Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For anyone who has ever wondered what it's like to fly the SR-71 on a secret Mach 3 reconnaissance mission, this book has the answer. Completely redesigned and updated with photos from author Colonel Richard H. Graham's personal archive, as well as a new introduction, Flying the SR-71 Blackbird details what an SR-71 mission entailed, from planning to donning a pressure suit to returning to base. The Lockheed SR-71, unofficially known as the Blackbird, was an advanced, long-range, Mach 3 strategic reconnaissance aircraft developed by Lockheed Skunk Works. The aircraft flew so fast and high that not one was ever shot down, even by a missile.

Arguably the world's foremost expert on piloting the Blackbird, Graham takes readers along on an operational mission that only a few Air Force pilots have ever experienced.
Download or read book Flying With the Larks written by Timothy C. Brown and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2013-02-01 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1903 the Wright Brothers achieved their dream of powered flight and from then on man's domination of the skies became a reality. The military potential of aircraft was obvious from the outset, first as a way of spying on the enemy with reconnaissance planes and balloons armed with early cameras, and then as a way of taking the battle into the skies, as planes became weapons of war. In Britain these early days of military aviation were pioneered by a group of enthusiastic civilians and military men who were based at Lark Hill, Wiltshire where the rolling plains became ideal flying grounds. Here, the first military aviation base came into existence. Flying with the Larks charts its early days and its influence on First World War aviation.
Download or read book Flying with the Fifteenth Air Force written by Tom Faulkner and published by University of North Texas Press. This book was released on 2018-11-15 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1944 and 1945, Tom Faulkner was a B-24 pilot flying out of San Giovanni airfield in Italy as a member of the 15th Air Force of the U.S. Army Air Forces. Only 19 years old when he completed his 28th and last mission, Tom was one of the youngest bomber pilots to serve in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. Between September 1944 and the end of February 1945, he flew against targets in Hungary, Germany, Italy, Austria, and Yugoslavia. On Tom’s last mission against the marshalling yards at Augsburg, Germany, his plane was severely damaged, and he had to fly to Switzerland where he and his crew were interned. The 15th Air Force generally has been overshadowed by works on the 8th Air Force based in England. Faulkner’s memoir helps fill an important void by providing a first-hand account of a pilot and his crew during the waning months of the war, as well as a description of his experiences before his military service. David L. Snead has edited the memoir and provided annotations and corroboration for the various missions.

Download or read book Flying With Lindbergh written by Donald E. Keyhoe and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-06-28 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Originally published in 1928, this is a biography of Colonel Charles Lindbergh (1902-1974), an aviation pioneer and hero of the times. Nicknamed “Slim,” “Lucky Lindy,” and “The Lone Eagle,” Charles Augustus Lindbergh (1902-1974) emerged from virtual obscurity in 1927, at the age of 25, as a U.S. Air Mail pilot to instantaneous world fame as the result of his Orteig Prize-winning solo nonstop flight from Roosevelt Field on Long Island, New York, to Le Bourget Field in Paris, France. He flew the distance of nearly 3,600 statute miles (5,800 km) in a single-seat, single-engine, purpose-built Ryan monoplane, Spirit of St. Louis and became the 19th person to make a Transatlantic flight, the first being the Transatlantic flight of Alcock and Brown from Newfoundland in 1919; however, Lindbergh’s flight was almost twice the distance. The record-setting flight took 33 1⁄2 hours and resulted in Lindbergh, a U.S. Army Air Corps Reserve officer, being awarded the nation’s highest military decoration, the Medal of Honor, for his historic exploit. Considered one of the most admired figures of his time, author Donald E. Keyhoe presents a clear picture of the life and times of this fascinating man. This work will catapult the reader into a feeling of journeying across the country with Lindbergh himself.

Download or read book Flying with Broken Wings written by Dr. Robert Smith Jr. and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2016-01-15 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We live in a world of broken people burdened by the pain of unresolved conflicts, mourning unrealized dreams. It matters not if youre African American, Hispanic, a person of color from the Caribbean or elsewhere in the world, Asian, White, single, married, affluent, whether you live on a fixed income, reside in an upscale hamlet or community plagued by social and economic neglect. It matters not if you were raised by a single mother or father, or achieved academic success or failed to complete the tenth grade. So many brothers and sisters are among the walking wounded. Men and women tortured, traumatized by past and present events in their lives that have cast a dark shadow over their sense of internal security and healthy perspective on who they are as human beings. My thesis is this: every person, regardless of the circumstances of his or her life, has value and worth. Simply stated, you are somebody because of your uniqueness. Every human being has talents, special abilities, and temperament that benefit a community, family, or society. This book is not aimed specifically at faith communities, whether Christian, Jewish, or disciples of Islam, though on a visceral level, I hope my words touch brothers and sisters trying to fit into a group to lift their self-image, brothers and sisters who heard negativity in the voices of their childhood repeated ad nauseam: You are nothing. Youre not as smart as your brother or sister.
