Download or read book An Eagle s Odyssey written by Johannes Kaufmann and published by Pen and Sword. This book was released on 2019-05-30 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: ‘I realised that this brief but abortive sortie was to be the final mission of my Luftwaffe flying career.’ Johannes Kaufmann’s career was an exciting one. He may have been an ordinary Luftwaffe pilot, but he served during an extraordinary time, with distinction. Serving for a decade through both peacetime and wartime, his memoir sheds light on the immense pressures of the job. In this never-before-seen translation of a rare account of life in the Luftwaffe, Kaufmann takes the reader through his time in service, from his involvement in the annexation of the Rhineland, the attack on Poland, fighting against American heavy bombers in the Defence of the Reich campaign. He also covers his role in the battles of Arnhem and the Ardennes, and the D-Day landings, detailing the intricacies of military tactics, flying fighter planes and the challenges of war. His graphic descriptions of being hopelessly lost in thick cloud above the Alps, and of following a line of telegraph poles half-buried in deep snow while searching for a place to land on the Stalingrad front are proof that the enemy was not the only danger he had to face during his long flying career. Kaufmann saw out the war from the early beginnings of German expansion right through to surrender to the British in 1945. An Eagle’s Odyssey is a compelling and enlightening read, Kaufmann’s account offers a rarely heard perspective on one of the core experiences of the Second World War.
Download or read book A Victorian Naturalist s Odyssey written by Dr. Gilbert Clark and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-03-06 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This tale is of a scholarly man, whom I was privileged to know. He passed through the last decade of his life as I passed through my teens. He had seen the British Empire reach its zenith, a period when no value was placed on wild-life conservation. Big game hunting having been approved of in the highest echelons of society. Birds had suffered badly and amongst them in the UK was the Red Kite. By 1870 it had virtually been wiped out except for a few pairs in the fastnesses of rural Wales. Having entered Wales in 1891to joint the Botany Department of the University, Dr Salter heard of their parlous plight and in 1893 bent his shoulder to the wheel. All this gave scope for expanding a simple biography into the Life and Times of Dr Salter: hence the title Odyssey. It also allowed me to show how an interest in natural history can lead to the most unexpected places and into the company of people from all walks of life in both war and peace.

Download or read book One Small Town Boy written by Gerald A. Meehl and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2015-10-23 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This first-person account describes the vivid and compelling World War II experiences of Jack Goetz, who flew twenty-five missions with the 544th Squadron, 384th Bomb Group based at Grafton Underwood, England, in the early stages of the air war over Europe from mid-1943 to early 1944. During his combat tour, he flew on B-17 bombers over German-occupied Europe as a gunner. These were hazardous missions that resulted in high casualty rates among B-17 flight crews. Jack had his share of close calls, including a crash landing in a crippled bomber and a ditching in the English Channel, which resulted in the death of a close friend and crewmate. After completing his combat tour, he volunteered to be a member of the flight crew that took a group of combat correspondents to the Pacific to cover the end of the war in that theater. His B-17 was the second American aircraft to land in Japan just as the war ended, and he was among the first Americans to visit the atomic bomb-blasted city of Hiroshima.

Download or read book Penelope Bat written by Ken Renshaw and published by Constellation Press. This book was released on 2010-04-17 with total page 107 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This parable about bat is a classical hero's journey as described by Joseph Campbell. The heroine is a bat named Penelope, named after Ulysses' wife in the Odyssey. She lives comfortably but is plagued by a voice in her head that discourages her from taking any chances and forces her to concentrate on her "difference and otherness." A mysterious and mystical crow becomes her guardian and teaches her the secret of soaring flight, and leads her to Yosemite Valley. On her odyssey she encounters the Spirits of Rock, Water, Air and Fire. She learns from the voices of the elements that which gives her power to be "who she is to become." She learns courage, persistence, and commitment, understandings and actions that free her also to teach & lead others. Flight is the metaphor that makes the story soar. Ultimately this is a fable about overcoming self doubt and fulfilling one's potential. The playful interaction of the Greek elemental spirits of Rock, Water, Air and Fire are used to present a unique lesson in how the forces of nature nourish life and change among the creatures and plants and physical spaces of Yosemite.
