The day on fire: A novel suggested by the life of Arthur Rimbaud (A Bantam seventy-five)3 reviews
James Ramsey Ullman
Bantam Books, 1961
BRILLIANCE THRU A GREEN HAZE OF ABSINTHE!!
I first read this while in college in the 50s. It burned a place in my memory. And have thought of it often. There are a lot of things that have escaped me about this book, except the deep feelings I have, when I think about'Day On Fire'! A mellow feeling which could come from the descriptions of the absinthe scenes. It was so real that one could almost feel and taste the lucent green fog that ...

Autobiography of a rocket plane pilot
Bill Bridgeman was the first man to fly at Mach 2 in the Douglas Skyrocket. This is a factual, exciting story, told by a humble, quiet hero.

Fantastic
This book is fantastic!!! Christopher Lynch has really captured the history of commercial and general aviation and the early pioneers who overcame challenges in reaching success. The numerous photos in the book are phenomenonal as well. It is obvious that the author must have spent endless hours researching facts and gathering photos.

Wind in the Wires (Flight, Its First Seventy-Five Years)4 reviews
Milne Duncan Grinnell
Arno Press, 1979
Wind In the Wires a Must Read for Fans of Early Aviation
This is a classic memoir of WWI flying from the early days until the end of the war, with a short gap in between. It is on a par with, or as I believe, better than the classic _Sagittarius Rising_ by Cecil Lewis. The author has an eye for detail, and an excellent self-deprecating sense of humor. He survived some truly amazing experiences. This is my favorite WWI flying book, and I highly ...

Eino Luukkanen
Arno Press, 1963
A first class narrative of the Finnish-Soviet air wars
I first read this book 15 years ago, intrigued by the cover. It tells the experiences of a fighter pilot and his unit during the two wars between Finland and the Soviet Union 1939-1945. It describes the incredible bravery and skill of the Finns, as they fought to preserve their independence from Stalin's empire - an endeavour in which they were largely successful. Despite being vastly outnumbered ...

Seventy-Five Gospel Favorites for Guitar1 review
Newel Kimball
Oxbow Publications, 2003
The Best Guitar Hymn/Instruction Book--EVER!!!
I purchased this book several years ago. Newel Kimball invented a unique music notation system that basically consists of a harmony grid diagram, like a chord diagram, for each beat of the music. Consequently, anyone can play these hymns using a chord-melody style that sounds fabulous. Even beginners with basic finger dexterity can play beautifully.
Some of the Hymns are particular to the LDS ...

James N. Hall
Ayer Co Pub, 1980
Great story set at the birth of flight
I read this book for my Aerospace Studies course. It is a wonderfull story of adventure in what for so many was a terrible war. The descriptions are particularly vivid and paint a miraculous picture of man learning to use aircraft in its infancy. Anyone who is intrested in modern airpower owes it to themself to pick up this book and see where it all started.

The Books of Miles, Westland, and Bristol aircraft (Flight, its first seventy-five years)1 review
Arno Press, 1980
Invaluable for detailed information on British aircraft.
"The Book of Westland Aircraft", by A.H. Lukins, was one of a series of books about British aircraft companies published in the 1940s by Harborough, the same company that published the magnificent "Aircraft of the Fighting Powers" series. Like those books, the Westland book features two pages about each aircraft type, one filled with specifications and history, and the other an accurate 1/72 ...
