Wings over the Wilderness They Flew the Trail of '42
Surrey BC: Hancock House Publishers. Very Good. 2008. First Edition. Softcover. 0888395957 . Card covers show some shelf wear with creasing. ; A bright solid book.; B&W and Colour photographs; 10.9 X 8.4 X 0.7 inches; 296 pages; "Both Britain and the United States responded to Germany's attack on Russia with the immediate shipment of a small quantity of combat aircraft while pledging to send a steady stream of 400 aircraft per month. Delivery of tactical aircraft to the Soviet battlefield presented significant logistical and technical challenges due to the great distances involved exposure to hostile forces and damage to delicate aircraft components inflicted while in transit. Spanning the breadth of Siberia there existed only a scattering of primitive airfields and on the North American side the situation was only marginally better. To accommodate aircraft ferrying on the scale envisioned additional airfields would have to be created others upgraded hangars and housing built navigational aids installed massive quantities of fuel delivered and scarce manpower diverted for the purpose. Wings Over the Wilderness tells the story of the secret WWII airway that arched across 8000 miles of sub-Arctic wilderness and over Siberia to reach an ally in need. The book pays tribute to the thousands of men and women who toiled under the most difficult of circumstances to help decide the outcome of World War Two. Primitive facilities harsh climate and wild terrain were among the difficulties faced by American and Russian pilots in the transfer of nearly 8000 warplanes from American factories to the Russian battlefield. The airway was cruel on man and machine as the grave markers and twisted wrecks of fallen warplanes littering forest and muskeg bear testament. Smith's writings offer first-hand veteran accounts and fascinating stories surrounding the delivery of the warplanes to Russia. The book includes an extensive introduction by the author that offers the reader the historical and geo-political background at the time of the writing. Accompanying the detailed text are hundreds of never-before-published photographs. Also included in the book are extensive endnotes a glossary of terms and abbreviations a bibliography and index." .

Initially the city was woefully unprotected but an integrated air defense system was progressively developed in response to the early months' destruction and casualties. Over a year was to pass before the first zeppelin was downed over British soil by the Royal Flying Corps but successes then steadily mounted as observation and communication networks improved and new tactics were learned. In his revealing account of a terrifying campaign which was to be repeated only decades later in the Luftwaffe's Blitz the author describes the birth of a new arena of warfare "the home front."" .

During the leg of the flight from Greenland to Iceland they ran into severe weather over the Denmark Strait and were forced to turn back. Unfortunately all the landing fields within their fuel range were socked in under the same weather conditions. Running low on fuel the two bombers and four of the Lightning fighters were forced to crash-land on the coast of Greenland. All personnel survived the landings and were eventually rescued however the aircraft were abandoned to the elements. Over 50 years later and expedition was mounted by Pat Epps and Richard Taylor to possibly recover one or more of the aircraft by this time under more than 200 feet of snow and ice. This book is an account of the search discovery and eventual recovery of one of the P-38's by one of the expedition members. . Bloomsbury Publications hardcover

Malabar FL: Krieger Publishing Company. Fine in Very Good dust jacket. 1994. Third Printing. Hardcover. 0894648780 . Front flap creased otherwise as new. ; A bright solid book DJ in Mylar . ; An Anvil Original; 7.10 X 4.50 X 0.80 inches; 276 pages; When future generations review the history of the twentieth century they will undoubtedly judge humanity's movement into space with both machines and people as one of its seminal developments. Even at this juncture the complex nature of spaceflight and the activity that it has engendered on the part of many peoples and governments makes the U.S. civil space program a significant area of investigation. People from all avenues of experience and levels of education share an interest in the drama of spaceflight. This book is the most up-to-date synthesis of the American civil space program available and the only one designed especially for use as a college textbook. Written by NASA's chief historian it describes the history of this effort from its earliest origins to the early 1990s and offers a powerful analysis of the space program that merges political economic technological scientific and foreign affairs into a meaningful whole. As in all the Anvil Series texts it has both a sound historical narrative and a set of key documents which suggest other aspects of the story. . Krieger Publishing Company hardcover
