-07-16 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume on some recent aspects of finite element methods and their applications is dedicated to Ulrich Langer and Arnd Meyer on the occasion of their 60th birthdays in 2012. Their work combines the numerical analysis of finite element algorithms, their efficient implementation on state of the art hardware architectures, and the collaboration with engineers and practitioners. In this spirit, this volume contains contributions of former students and collaborators indicating the broad range of their interests in the theory and application of finite element methods. Topics cover the analysis of domain decomposition and multilevel methods, including hp finite elements, hybrid discontinuous Galerkin methods, and the coupling of finite and boundary element methods; the efficient solution of eigenvalue problems related to partial differential equations with applications in electrical engineering and optics; and the solution of direct and inverse field problems in solid mechanics.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many World War II exploits took place away from the spotlight. Raymond Miller brings his gift to the story of Service and Duty. How he chose to leave Purdue University, ROTC, a basketball team and parents behind to help bring a dictator to heel as co-pilot of a B-17G Flying Fortress Bomber. On Raymond's second combat mission he nearly lost his life from a piece of shrapnel to the throat and shattered breast bone. After surgery and rehab he resumed to co-pilot twenty more combat missions encountering the best the Germans could throw against them. They'd leave out to fly a mission over hostile territory not knowing when they might be hit or knowing if they would return. There were flights where the crews gulp to alleviate fear, for they felt there were no havens of security in an Allied victory that at times seemed importable. Raymond Miller feels honored to have been able to serve his country. Raymond's story gives a compelling glimpse of three brothers' value that characterized their early years and their United States Army Air Corps years of dedication. Raymond says, "I feel blessed for God has been good to me.

Book excerpt: 737NG Training Syllabus is a highly detailed, full color book virtually crammed with original graphics and thousands of words of descriptive text that will provide a complete training syllabus for persons wishing to learn to operate the 737NG jet airliner. While intended specifically for the Flight Simulation market, even professional airline pilots will find the information useful and informative. This is a guide intended to teach "simmers" how to fly the jet the way "the Pros do". Learning to fly the 737NG like a real pilot is a challenging and exciting adventure awaiting computer-pilots. However, as the increasing complexity of the ADD-ON airplane models blurs the boundary between Professional flight training and flight simulation "games", the task seems very difficult .. or even impossible. Captain Mike Ray's "737NG Training Syllabus" IS the document that will make this transition not only possible, but entertaining and ... well, a whole lot more simple. Written for the beginner as well as the veteran simmer, the profusely illustrated material is crammed with details, diagrams, explanations and useful information. The material starts slowly but builds to a crescendo. It includes a section for the "knows nothing" Ab-initio wannabe pilot and builds to provide information and operational procedures that will provide interesting and useful insight to even the professional airline pilot community.This beautiful and unique document provides the access toolset to the knowledge base that will allow the ordinary garden variety flight sim addict to cross the bridge between operating the current state of the art home based PC flight simulation programs and the real airline style simulator. This book is a MUST HAVE item for the 737NG computer pilot who wants to fly the incredibly accurate add-on airplanes as if they were real pilots.This paperback Black and White version of Captain Mike Ray's book on training to fly the 737NG is a great bargain. You get all the same information that is in the pricier (but more beautiful) color version ... and the same graphic and text that makes the volume such a popular item for both professional airline pilots as well as Flight Simmers. So get a copy ... and learn to fly the 737NG like the pros do.
