In early December 1940, Brad Harper, now a member of a jazz group, embarks on a steamship in Philadelphia for a two week working cruise, promising his family to be home for Christmas. When the ship docks in San Francisco, he unexpectedly encounters his uncle Jack, who is traveling to China to help operate a flying school. Jack tries to entice Brad into joining him, but Brad declines. However, while disembarking the ship, he meets a young doctor, Dorothy Lee Devereux (Dolly) and, like Jack, she is also traveling to the orient. It's love at first sight for both and Brad follows her to China. As luck would have it, both she and Jack are traveling to the same city. Arriving in Kunming, Brad's airmail experience puts him in good stead at the flying school and he soon becomes a flight instructor while Dolly works at Kunming General Hospital. With war looming, he is reluctantly drawn into Clare Chennault's Flying Tigers and becomes a squadron commander. As the war unfolds, he flies several missions against the Japanese, extracts vengeance when he murders a treacherous Chinese colonel, is involved in a midair collision, and faces courts-martial for a mercy killing. Soon after, he and Dolly marry, he is injured and they return home with an adopted daughter. Recovered, he is assigned to deliver aircraft to operational squadrons. On one such trip to England, he is Shanghaied into the Eight Air Force and detailed to a fighter squadron. On one mission he so distinguishes himself, he comes to the attention of General Doolittle, and is awarded a very high honor. Reluctant to return home, he convinces General Doolittle to allow him to remain in theater and is given positions of increasing responsibility. Meanwhile, his wife remains with his family in a small sea shore town to practice medicine. When the underworld attempts to take over the fishing industry, she is raped by gangsters. Before long an opportunity presents itself, and she extracts a brutal revenge. Discovered to have euthanized a patient, she finds others share her values. Returning home at war's end, circumstances have Brad departing the Newark, NJ airport in a P-51 fighter with no parachute.

To put it bluntly, they were called 'Thousand Arts'. "Qian" was a person who knew how to use a thousand techniques, and an organized group was known as the Qian Sect! As for me, I'm an idiot.

Download or read book The Way of the Hare written by Marianne Taylor and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-15 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An exploration of the relationship between humans and the charismatic and elusive hare. To the people of rural Britain, hares are deeply beloved, perhaps above all other animals. They thrive in abundance in imagery but can be maddeningly elusive in reality. In our stories – ancient and modern – they are magical, uncanny and illogical beings which commune with the moon, vanish at will, and lose their minds when spring arrives. Yet despite the breadth and depth of its legends, the brown hare of the lowlands is a relative newcomer to our islands, and our 'real' ancient hare is the mountain hare of the most unforgiving high mountainsides. Hares of myth have godly powers, but real, earthbound hares walk a dangerous line – they are small animals with many predators but have no burrow or tunnel to shelter them from danger. They survive by a combination of two skills honed to unimaginable extremes – hiding in plain sight, and running faster than anything and anyone. The need to excel as hiders and runners ultimately directs every aspect of hare biology and behaviour, as well as inspiring our own wild ideas about hare-kind. This book explores hares as they are and as we imagine them, and the long and often bloody history of our association with these enigmatic animals. Elegant studies of molecular biology and biomechanical physics help us understand how hares are put together, while centuries of game estate records reveal how humans have commodified and exploited them. But it is ultimately the moments spent in the company of wild hares that allow us to bring together myth and reality to celebrate the magic of the living animal.
