Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The action-packed story of the WWII aviators known as the “362nd Suicide Outfit,” including 150 photographs. During World War II, the Ninth Air Force comprised air-to-ground aviators, charged with destroying the enemy close to the front and below the clouds, often bringing them face-to-face with their German opponents. The 362nd Fighter Group, led by two very different leaders—the tough disciplinarian Col. Morton Magoffin and later the beloved motivator Col. Joe Laughlin—had one of the best track records in the Ninth Air Force. It destroyed over 5,000 trucks, 350 tanks, 275 artillery pieces, 45 barges, and 600 locomotives. But this score came at a cost, as over the course of fifteen months of combat in 1944 and 1945, more than seventy pilots were killed in action; in June 1944 alone, thirty of their P-47 Thunderbolts were lost. The other groups jokingly referred to them as the “362nd Suicide Outfit.” Thunderbolts Triumphant provides a narrative history of the group and gives a glimpse at the fascinating men who flew these missions and maintained the aircraft as they navigated Europe. Starting with the D-Day invasion, the group was the aerial artillery support for US ground forces, first in Normandy, then in reducing the defenses around Brest, then in supporting the US Third Army as it drove across France and Germany. Special emphasis is given to its most spectacular missions, such as the breaching of the Dieuze Dam and its incredible performance during the Battle of the Bulge, where it demolished much of the Sixth Panzer Army as it tried to escape eastward. Illustrated with 150 black and white photographs and twenty-four color aircraft profiles, this is a fascinating and detailed history of a group that played a significant part in winning the air war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: School topper got converted into a college 'backbencher' due to the shift from cozy Tamil to classic English medium and two years discontinuation of studies filled with juggling of various jobs ranging from coffee gardens labourer to supervisor... but excelled in theatre, creative writing, learning languages, sketching, sports and games. Having profound wisdom of 'Why do they do What do they do', as a teacher, I tried to metamorphose many deadly caterpillars into breath-taking butterflies. My forte is the domain of juvenile delinquents- I call these ‘careless’ rather ‘cared less’ youngsters affectionately ‘The Thunderbolts’. Honestly speaking, I adamantly tried to tread upon the untrodden paths and ventured to encounter challenges… all to harvest the nectar, be it from bee-hive or from the hornet’s nest and to create perfect humans from the clay lumps and thunderbolts alike. During this ongoing ordeal of wife's prolonged silent suffering- sudden lonely death and my own tryst with deadly corona-forced solitary confinement thereafter, I'm able to forge ahead with fortitude only because of the continuous moral support and sincere prayers of my beloved 'Thunderbolts' from around the world.

Download or read book Christianity and the Triumph of Humor written by Bernard Schweizer and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2019-07-17 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book traces the development of religious comedy and leverages that history to justify today’s uses of religious humor in all of its manifestations, including irreverent jokes. It argues that regulating humor is futile and counterproductive, illustrating this point with a host of comedic examples. Humor is a powerful rhetorical tool for those who advocate and for those who satirize religious ideals. The book presents a compelling argument about the centrality of humor to the story of Western Christianity’s cultural and artistic development since the Middle Ages, taking a multi-disciplinary approach that combines literary criticism, religious studies, philosophy, theology, and social science. After laying out the conceptual framework in Part 1, Part 2 analyzes key works of religious comedy across the ages from Dante to the present, and it samples the breadth of contemporary religious humor from Brad Stine to Robin Williams, and from Monty Python to South Park. Using critical, historical, and conceptual lenses, the book exposes and overturns past attempts by church authorities, scholars, and commentators to limit and control laughter based on religious, ideological, or moral criteria. This is a unique look into the role of humor and comedy around religion. It will, therefore, appeal to readers interested in multiple fields of inquiry, including religious studies, humor studies, the history of ideas, and comparative literature.

Download or read book Triumph Trident and BSA Rocket 3 written by Peter Henshaw and published by The Crowood Press. This book was released on 2021-11-22 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 3-cylinder Triumph Trident and BSA Rocket 3 were developed to compete with Honda's forthcoming 750cc motorcycle. Initially they did not compare well – although very fast, they lacked sophistication and their quirky styling was offputting – and the decision was made to suspend production. This was not the most auspicious start, but a fightback was initiated and in 1971 the factory race team had a triumphant year including placing 1st, 2nd and 3rd at the Daytona 200. With over 250 photographs, the full rollercoaster-ride history of these bikes is described, including: how the bikes came to be, including a timeline of significant events; a year-by-year account of the evolution of the bikes, through the T150, T160 and Rocket 3; the story of the Hurricane; the full racing history and, finally, the Triumph 3-cylinder bikes today.
