Download or read book No Surrender written by Hiroo Onoda and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 226 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the spring of 1974, Second Lieutenant Hiroo Onoda of the Japanese army made world headlines when he emerged from the Philippine jungle after a thirty-year ordeal. Hunted in turn by American troops, the Philippine police, hostile islanders, and successive Japanese search parties, Onoda had skillfully outmaneuvered all his pursuers, convinced that World War II was still being fought and that one day his fellow soldiers would return victorious. This account of those years is an epic tale of the will to survive that offers a rare glimpse of man's invincible spirit, resourcefulness, and ingenuity. A hero to his people, Onoda wrote down his experiences soon after his return to civilization. This book was translated into English the following year and has enjoyed an approving audience ever since.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Among the world's military air arms, United States Marine Corps Aviation occupies a unique tactical niche. As the air component of a combined-arms expeditionary force, it exists primarily to support Marine combat forces on the ground in their amphibious assault mission. From the "Banana Wars" of the 1920s to the present day "War on Terror," Marine aviation has undergone a lengthy fine-tuning process not only in terms of warfare doctrines and tactics, but also in the types of aircraft needed to accomplish the mission. This comprehensive survey provides the history, technical specifications, drawings, and photographs of every type of fixed and rotary-wing aircraft used by Marine Air from its origins prior to World War I up to current operations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The saga of a young platoon sergeant in the Marine Corps wounded on Iwo Jima and hospitalized on Guam. Although still in the hospital, he gets involved with a navy nurse and is busted and shanghaied out of his outfit. Then he is reassigned as a jeep driver in the Headquarters Battalion, Third Corps, U.S. Marines. The battalion is part of the advance group assigned to go to Tientsin to deal with the repatriation of the Japanese troops stationed there and in Manchuria. On arriving in Tientsin, China, with that advance group, he is assigned as driver for a British female working with the U.S. OSS office in Tientsin, with whom he falls in love with despite clumsy mistakes. She finally responds but refuses to consider marriage. In addition to the Japanese who have controlled the North China area and are being repatriated under marine supervision, Tientsin is the last safe haven for the “white Russians” who had fled from Communist Russia. In addition, the Italians still maintain a “Concession area,” as have the French, who still maintained a garrison in Tientsin but whose troops are being sent to suppress the rebellion in French Indochina. On returning to the United States, he gets out of the Marine Corps. Not having graduated from high school, he takes the college entrance exams and is admitted to college. With help from a tutor, whom he resents and doesn’t care for, he does well. After graduating and getting involved in home constructions, he finds his “tutor” is now the secretary to the banker whom he wishes to borrow money from. She is grudgingly forgiving, and they finally marry, have three children but she dies of cancer at an early age. Lonely, he travels, including returning to China, and then went a trip to Canada where he meets the British “sweetheart” once again.

Download or read book The Early Shortwave Stations written by Jerome S. Berg and published by McFarland. This book was released on 2013-10-04 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In July 1923, less than three years after Westinghouse station KDKA signed on, company engineer Frank Conrad began regular simulcasting of its programs on a frequency in the newly-discovered shortwave range. It was an important event in a technological revolution that would make dependable worldwide radio communication possible for the first time. In subsequent years, countless stations in practically all countries followed suit, taking to shortwave to extend reception domestically or reach audiences thousands of miles away. Shortwave broadcasting would also have an important role in World War II and in the Cold War. In this, his fourth book on shortwave broadcast history, the author revisits the period of his earlier work, On the Short Waves, 1923-1945, and focuses on the stations that were on the air in those early days. The year-by-year account chronicles the birth and operation of the large international broadcasters, as well as the numerous smaller stations that were a great attraction to the DXers, or long-distance radio enthusiasts, of the time. With more than 100 illustrations and extensive notes, bibliography and index, the book is also a valuable starting point for further study and research.
