Book Synopsis My name is LIFE by : CAPTAIN ANDY Andrzej Jankowski
Download or read book My name is LIFE written by CAPTAIN ANDY Andrzej Jankowski and published by GEESIS HOUSE. This book was released on with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A great many things come into focus from the deck of an oceangoing yacht, since oceans are not restricted by earthly cares and regulations. Maybe that is why he experiences the wonders of this world so intensely. ‘It all starts with a dream. It begins with one deep dream that most of us have at least once in our lives. And yet most of us never pursue our dreams, as these illusions are not real. We must keep our feet firmly on the ground – this is what our relatives, teachers and so-called common sense and the and the world tell us all the time. They even convince us with a pair of hobnailed soldiers’ shoes. And so instead of illusory dreams, we choose achievable goals as they are more ‘realistic’. And they are so real that we wake up one day and our dreams are long gone. Only sometimes we recall that we used to dream. And then we wonder for a moment if it is not too late to make out deep dream come true.’ The answer to this question is much easier after reading this book.

Now, stationed in the South Pacific on the U.S.S. Columbia, Grafton must teach the Marines aboard the art of flying from an aircraft carrier—a mission that, thanks to the unruly Marine Captain Le Beau, is as joyless as it is dangerous.

Book Synopsis The X-15 Rocket Plane by : Michelle Evans
Download or read book The X-15 Rocket Plane written by Michelle Evans and published by U of Nebraska Press. This book was released on 2020-04-01 with total page 632 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the Soviet Union's launch of the first Sputnik satellite in 1957, the Cold War soared to new heights as Americans feared losing the race into space. The X-15 Rocket Plane tells the enthralling yet little-known story of the hypersonic X-15, the winged rocket ship that met this challenge and opened the way into human-controlled spaceflight. Drawing on interviews with those who were there, Michelle Evans captures the drama and excitement of, yes, rocket science: how to handle the heat generated at speeds up to Mach 7, how to make a rocket propulsion system that could throttle, and how to safely reenter the atmosphere from space and make a precision landing. This book puts a human face on the feats of science and engineering that went into the X-15 program, many of them critical to the development of the Space Shuttle. And, finally, it introduces us to the largely unsung pilots of the X-15. By the time of the Apollo 11 moon landing, thirty-one American astronauts had flown into space--eight of them astronaut-pilots of the X-15. The X-15 Rocket Plane restores these pioneers, and the others who made it happen, to their rightful place in the history of spaceflight. Browse more spaceflight books at upinspace.org.

Book Synopsis On the Warpath in the Pacific by : Constance C. Reynolds
Download or read book On the Warpath in the Pacific written by Constance C. Reynolds and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2013-05-11 with total page 572 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When J.J. Clark graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy at the end of World War I he was ready to be a pioneer in one of the great transformations of the U.S. Navy in the twentieth century —the change from a surface-only force to one in which aviation played a key if not determinant role. Under the leadership of the key aviation admirals, William Moffett and John Towers, "Jocko" Clark with other aviation-minded officers battled low budgets and unsympathetic policy makers to champion the development of naval aviation during the 1920s and 30s. Pearl Harbor proved them right. As captain of the new Yorktown (the original was sunk at Midway), Clark provided aggressive leadership in the capture of the Gilbert and Marshall Islands. As a carrier task group commander, Clark was instrumental in the brilliant victory at the Battle of the Philippine Sea, which included the Marianas Turkey Shoot. He withstood numerous kamikaze attacks at Iwo Jima and Okinawa while seeing that Japan's airpower was destroyed. After the war he was instrumental in salvaging naval aviation from the attacks of other services and policy makers. During the Korean War he served as Commander Seventh Fleet in the all-important naval air support of that conflict. Naval historian Clark Reynolds is particularly well placed to write this book because he had access to family papers and was co-author of the Admiral Clark's autobiography.
