Universal Terrors, 1951-1955
Author: Tom Weaver
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 078643614X
Category : Performing Arts
Languages : en
Pages : 439
Book Description
Universal Studios created the first cinematic universe of monsters--Dracula, Frankenstein, the Mummy and others became household names during the 1930s and 1940s. During the 1950s, more modern monsters were created for the Atomic Age, including one-eyed globs from outer space, mutants from the planet Metaluna, the Creature from the Black Lagoon, and the 100-foot high horror known as Tarantula. This over-the-top history is the definitive retrospective on Universal's horror and science fiction movies of 1951-1955. Standing as a sequel to Tom Weaver, Michael Brunas and John Brunas's Universal Horrors (Second Edition, 2007), it covers eight films: The Strange Door, The Black Castle, It Came from Outer Space, Creature from the Black Lagoon, This Island Earth, Revenge of the Creature, Cult of the Cobra and Tarantula. Each receives a richly detailed critical analysis, day-by-day production history, interviews with filmmakers, release information, an essay on the score, and many photographs, including rare behind-the-scenes shots.

Of Raincrows and Ivy Leaves
Author: Edgar Brown
Publisher: Dorrance Publishing
ISBN: 1480926795
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 366
Book Description
Of Raincrows and Ivy Leaves by Edgar Brown with Dr. Judith A. Brown This is a remarkable book. It tells the story of an apparently ordinary American who happens to be born in extraordinary times and who is, therefore, forced to live an exceptional life. Edgar Brown is a member of that generation which fought both the Great Depression and World War II, and prevailed! Thus, this story of one man’s life becomes the story of the history of our country through some of its most dramatic and significant times in microcosm. But beyond that, Of Raincrows and Ivy Leaves reveals a very human life. In detail that is startling, unsparing and remarkably straightforward, we get to know a person, better perhaps than we know even some of those closest to us.

Arlen's Gun
Author: Edgar Doleman
Publisher: AuthorHouse
ISBN: 1665508590
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 324
Book Description
“Arlen’s Gun” centers on an alienated and angry young man from the worst streets of Baltimore. The Vietnam War is raging and, virtually certain to be drafted, he’s persuaded by a friend to avoid that fate by volunteering for the Air Force. Both end up in Vietnam, his friend in a comfortable administrative job while he becomes a gunner on an AC-47 gunship. His attitude isolates him from the crew members, and the nature of the gunship’s mission isolates him from the reality of war itself until his plane is shot down and crash lands in no-man’s land. It is the monsoon season, bad weather grounds rescue helicopters, and the crew is rescued by an Army unit. Events strand him with his rescuers, soon caught up in desperate battles where the airman gradually discovers in the motley group a path to brotherhood.

Bingo! Bingo! Bingo!
Author: Edgar M. Nash
Publisher: Edgar Nash
ISBN: 0970615795
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 286
Book Description
This book is a 'must-read' for all military people and those who are interested in World War Two history of the South Pacific fighting. MOST DATES, PEOPLE, PLACES AND EVENTS ARE AUTHENTIC AND HISTORICALLY ACCURATE. The author knows naval practice and procedures from experience, and gives us a gripping account of "Operation Sidewinder", a superb battle plan for the quick-and-deadly PT (Patrol Torpedo) boats during the Marines' fierce and bitter fighting for Guadalcanal and its vital Henderson Field. The story begins in the President of the United States Oval Office with initial measures taken by powerful historic figures, steps that defy reader conclusions, and quickly gathers strength and direction as it draws the reader along with its gradually quickening pace without disclosing the culmination of "Operation Sidewinder" until the inevitable action EXPLODES! The ending is a shocker!

Solo into the Rising Sun
Author: Ed Kittrell
Publisher: Rowman & Littlefield
ISBN: 0811769127
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 377
Book Description
When we think about World War II bombers, we picture formations of scores of bombers, escorted and protected by fighters, flying into enemy territory and bombing the hell out of the enemy. In Europe and usually the Pacific, this was the standard approach, but some bomber squadrons flew a different kind of mission. This was the case for VPB-117 – the Blue Raiders – unique not only because its B-24 Liberators flew for the U.S. Navy and not the Army, but also because most of the Raiders’ missions entailed bombers venturing out over the Pacific, alone, to seek and destroy on long-range missions of a thousand miles out and a thousand back, often at altitudes close enough for sea spray to cloud their windows. This is their story.
