Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Letters to Fritz By: Judy Constant Tyler In Letters to Fritz, Judy Constant Tyler has given us a story of love, loss, and more love as she shares letters written over a span of 20 years to her beloved cat, Fritz. Devastated by Fritz’s death, Judy sought to heal her grief by telling his story through her letters – and ended up writing a charming, funny, and heartbreaking memoir every cat lover will recognize and anyone who has ever loved a pet will relate to. Along the way we meet Fritz’s successors, Rascal, Tinker, Belle, and Amelia Belle, and meet Carl, Judy’s husband, soul mate, and love of her life. Judy has a wonderful way of describing the antics of her much-loved kitties, and the honest and heartfelt stories of her relationship with Carl bring warmth and depth to her story. Loss is a big part of her book, but so is her gratitude for a life filled with love. This is a book written from the heart of a woman known for her acts of kindness and generosity. Who knew she was also a lovely writer? I’m grateful she shared this book with me. Enjoy! -Meg Smith

Download or read book 100 Years of Civil Aviation written by Ben Skipper and published by Air World. This book was released on 2023-11-15 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An examination of civil aviation history from the end of World War I to the retiring of the Jumbo Jet. The book examines a century of civil aviation; in 1919 a fledgling industry was born out of civilianizing First World War bombers. The book covers the design and development of civil aircraft and all the personalities that shaped the industry; it features the hay-day of air travel before the advent of mass passenger transit, and the rise of smaller, austerity airlines. It covers the influence of military aircraft on civil planes, unpacks the laws that govern civil aviation and how they have changed over the past century. It chronicles air disasters, both mechanical and tyrannical, and for the first time, looks at the role of women in civil aviation. Playing its part in times of crisis, civil aviation has led rescue missions and covert operations; civilian pilots were often used to test and transport new aircraft from their manufacturers to the frontline, often unarmed and unescorted. The book ends with the quiet retirement of an icon, amid a global pandemic and what lies in store for a greener flying future.

Download or read book Aviation in Roanoke written by Marshall Harris and Nelson Harris and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1910, an awestruck crowd at the Roanoke Fair got its first glimpse of powered flight when a Curtiss biplane soared overhead. Within the next decade, gliders were lifting off from hills in South Roanoke and cow pastures were being converted into airstrips. Once Roanoke Municipal Airport was developed in 1929, earlier local airfields such as Cook, Trout, and Horton Fields were rendered inactive. Then in 1941, when--with federal assistance-- the municipal airport became Woodrum Field, the region's air travel transitioned into the modern era and brought services from major airlines to the area. Roanoke's aviation reputation continued to grow when the city played a critical role in military air travel and training during World War II, leading its airport to become one of the busiest on the East Coast. Aviation in Roanoke tells the stories of early airfields, the growth and transformation of Woodrum Field, and the adventures of Roanoke's aviation pioneers.
