Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the caveman gazed longingly at the winged creatures above him, mankind has been enamored with the idea of flight—of just taking off and soaring away. Steven A. Ruffin celebrates that spirit, that sense of wonder, with Aviation’s Most Wanted™: The Top 10 Book of Winged Wonders, Lucky Landings, and Other Aerial Oddities. With dozens of top-ten lists focusing on notable flights, memorable planes, famous and infamous aviators, aircraft combat, air travel—even space travel—and so much more, Ruffin provides a treasure trove of fun facts and amazing anecdotes celebrating the world’s love affair with flight, plus the hurt that accompanies any deep love. Will Rogers died in a plane crash near Point Barrow, Alaska, with aviation legend Wiley Post at the controls. Rogers was writing an article at the time of the crash; eerily, the last word he typed was “death.” Isoroku Yamamoto, who masterminded the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, met his fate in similarly sneaky fashion. U.S. forces intercepted and decoded information on Yamamoto’s travel plans and “Pearl Harbored” his plane, shooting it down into the island jungle of Bougainville. The safest seat in a crash depends on if you crash on takeoff or on landing—so flip a coin! You’ll read about the first and worst of flight, aces and races, and everything from crimes, sex, and controversy to planes so fast they can outrun the sun. With Aviation’s Most Wanted™ you’ll get the history of flight from the early balloon adventures of the eighteenth century until the present, laid out with trivia and tales to amuse and amaze!

This book was released on 2015-01-20 with total page 78 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Here I was with less than an hour of instruction, about to take off on my solo flight. There was nothing else to do. I was totally committed to success or disaster.” On February 17, 1933, Newsweek magazine published its very first issue. Thomas J.C. Martyn had envisioned a national weekly news magazine for a decade and had worked to accomplish that goal with the tireless zeal and dedication of a true entrepreneur. What kind of man has the vision, creativity and dedication to accomplish such a big dream? Aviation Adventures contains some answers to that question. Nineteen years earlier, when World War One broke out in 1914, Martyn was a bright eyed 18 year old, full of romantic and patriotic ideas. He joined the British Royal Air Corps, an elite fighting organization that garnered the respect of an entire nation. The air battles he participated in, the respect he earned from his commanding officers and fellow pilots and his behind-the-scenes contributions reveal the character of the man and journalist who would go on to found Newsweek. Aviation Adventures: The True Story of A Royal Air Corps Pilot Who Became Newsweek’s Founder is Martyn’s personal account of how he was able to wrangle a much coveted acceptance into the Royal Flying Corps. It then details the bombing raids and other contributions he made to the war effort. Written in the detailed and colorful language of the journalist Martyn was to become, Aviation Adventures provides an up close and personal look at one man’s World War One wartime experience.

He might have been born with better instincts, but his belief in The Golden Rule crumbled after the tragic death of his beautiful younger sister, Patricia Marie. Without her to serve as his moral compass, Salem has become increasingly skewed and misguided, concerned only with stroking his ego and acquiring worldly goods. This miserable and selfish power-monger, with his blatant disregard for the feelings and dignity of his fellow man, is in desperate need of salvation…but he doesn’t know it. Soon, he will be given the opportunity to choose whether he wants to be saved, or continue on the road to perdition. Extraordinary circumstances will intervene to present Salem with his final chance…will he reconsider his vile behavior to mankind, or will a new opportunity for exceptional profit draw him deeper into his vile life as an ego-driven business tycoon? He must choose carefully, for not even his boundless resources will allow him to circumvent his fate.
