Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aviation grew from a pioneering and experimental group into an industry in the Golden Era of aviation in the 1930s providing commercial passenger service worldwide. Two aviation pioneers had a role in this development. While Igor Sikorsky is primarily known for his development of the helicopter, he was a leading designer of amphibian aircraft before that. These flying boats established passenger travel by air, first through the Caribbean, then South America, and ultimately the Pacific. Charles Lindbergh found his central role in transforming aviation from a barnstorming stunt into an industry through his epic solo flight across the Atlantic. As a consultant to Pan America, he charted international commercial routes for Juan Trippe's Airline. For the decade of 1930s, these two brilliant minds interacted to create an aircraft industry. This is their story, how they interacted and how they helped shape aviation history.

Download or read book Lindbergh written by Von Hardesty and published by Houghton Mifflin. This book was released on 2002 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charles Lindbergh captured the world's imagination with his solo flight from New York to Paris in 1927. A charming, handsome man, he gained instant international fame, but celebrity brought with it a tremendous burden. After his marriage, the press hounded the newlyweds. When his baby was kidnapped and later found dead, the press became insatiable. The Lindberghs retreated but could not escape the arising murmurings of Nazi sympathies, which would dog Lindberg until his death. This comprehensive book features over 250 never-before-published black-and-white and colour artifacts and illustrations as well as a gatefold illustration that reconstructs the Spirit of St. Louis and a map-timeline of Lindbergh's famous flight.

Book excerpt: Why Quatro? It is pretty simple. Quatro means “four,” and this book contains four novellas. These four works are not related to one another in any possible way except for the fact they were all written by the same author. They all have distinct characters with diverse personalities. Where each story takes place is unique. They are all of varying lengths, and not surprisingly, they all have individual titles, so it does not matter in which order you read them. ***** “15 Minutes to Live.” Five chapters, five dissimilar people, five separate locations, five different times. All with one thing in common: they all have only fifteen minutes to live! “Hamden Notch.” A sleepy little town with a grisly little secret. “HouseBeat.” There’s no place like home—except if the home doesn’t want you there! “Crust Heaven.” Travel back in time before computers, before cell phones, even before most homes had televisions. Back when life was simpler, especially when viewed through the eyes of a nine-year-old boy.

Book excerpt: House Beat. There's no place like home--except if the house doesn't want you there! A Connecticut family living in a small apartment in Oaks, Pennsylvania, moves into an old semi-colonial house in Royersford, PA., needing a tremendous amount of work located about ten miles from King of Prussia. The Monahan family, Elizabeth, Kyle, and their children, Eleanor and Henry. This is the story of how their lives changed. From the outside, the house is very old-looking. The exterior is terrible, but nothing a little paint or siding won't take care of. The roof needs to be replaced. "I think I may have found a house for us!" Kyle says. "It has a nice piece of level property. A bit overgrown with brush, but that's easily cleaned up. When I saw the asking price, I had to take a drive-by. The house needs work--a fixer-upper, but it is more than three times the size of this place. What caught my eye was the price. We have almost enough put aside to buy it outright." The realtor unlocks the door. The hinges creak. "Creepy!" Henry stammers. The agent only goes as far as the door. She has an apprehensive look on her face and goes no farther into the house. The house has the usual problems any building built before the Civil War has; noisy pipes, creaky stairs, but they are soon to find out-- There is much more!
Download or read book Crust Heaven written by Vincent Tanner and published by Page Publishing Inc. This book was released on 2022-05-31 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Crust Heaven—a strange name. Crust Heaven is a retrospect, looking back from an adult’s perspective to a nine-year-old’s visions of the world surrounding him. Travel back in your mind to a time before computers, before cell phones, even before most homes had televisions. Back when life was simpler. My grandson Joey had just turned nine years old. One day he said to me, “You know, Papa…. You cook so good you should open up a restaurant!” “I would if I could,” I told him. “You could call it Crust Heaven,” he stated. I have no idea where or how he came up with that name, but it stuck in my mind, so I started to write this story. I only wrote down the first chapter. After that, it just sat there. That was almost twenty years ago. I resurrected the story, but going back in time to the early fifties, to a simpler life when I was growing up. I used my grandson Joey as the main character, basing much of the story on things he did and said as he was growing up. Other happenings and characters are fashioned after things the kids and I did that I grew up with. All the things that happen in this story are centered on real-life experiences. My life’s experiences blended in with Joey’s. There’s very little fiction in this story—most of it happened at one time or another. I am offering you the chance to live and grow up around Crust Heaven, and if you’re a baby boomer like me, you might get a few laughs. One of the many people who do proofreading for me and who grew up at the same time as I did wrote to me after reading the first drafts and said— “Thanks for the memories.”
