Dick Cole’s War
Author: Dennis R. Okerstrom
Publisher: University of Missouri Press
ISBN: 0826273556
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
With the 100th anniversary of his birth on September 7, 2015 Dick Cole has long stood in the powerful spotlight of fame that has followed him since his B-25 was launched from a Navy carrier and flown toward Japan just four months after the attack on Pearl Harbor. In recognition the tremendous boost Doolittle’s Raid gave American morale, members of The Tokyo Doolittle Raiders were awarded the Congressional Gold Medal in May 2014. Doolittle’s Raid was only the opening act of Cole’s flying career during the war. When that mission was complete and all of the 16 aircraft had crash-landed in China, many of the survivors were assigned to combat units in Europe. Cole remained in India after their rescue and was assigned to Ferrying Command, flying the Hump of the Himalayas for a year in the world’s worst weather, with inadequate aircraft, few aids to navigation, and inaccurate maps. More than 600 aircraft with their crews were lost during this monumental effort to keep China in the war, but Cole survived and rotated home in 1943. He was home just a few months when he was recruited for the First Air Commandos and he returned to India to participate in Project 9, the aerial invasion of Burma.

Rebel Raider

Languages : en
Pages : 336
Book Description
At the age of twelve, American William R. Dunn decided to become a fighter pilot. In 1939 he joined the Canadian Army and was soon transferred to the Royal Air Force. He was the first pilot in the famous Eagle Squadron of American volunteers to shoot down an enemy aircraft and later became the first American ace of the war. After joining the U.S. Army Air Corps in 1943, he saw action in the Normandy invasion and in Patton's sweep across France. Twenty years later he fought again in Vietnam. Dunn keenly conveys the fighter pilot's experience of war -- the tension of combat, the harsh grip of fear, the love of aircraft, the elation of victory, the boisterous comradeship and competition of the pilot brotherhood. Fighter Pilot is both a gripping story and a unique historical document.

Raider Annihilation

Pages : 342
Book Description
He's No Angel, But He's Got Everything She Needs He was minding his own business on Earth when a beautiful sorceress summoned him to defend a backwater village from demonic raiders. He's lost his gun, his family, and even his name, but it's not the first fight he's been in, and it won't be the last. The sorceress isn't happy-she expected an ancient goddess of war. Instead, she got some random guy who's halfway decent with a sword. But there's more to him than good looks and a big stick, and if he can harness this new world's magic, the town of Foulwater might just be glad he stuck around. First, though, he'll have to get a busty elf buccaneer to sober up, sail through monster-infested waters, kick a bunch of lava monsters in the face, and plunder the submerged basement of a demon king. It's a race against time before the raiders return to burn down the village, and their deadliest enemy might already be inside the walls. Disclaimer: Raider Annihilation is a steamy isekai harem adventure like no other. Our hero isn't shy and neither are the women of Caranja. There is sex on the page, swearing, smoking, drug use, and goat-milk beer. Enter a spicy new world from Aaron Crash, the bestselling author of the American Dragon series and The Princesses of the Ironbound.
