Download or read book The African Bush Pilot written by Cecil Mullins and published by . This book was released on 2012-03-25 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The African-Bush Pilot The debut autobiography by Cecil Mullins is an auspicious success from the very first page to the last. He tells the breathtaking odyssey of his life from a small town Southwest Virginia boy to a well known, highly regarded pilot who flies the aircraft he dreamt of as a young man. His writing style is fast paced, graphic and often gritty with an occasional side bar of humor and ribald commentary about the fairer sex he encounters during his highly charged, adventurous career as a "Bush Pilot" and his unpredictable forays with non-scheduled airlines. The book is a must read. The reader will feel as if he is in the cockpit with the "Bush Pilot" as the fights the elements, warfare, mechanical and equipment problems and violent weather. It is a great book...you will not want to put it down. Go out and get a copy and experience the thrill of what you find as you turn the next page...and the next. Reaching the pinnacle of his career by surviving unbelievable mechanical failures and mishaps, violent weather, flying into African civil wars and revolutions in the dead of night to evade missiles and gunfire were but a part of the life he chose to live. He survived and prospered by his intellect, courage and unparalleled skill as a top flight mechanic, flight engineer, co-pilot and finally pilot and Captain of his own craft.

Download or read book A 10s Over Kosovo written by Phil M. Haun and published by www.Militarybookshop.CompanyUK. This book was released on 2011 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2003. The NATO-led Operation Allied Force was fought in 1999 to stop Serb atrocities against ethnic Albanians in Kosovo. This war, as noted by the distinguished military historian John Keegan, "marked a real turning point . . . and proved that a war can be won by airpower alone." Colonels Haave and Haun have organized firsthand accounts of some of the people who provided that airpower-the members of the 40th Expeditionary Operations Group. Their descriptions-a new wingman's first combat sortie, a support officer's view of a fighter squadron relocation during combat, and a Sandy's leadership in finding and rescuing a downed F-117 pilot-provide the reader with a legitimate insight into an air war at the tactical level and the airpower that helped convince the Serbian president, Slobodan Milosevic, to capitulate.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Police Inspector Gaskin was bothered him terribly that he couldn’t get a grip on the perpetrators of a series of brutal jewelry thefts. The gang that planned these crimes was so sophisticated that the police didn't stand a chance, because no trace was left behind. Finally, however, although he could not prove it, the inspector became convinced that the gang was operating on a plane. And that made him decide to enlist Major Bigglesworth, in order to fight the unknown and invisible enemy, as it were, with his own weapons.
Of course that was right up the alley of Biggles and his men. Biggles, with his vast experience fighting the underworld, thought he could afford a stunt... by offering his services as a pilot for the gang. He was quickly accepted into his job as a jewel thief. But it was only when it was too late that he discovered that he had completely underestimated the leader of the gang and that his hubris had made him no longer the hunter, but ‘the hare’...
