Book excerpt: A history of 9 Group, Royal Air Force Fighter Command, formed specifically to protect Liverpool and Manchester during the darkest hours of WWII. In the early years of World War II, two of Britain’s most important industrial cities, Liverpool and Manchester, were woefully unprotected from enemy bombing raids. Once the capitulation of France had occurred after Dunkirk, the Luftwaffe was able to base its vast bomber fleet at forward airfields that brought these strategic targets within their range. The effect was catastrophic and the two cities and surrounding industrial centers bore the brunt of the Nazi airborne blitz. It was clear that more anti-aircraft guns and fighter aircraft were desperately required to stop the slaughter of the population and vital industries. Thus was conceived 9 Group of the Royal Air Force, charged with the air defense of the entire region. This book relates how the Group was formed and the immense difficulties involved—due to shortages of suitable aircraft, guns and operational infrastructure. Fought mostly at night during a period when night-fighter tactics were in their infancy and inexperienced aircrew were having to fly over difficult mountainous terrain and in appalling weather conditions resulting in a high casualty rate. Eventually things improved and the Squadrons within 9 Group started to bring down significant numbers of raiding bombers whether they approached from the East or took advantage of neutral Ireland’s street lights to guide them via the Irish Sea to their intended targets.
Download or read book I Close My Eyes in the Dark written by Denver E. Long BFA MA DPAKR and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2022-02-02 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: I Close My Eyes in the Dark is a collection of eclectic short stories, memories, one poem and other life thoughts. They are all about looking for the positive in every life situation. When we look, humor often presents itself. Each short story is a life experience that in some situations are dire. But a change in attitude changes everything and permits one to see the ‘up’ side of life. Sometimes the insight and awakening will seem absurd, sometimes profound. I’ve heard it said that one’s life is what one’s thoughts make it. I agreed and therefore live with the vision and if there is so much negative in life and in our experiences, then there must be an equal amount of positive. One cannot exist without the other. It is the heart that matters.
Download or read book Eyes in the Dust and Other Stories written by David Peak and published by Trepidatio Publishing. This book was released on 2021-04-02 with total page 159 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Phantom limbs, porous realities, and strange reflections shifting in black glass. The thirteen stories included in this decade-spanning collection explore how memory affects place and place memory, the traumas that haunt bodies like ghosts, and the desperation of needing to be seen and understood by others. Only in pulling back the bloody veil of this world may we be so blessed to see things as they really are—and not as we wish them to be. David Peak builds stories that are intricate structures, impossible monuments to human darkness. To read them is to feel something tap against a secret part of us, a hidden bone that refuses to be forgotten. —Nadia Bulkin, author of She Said Destroy David Peak writes like a black-winged emissary from the Void, and Eyes in the Dust and Other Stories is a travelogue behind the walls, beneath the surface, and through the worm-tunnels that pierce a dying world’s heart. From fever dreams and haunted houses to fissures in reality and the emptiness beyond, no one else captures the aspects of the abyss like David Peak. —Gordon B. White, author of As Summer’s Mask Slips and Other Disruptions

Book excerpt: A Book of Wonders for Grown-Up Readers Every once in a great while a book comes along that reminds us of the magic spell that stories can cast over us–to dazzle, entertain, and enlighten. Welcome to the Arabian Nights for our time–a lush and fantastical epic guaranteed to spirit you away from the very first page . . . Secreted away in a garden, a lonely girl spins stories to warm a curious prince: peculiar feats and unspeakable fates that loop through each other and back again to meet in the tapestry of her voice. Inked on her eyelids, each twisting, tattooed tale is a piece in the puzzle of the girl’s own hidden history. And what tales she tells!

From ill-tempered “mermaid” to fastidious Beast, nothing is ever quite what it seems in these ever-shifting tales–even, and especially, their teller.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tao is the name for that which cannot be named, a name for the nameless – just like god or dhamma or truth or logos. These are not really names, but human helplessness. We have to call it something, we have to address it. Tao is one of the most beautiful names given to the unknown, because it is utterly meaningless. God has become very meaningful, hence it has lost significance.

Book excerpt: Nawal El Saadawi has been pilloried, censored, imprisoned and exiled for her refusal to accept the oppressions imposed on women by gender and class. In her life and in her writings, this struggle against sexual discrimination has always been linked to a struggle against all forms of oppression: religious, racial, colonial and neo-colonial. In 1969, she published her first work of non-fiction, Women and Sex ; in 1972, her writings and her struggles led to her dismissal from her job. From then on there was no respite; imprisonment under Sadat in 1981 was the culmination of the long war she had fought for Egyptian women's social and intellectual freedom. A Daughter of Isis is the autobiography of this extraordinary woman.
