One Day Too Long
Timothy Castle

Columbia University Press, 2000

An American tragedy in Laos.
Congratulations to Dr. Castle for this fine book. A meticulously researched historical work of the finest order that reads like a Tom Clancy action novel. A bombshell that exposes one of the most egregious and hitherto publicly undisclosed tragedies of the Vietnam ...

Air Force One
Robert Dorr

Zenith Press, 2002

Air Force One: The Secrets
"Air Force One," by Robert F. Dorr has beautiful pictures, nice binding, and an attractive dust jacket. But it's filled with facts, some current (post 9-11), some historical. The amazing thing is, it reveals the secret, secondary purpose of this aircraft. As a retired ...
  
  











  



  
Bloody Shambles : Volume One : The Drift to War to the Fall of Singapore
Christopher Shores, Brian Cull, ...

Grub Street, 2002

Details Tell the Story
Bloody Shambles is an extraordinarily detailed study of the utter futility of the first months of the war in the Pacific and Southeast Asia. While providing little overview or narrative, the detail of the experiences speak for themselves. Inadequate equipment, both, ...
  
  











  



  
Jungle Ace: The Story of One of the USAAF's Great Fighter Leaders, Col. Gerald R. Johnson (The Warriors)
John R. Bruning

Potomac Books Inc., 2003

Jungle Ace is a must for pilots, especially fighter pilots!
Col Johnson was probably the best pilot of WWII. He was a P-38 pilot in the South Pacific and became a full Colonel and had 24 victories by the time he was 24 years old. It is a compelling true story with a tragic ending. I am very pleased this book was written ...

McGraw-Hill, 2005

Valuable Insights and Counsel in Combination with Practicality
The last time I checked, Amazon and its online partner Borders offer more than 12,000 different books on the subject of innovation. Presumably this number will continue to increase as organizations become more actively involved with strategic planning in a global ...

Royal Canadian Air Force

Pocket Books, 1962

The Best Exercise Book for all ages
I bought this paperback book back in 1962 for the going price of $1.00 and over the years I have continued to follow it, not always to the maximum but it has been a wonderful help to keep me fit. It's the best!

Around the World with LBJ: My Wild Ride as Air Force One Pilot, White House Aide, and Personal Confidant
James U., Cross

University of Texas Press, 2008

LBJ's Personal Side From His Pilot
There are those who disliked LBJ. They probably would have felt differently if they had known the personal man. This book gives highly personal insights into a man often called "bigger than life." And, reading this well written and well-researched book (the author ...

Warren A. Trest

Smithsonian, 2000

The patron saint of unconventional warfare
During the Vietnam era, Heinie Aderholt was U.S. air force's patron saint of low-cost, bare-knuckled, unconventional warfare. He was one of two men -- the other being his longtime friend, the CIA's Bill Lair -- to put his personal stamp on the huge covert program in ...
  
  











  



  
Royal Canadian Air Force Exercise Plans for Physical Fitness, Two Books in One: XBX / 5BX (Revised U.S. ...
Royal Canadian Air Force

Fireside, 1975

Great program.
This was a great program -- my gym teacher used it in high school, and I still go back to it for travel and when I'm short on time. There are also great websites devoted to the program -- some with the original materials in PDF format.
  
  











  



  
Black Sheep One: The Life of Gregory "Pappy" Boyington
Bruce Gamble

Presidio Press, 2000

This may be the only biography I have ever finished.
I hate biographies with their authoritarian tones, time lines, dates and obscure facts, and get bored before finishing them. I do, however, prefer to be historically accurate rather than politically correct, so when my children started watching Black Sheep Squadron on ...
  
  











  



  
Jagdwaffe: Battle of Britain: Phase One: July-August 1940 (Luftwaffe Colours: Volume Two, Section 1)
Eric Mombeek, David Wadman, ...

Classic Publications, 2001

Start of the Battle of Britain

SPREADING MY WINGS: One of Britain's Top Women Pilots Tells Her Remarkable Story from Pre-war Flying to ...
Diana Barnato Walker

Grub Street, 2003

Really good once you get past the earlier years
I really enjoyed this book once I got past Diana's earlier years. Which unfortuately make her sound pompous and arrogant, snobby and pretentious and actually rather bratty and in places nasty. This is unfortunate because if you can get past this bit and onto where ...
  
  











  



  
One Last Look: Sentimental Journey to the Eighth Air Force Heavy Bomber Bases of World War II in England
Philip Kaplan, Rex Alan Smith

Artabras, 1983

One Last Look
As the son of a surviving B-17 pilot, I have spent considerable time poring over books specific to the subject. This book, along with Half a Wing, Three Engines and a Prayer are true treasures. History books alone cannot convey information to our successors like a ...
