Download or read book The Friday Pilots written by Don Shepperd and published by Author House. This book was released on 2014 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a book of first-person stories written by old pilots, those who flew the old airplanes in the old air force. These are personal stories of growing up in a different America, their lives before political correctness, back when airplanes were dangerous but flying was fun. The group calls themselves the Friday Pilots. They gather at McMahon's Prime Steakhouse in Tucson, Arizona, every Friday for lunch. There are those who finished careers as generals and colonels and majors and captains and even first lieutenants. They laugh. They exchange stories, some true. They have become legends in their own minds. There are fighter pilots, bomber pilots, airline pilots, corporate pilots, and astronauts. They have run large companies and been on boards. They have been rich and they have been poor. They have landed gear up and gear down. They have ridden huge rockets into space. They have crashed and burned. They have been to war. They have been blown from the skies, have run through jungles, and have parachuted into oceans. They have been captured and imprisoned as POWs and horribly tortured. There are heroes at the table, but none will admit it. They will tell you they have flown with those who were. It seems everyone talks about writing a book. The Friday Pilots have done something few do: they have written their stories for their families and friends. Strap in, hold on, and enjoy the ride!

Book Synopsis The Great Muckrock and Rosie by : Ross C. Detwiler
Download or read book The Great Muckrock and Rosie written by Ross C. Detwiler and published by Abbott Press. This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 255 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most of America experienced the Vietnam War only in the form that was delivered in the evening news. The actual fighting and sacrifices in that far off jungle were borne, as is still true to this day, by a miniscule fraction of the population and their families. There are plenty of history books and scholars that break the war down into miniature, bite-sized chunks of history, politics, science, and statistics. The Great Muckrock and Rosie, however, isn't about accounting for the war. It is about the fighter pilots who fought that war in the air. Fly with the men who gave their all in support their fellow troops on the ground in South Vietnam. Fly with them also as they leave the South and enter North Vietnam and Laos in an effort to dam the flow of supplies arriving through the wide open harbor at Haiphong. They pushed on, mission after mission, completing their assigned tasks for sake of doing what they thought was right. Also meet the women in their lives. Some were adoring wives that waited at home, with little children, for dad to return. Some were single, unattached, and looking for the spice in life that a fighter pilot on leave could provide.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Montgomery and Ashton St. John are a money-making machine. And, except for the persistent interference of the government, enjoy the spoils of wealth instead of the pursuits of the working class from which they come. But, when "Monty" pursues his own peculiar brand of acquisition, life gets complicated for both of them. Half-way around the world, is a man unlike any they've ever seen. Slaughter Youngblood is a gentleman, a product of isolation and aristocratic upbringing, a throwback to a time when honor and discipline defined a man, who has the misfortune of owning the St. John Islands---land that Monty covets like a starving dog covets red meat. What begins as just another business deal, sets off a chain reaction of violence, revenge, and redemption.
Book Synopsis Doctor Mom Chung of the Fair-Haired Bastards by : Judy Tzu-Chun Wu

This book was released on 2005-02-28 with total page 315 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During World War II, Mom Chung's was the place to be in San Francisco. Soldiers, movie stars, and politicians gathered at her home to socialize, to show their dedication to the Allied cause, and to express their affection for Dr. Margaret Chung (1889-1959). The first known American-born Chinese female physician, Chung established one of the first Western medical clinics in San Francisco's Chinatown in the 1920s. She also became a prominent celebrity and behind-the-scenes political broker during World War II. Chung gained national fame when she began "adopting" thousands of soldiers, sailors, and flyboys, including Ronald Reagan, Admiral Chester W. Nimitz, and Admiral William F. Halsey, Jr. A pioneer in both professional and political realms, Chung experimented in her personal life as well. She adopted masculine dress and had romantic relationships with other women, such as writer Elsa Gidlow and entertainer Sophie Tucker. This is the first biography to explore Margaret Chung's remarkable and complex life. It brings alive the bohemian and queer social milieus of Hollywood and San Francisco as well as the wartime celebrity community Chung cultivated. Her life affords a rare glimpse into the possibilities of traversing racial, gender, and sexual boundaries of American society from the late Victorian era through the early Cold War period.

Book excerpt: A historical look at and current guide to the Cains River in New Brunswick. There is almost a mystical aura surrounding the Cains and its Atlantic salmon and brook trout fishery. Only about a third of it was ever settled and then lightly, and by the middle of the twentieth century settlers had all given up and the river reverted to completely wild, which it still is today. The book also explores the Cains’s relationship with the Miramichi River, in particular the Black Brook, the biggest and most productive pool on the river. In low water, a substantial portion of the Cains’s fall run of fish stacks up there waiting for rain.

Download or read book Honour Bound written by Tanya Kelly and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2010-08-31 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aimee Carruthers is unprepared for the violent nature of the man before her. His cunning to attack her so brazenly is frightening but it hardly compares to the self-possession she can see on his face. It’s clear to her that he is unafraid and completely intent on doing her harm like he had his three other victims. Honour Bound, a romance/action novel, is set in the fictional city of Port Divine on the east coast of Australia. The tough, smart mouthed, stubborn heroine is Aimee Carruthers, a Senior Constable with the Port Divine Police. Her life as a cop began five years ago, when she requested Port Divine as her training ground, an area the rest of her fellow probationary constables had retreated from with a hint of disgust and a large dose of fear. Aimee has a point to prove. Port Divine is a tough city, riddled with drugs, prostitution, organised crime and delinquents. Aimee lives and breathes the life of a cop and so far she’s had a somewhat turbulent but successful career. She’s self sufficient. She doesn’t need anyone looking out for her - especially not Tactical Response Group Officer Xavier Symonds. Aimee is drawn into an impossible situation when her life is threatened by a fellow officer, an officer she respected. An officer she has worked with for the past five years. Aimee faces the brutal truth about her vulnerability as a cop and as a living breathing human being. No one has ever succeeded in doing that before now unless she considered Xavier Symonds and the vulnerability he made her feel as a woman. Forces come together to find a way to combat the enemy. To keep Aimee out of harm’s way. She refuses to go home to her family. She’s a Port Divine Police Officer, something she takes great pride in. She isn’t about to let some turncoat officer tarnish the name of the Port Divine Police, or the reputation of the honourable officers that put their lives on the line every day. She’s adamant she’s staying, regardless that her life remains in danger. But relying on others to keep her safe doesn’t come easily. As much as she wants to believe she can live her life alone and protect herself, having Xavier by her side without question has her thinking that life without him wasn’t going to cut it. Facing the traitor who wants her dead Aimee relies on her instincts, drawing on her courage, and her reserves of strength to get her through. It’s not the only time she’ll need them. She has something to share with Xavier, something she didn’t know she so dearly wanted until now.
Book Synopsis The Grey Bastards by : Jonathan French
Download or read book The Grey Bastards written by Jonathan French and published by Crown. This book was released on 2019-03-19 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “[A] fantasy masterwork . . . a dirty, blood-soaked gem of a novel [that reads] like Mad Max set in Tolkien’s Middle-earth.”—Kirkus Reviews (starred review) Jackal and his fellow half-orcs patrol the barren wastes of the Lot Lands, spilling their own damned blood to keep civilized folk safe. A rabble of hard-talking, hog-riding, whore-mongering brawlers they may be, but the Grey Bastards are Jackal’s sworn brothers, fighting at his side in a land where there’s no room for softness. And once Jackal’s in charge—as soon as he can unseat the Bastards’ tyrannical, seemingly unkillable founder—there’s a few things they’ll do different. Better. Or at least, that’s the plan. Until the fallout from a deadly showdown makes Jackal start investigating the Lot Lands for himself. Soon, he’s wondering if his feelings have blinded him to ugly truths about this world, and the Bastards’ place in it. In a quest for answers that takes him from decaying dungeons to the frontlines of an ancient feud, Jackal finds himself battling invading orcs, rampaging centaurs, and grubby human conspiracies alike—along with a host of dark magics so terrifying they’d give even the heartiest Bastard pause. Finally, Jackal must ride to confront a threat that’s lain in wait for generations, even as he wonders whether the Bastards can—or should--survive. Delivered with a generous wink to Sons of Anarchy, featuring sneaky-smart worldbuilding and gobs of fearsomely foul-mouthed charm, The Grey Bastards is a grimy, pulpy, masterpiece—and a raunchy, swaggering, cunningly clever adventure that’s like nothing you’ve read before. Praise for The Grey Bastards “Saddle up the war boar and set off on a wild, gory thrill-ride that ends in an awesome climax and begs for a sequel.”—Daily Mail (UK) “Non-stop action, though not for faint hearts . . . the Grey Bastards live up to their name in all respects.”—The Wall Street Journal
