Book Description
Colin Powell once observed that "a dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination, and hard work." This sentiment is mirrored dramatically in the story of African Americans in aerospace history. The invention of the airplane in the first decade of the twentieth century sparked a revolution in modern technology. Aviation in the popular mind became associated with adventure and heroism. For African Americans, however, this new realm of human flight remained off-limits, a consequence of racial discrimination. Many African Americans displayed a keen interest in the new air age, but found themselves routinely barred from gaining training as pilots or mechanics. Beginning in the 1920s, a small and widely scattered group of black air enthusiasts challenged this prevailing pattern of racial discrimination. With no small amount of effort—and against formidable odds—they gained their pilot licenses and acquired the technical skills to become aircraft mechanics. Over the course of the twentieth century and into the twenty-first, African Americans have expanded their participation in both military and civilian aviation and space flight, from the early pioneers and barnstormers through the Tuskegee airmen to Shuttle astronauts. Featuring approximately two hundred historic and contemporary photographs and a lively narrative that spans eight decades of U.S. history, Black Wings offers a compelling overview of this extraordinary and inspiring saga.

Book Description
Since his first visit more than fifty years ago, author Graham Hutt has sailed the coastline of North Africa extensively in a number of yachts, from a 29ft Stella to a 65ft schooner. His infectious enthusiasm for the Arab countries of the Mahgreb helped to open the region to cruising sailors, and it is again becoming popular as a destination outside of Europe. Di Stoddard has worked with Graham to update this fifth edition. This comprehensive guide provides detailed information on marinas, harbours and anchorages as well as introductory sections covering topics specific to the area, including the modernised formalities in most ports. In several locations new harbours have opened and facilities have markedly improved. Familiar Imray cartography is included throughout- harbour plans have been updated and extended to reflect changes, and many new photographs are included to assist navigation and inform the reader about this most beguiling region. Whether overwintering or on passage across the Mediterranean or down the Atlantic coast, North Africa is an essential cruising companion
