Bomber combat crews faced a wide array of perils as they flew over German territory. Bursts of heavy flak could tear the wings from their planes in a split second. Flaming bullets from German fighter planes could explode their fuel tanks, cut their oxygen supplies, destroy their engines. Thousands of young men were shot, blown up, or thrown from their planes five miles above the earth; and even those who returned faced the subtler dangers of ice and fog as they tried to land their battered aircraft back home.The winter of 1944 was the most dangerous time to be a combat airman in RAF Bomber Command. The chances of surviving a tour were as low as one in five, and morale had finally hit rock bottom. In this comprehensive history of the air war that year, Kevin Wilson describes the most dangerous period of the Battle of Berlin, and the unparalleled losses over Magdeburg, Leipzig and Nuremberg.Men of Air reveals how these ordinary men coped with the extraordinary pressure of flying, the loss of their colleagues, and the threat of death or capture. Brilliantly placing these stories within the context of The Great Escape, D-Day, the defeat of the V1 menace, and more, Wilson shows how the sheer grit and determination of these "Men of Air" finally turned the tide against the Germans.

Glenn Curtiss (1878–1930) was a self-taught aeronautical engineer, a self-made industrialist, and one of the first airplane pilots, the model for “Tom Swift.” C. R. Roseberry’s biography begins with Curtiss’s years in Hammondsport, New York, his experiments with designing and learning to fly his own airplanes, and his many “firsts” in aviation history. Establishing one of the first aviation schools, Curtiss also developed a highly successful aviation company and designed one of the most popular early American planes—the Curtiss JN-4 (the “Jenny”). More than just a biography, this is also a well-documented history of the development of aviation and the key figures associated with it during the first three crucial decades of this century. Through an examination of Curtiss’s dealings with people such as Alexander Graham Bell, his original partner, and Wilbur and Orville Wright, his most important rivals, Roseberry provides insight into the overall development of flight in America. Aviation enthusiasts, historians, those interested in American technology and industry, and all who enjoy a good story will welcome this book.

Charlotte's mother, Myrtle Bond, lay dying from an overdose of morphine, administered in the hospital where she awaited gallbladder surgery. Her scheduled surgeon, unable to operate after a weekend of heavy drinking, shook uncontrollably. When death came, a grief-stricken Charlotte accepted the mortician's request to comb her mother's hair for burial and select the music for the service. Later, at the graveside, Charlotte felt the full impact of the future facing her: a seventeen-year-old's promise to "take care" of her siblings-Walter, age fifteen; Hubert, age eight; and Alberta, two and a half years of age. Was she able to handle such a responsibility? She had turned seventeen only two days before. Did she have the courage, even the know-how to face a life as a surrogate mother to her brothers and sister? She needed help. To whom could she turn? This is Charlotte's story.

"In my first Creative Thinking class with Dr. Schultz, he asked, "Why do women have to be creative thinkers?" My answer became the turning point in my life and the purpose behind my particular lifestyle." For a woman born in 1906, the idea of living a creative, vibrant lifestyle was almost unknown. But once Kathleen Nolan Walsh Keating was introduced to the then-emerging ideas of Creative Thinking, her own personal revolution began. Kathleen became not only a wife and mother, but also a teacher, writer, lecturer, painter and world traveler. At a time when other women were often living in quiet desperation, Kathleen was lecturing everyone from housewives to businessmen about the power of Creative Thinking. Now for the first time, these lectures are presented in Lady, Your Mind is Showing. The ideas presented in these lectures have been tested over 60 years not only by Kathleen, but by the thousands of people her teaching has touched. They are not just theories, they are concrete steps and actions that will lead to a more creative, more meaningful lifestyle. Kathleen's first concern was to present ideas that would invigorate women, especially women who felt unfulfilled in the role of homemaker. But she expands her ideas to present a system of brainstorming, creative problem solving and a way of thinking that can generate energy, ideas and solutions for anyone who puts them into practice. Create more joy in your life, identify solutions to difficult problems, find the motivation for those adventures you've been putting off. It's time for your own personal Creative Thinking revolution!
