Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Get as close as you’ll get to a World War II–era P-51 Mustang without flying one yourself with this spellbinding collection of tales from the men who actually flew the planes into war.The North American Aviation P-51 Mustang first started appearing in real numbers in 1943, at the climax of the Allied campaign in World War II. Able to fly long ranges, it was the perfect escort, keeping bombers protected all the way from Allied bases in Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Pacific to a variety of Axis industrial targets and military installations and back. The Mustang would go on to provide pivotal air support on D-Day, and by the end of the war, the P-51 would be responsible for nearly half of all enemy aircraft shot down.In The Fight in the Clouds, aviation writer and EAA Warbirds of America editor James P. Busha draws on interviews conducted with dozens of veteran P-51 pilots to trace the progress of war through the men’s exciting, chronologically organized experiences. You’ll encounter: ·Mustangs tangling with Soviet-built Yaks ·A Mustang ace shooting down an Me 262 Stormbird ·An epic long-range battle over the Pacific Ocean ·And a score of other riveting accounts underscoring the P-51’s versatility and its vital importance to the Allied victoryBolstered by Busha’s own commentary and historical analysis, along with a gallery of rare black-and-white period photographs, The Fight in the Clouds offers a cockpit-seat view of one of WWII’s most celebrated aircraft and the men who bravely flew it into harm’s way.

Download or read book Nothing but the Clouds Unchanged written by Gordon Hughes and published by Getty Publications. This book was released on 2014-11-25 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much of how World War I is understood today is rooted in the artistic depictions of the brutal violence and considerable destruction that marked the conflict. Nothing but the Clouds Unchanged examines how the physical and psychological devastation of the war altered the course of twentieth-century artistic Modernism. Following the lives and works of fourteen artists before, during, and after the war, this book demonstrates how the conflict and the resulting trauma actively shaped artistic production. Featured artists include Georges Braque, Carlo Carrà, Otto Dix, Max Ernst, George Grosz, Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Oskar Kokoschka, Käthe Kollwitz, Fernand Léger, Wyndham Lewis, André Masson, László Moholy-Nagy, Paul Nash, and Oskar Schlemmer. Materials from the Getty Research Institute’s special collections—including letters, popular journals, posters, sketches, propaganda, books, and photographs—situate the works of the artists within the historical context, both personal and cultural, in which they were created. The volume accompanies a related exhibition on view at the Getty Research Institute Gallery from November 25, 2014, to April 19, 2015.

Download or read book The Romance of War or The Highlanders in France and Belgium A Sequel to the Highlanders in Spain written by James Grant and published by Good Press. This book was released on 2021-05-20 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work follows the experiences of a young Scottish Highlander, Ronald Stuart, who enters the 92nd regiment of foot, the Gordon Highlanders as an ensign. He joins the division in Spain soon after and stays with Gordons for the rest of the Napoleonic Wars. The plot contains several amusing adventures of Stuart that include rescuing half of the noble ladies of Spain, dealing with problematic prisoners of the war, and trying to escape from his rival. Although the story is based on the Peninsular war, it is much more than a retelling of it from Stuart's perspective. Following a sentimental tone, Grant writes with energy, passion, and authority about his native country and its inhabitants. Grant's portrayal of Spain and Spaniards makes it more attractive as he presents such a balanced account of the Spanish people in the Peninsular War that not many British authors could during that time.
