Blue Skies, Green Hell by Marilyn Lazzari-Wing Pdf

Blue Skies, Green Hell, a thriller written by a bush pilot’s wife, is a riveting tale set in the 1950s when pioneers of the sky flew single-engine aircraft over unforgiving wilderness and impenetrable jungle in Venezuela. Marilyn and Frank live in a place called the last frontier on the Orinoco River where he establishes a multi-aircraft service that flies supplies and medicine to remote and inaccessible communities. Together they challenge the odds and take the exhilaration of flying to new heights. Their world is fierce weather with no weather reports, aircraft with limited range radios, and planes with six basic instruments. A search and rescue effort ends when they make a forced landing in no man’s land. A flight to Miami turns sour as their twin-engine C-46 conks out over the Caribbean. Best friends die in fiery crashes. A stone age Indian appears where he shouldn’t be. This is drama from the cockpit of vintage aircraft.

Through Blue Skies to Hell by Edward M. Sion Pdf

A “surprisingly revealing” look at air combat, combining a WWII bombardier’s journal with a present-day perspective (Aviation News). This comprehensive look at air war over Europe during the climactic year of World War II combines firsthand experience with expert analysis. The centerpiece is a mission-by-mission diary of 1st Lt. Richard R. Ayesh, bombardier on a B-17 Flying Fortress, who flew with the 100th Bombardment Group, 13th Combat Wing of the 8th Air Force—the legendary “Bloody 100th.” He received the Distinguished Flying Cross, Croix de Guerre, and Air Medal with Four Oak Leaf Clusters, among others. This book follows Ayesh’s progress from his youth during the Great Depression in Wichita, Kansas, which was rapidly becoming the air capital of the nation, to his arrival in England as a lieutenant in a bomber crew assigned to assault the Third Reich. The author provides a look at the principles of American daylight strategic bombing, while relaying the overall military situation on the ground and in the air just after D-Day. Covering all aspects of air war in a clear, concise, yet nontechnical manner, the book covers such topics as photo-reconnaissance, munitions and bomb types, aircraft characteristics, fighter and bomber tactics, bomber formations, strategic target selection, radars, countermeasures and counter-counter measures. The unaltered diary of Lt. Ayesh is presented mission-by-mission, punctuated by tragedy and heroism, with explanations and commentary of the significance of events and actions described en route. The result is one of the most frank and exciting works on the air war over Europe to date. After Lt. Ayesh is followed on his perilous return home in U-boat infested waters, the book assesses the effectiveness of US strategy in ultimately paralyzing the Nazi war machine. Finally, the complex moral issues raised by area and city bombing are explored, with twenty-first century implications.

Green Hell by William J. Owens Pdf

This is the story of thousands of Melanesian, Australian, New Zealand, Japanese and American men who fought for a poor insignificant island in a faraway corner of the South Pacific Ocean. For the men who participated, the real battle was of man against jungle. This is the account of land, sea and air units covering the entire six-month battle-stories of ordinary privates and seamen, admirals and generals, who survived to claim the victory that was the turning point of the war in the Pacific.

Blue Sky Gone by J S Farmer Pdf

Audrey Moretti always knew she wanted to be a police officer, but she never expected it would take her on the most harrowing venture of her life-the search for her sister on September 11th, 2001... Audrey has made it to the final weeks of the police academy, and after five grueling months, she's solely focused on graduating. But on a quiet Tuesday morning, her life changes in an instant when she hears that an airplane has struck the World Trade Center. She knows her sister, Hannah, is in trouble; she can feel it. In a bold move, she risks all and finds herself at Ground Zero-a decision that will change her world forever. Hannah, a young Wall Street hopeful, works on the 84th floor in the South Tower of the World Trade Center. In the weeks leading up to the attacks of 9/11, everything is going right. Her career is taking off, and she unexpectedly finds true love in the city. When she witnesses from her office window the first plane strike the North Tower, nothing will ever be the same again. She follows her instinct to evacuate the South Tower, but will she escape the stairwell before the tower collapses...? Haunting questions remain for years after the tragedy, until a visit from a stranger and a handwritten note surface. Grief makes way for hope, in this deeply moving story of love, loss, strength, and courage, during a dark time in America's recent history. BLUE SKY GONE will take the reader on an emotional and powerful journey before, during, and after September 11th, 2001.
