Book Description
To say I was down on my luck and depressed when my friend Paul downloaded Tinder on my phone is an understatement. My girlfriend ended our relationship over a bowl of Cornflakes and moved out without even telling me. Nice, huh? That kind of thing tends to leave a scorch mark, so when my blind date didn't turn up, I wasn't even surprised. And then I stood to pay my tab and the whole bar fell quiet. I followed the staring eyes of the bartender and when I turned my jaw slackened. Because she was stood there. Glowing like a timid angel. Her dark hair and forest-green eyes froze me like liquid nitrogen. That was the first time I ever met Grace Cunningham and I made sure it wasn't the last. Over the next two weeks we saw each other almost every day, and aside from kissing sessions I got the impression she wanted to take things slow. Until she didn't… Standing in my bedroom, I knew she was nervous but I had no idea why. Until I did… Grace was naked when my lustful gaze lowered down her body… And that's when I saw… … … IT. She was beautiful. Stunning. Perfect. And so… big. Now I had to decide if I could do this. It did not take long. Join us for a breathtaking experience of high octane 'romance'. You will not be sorry. I sure as hell wasn't…

Night Hunters
Author: William Pace Head
Publisher: Texas A&M University Press
ISBN: 1623491509
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 403
Book Description
In Night Hunters, air power historian William P. Head provides the first detailed study of the development and deployment of the AC-130 gunship. While other airframes and other types of close air support (CAS) and interdiction weapon systems preceded or flew with the AC-130s, this four-engine cargo airframe proved to be not only the longest serving fixed-wing gunship but also the most effective by far. During the Vietnam War, the US military developed new tactics and weapons systems to counter a diversity of enemy tactics and geographic features, the difficult climate, and the shifting diplomatic context. One of the most important was the development of the AC-130. Its ability to transport heavier payloads at higher altitudes across longer distances made it the logical choice to be the final Vietnam-era fixed-wing gunship and the only one that continues to fly missions in the twenty-first century. In addition, it employed many of the most advanced weapons, sensors, targeting devices, and fire control systems of the 1970s or of any era. By recounting both the technical development and the combat operations of the plane, and by looking at the proposed alternatives for its use in the War on Terror, Night Hunters offers a clear view of the role of gunships and of close air support in US wars. In today’s never-ending brushfire wars, the AC-130s continue to uphold their reputation for excellence.
