Consequently, Red Wing stoneware collecting has seen a remarkable and exciting growth beyond the Midwest and has become nationwide in its appeal.

After an introduction of each type, a heavily illustrated overview of earlier inter-war production from 1920-on, along with a discussion and illustration of wartime experimental types, is provided. A lengthy section considering several technical factors affecting fighter performance follows. These include engine models, supercharger types, propellers, aerodynamic thrust, lift and drag, aircraft weight, balance, stability and control, and armament. America's Hundred Thousand also provides details of each U.S. World War II production fighter in terms of models and changes, numbers produced, and major engine and aircraft performance aspects - in tabular and graphical form - details of weights, discussion of handling qualities and general comments, along with detailed descriptions containing many illustrations of aircraft structures and systems showing the technology of that time. In addition a comprehensive week-to-week and month-to-month chronology of development and wartime combat operational life for each fighter is provided, including many photos. This study concludes with comparisons of the eleven types in terms of program milestones, aircraft drag, power available at various altitudes, speed, climb, rolling and turning, acceleration, and diving performance, as well as general evaluations by World War II pilots.

DEAN, FRANCIS H. THE ISRAELI AIR FORCE 1947-1960: AN OVER 190 BLACK & WHI 8 1/2" X 11", 176 PG | |
|
The writing of this book, the first in-depth and fully detailed research about the early years of the Chel Haavir from the light-plane days to the supersonic fighters received roughly ten years later is the culmination of a long research period by the author. Research that was made harder by the tight but understandable and respected security measures involving Israels Forces. An exceptional source of information has been the help provided by many Chel HaAvir veterans who fought in the early days during 1948/1949, and those who helped establish a viable air force in 1949-1956 in spite of tight budgets, obsolescent equipment and lack of experience, and also those who fought in Sinai in late 1956, establishing the seeds for its future role as the airborne shield of Israel. As the reader will discover, the beginnings were extremely hard, and the Chel HaAvir had to face unfriendly attitudes from both the United States and the United Kingdom, which took place while many people civilian and military were dying in the newborn Hebrew state. But in observing that official policies do not always reflect the citizenships feelings, most of the colorful band of foreign volunteers that helped the Chel Haavir and the other defense forces to resist, fight back and win, came from those countries. These foreign volunteers, mostly with combat experience in World War II, provided a core in which many highly talented young Israelis learned fast. One thing was certain, then and now; Israel exists because of the resolute people that live in this small country, both civilian and military, but above all because of the Chel Haavir which in the following years would be proclaimed the most combat experienced air force in the world.

|
Everyone looks great in clothes that fit, no matter what your size. If ready-to-wear doesn't do it for you, let Barbara Deckert teach you how to sew for your plus-size body. She will guide you through the process of selecting designs, fabrics, and colors that flatter plus- and super-size figures. In addition, you'll get great techniques for sizing up any pattern (even those fancy designer ones!), special concerns for plus-size sewers, and lots of hints and advice make this the most useful sewing book you'll ever own. "Clothing is about more than how you look. Others may judge us by the clothes we wear, and not having attractive, fashionable clothes that fit can contribute to body hatred. Clothing is about power, and Sewing for Plus Sizes is about empowering women to look at their large bodies with love." -- Lynn McAfee, Director, Medical Advocacy, Council on Size & Weight Discrimination "Barbara shares her upbeat philosophy on creating flattering, well-proportioned, and properly fitted clothes for plus sizes. She then thoroughly explains a wide range of pattern adjustments, and, for good measure, includes a wealth of solid sewing advice." -- Susan Khalje, author of Bridal Couture and Linen and Cotton "Just as Barbara Deckert says, 'Good fit makes you feel great!' and this book is a reflection of the new evolution that you can create your own 'style beyond size.' This is a must-have for all women size 14 and up who sew or want to work with a tailor or seamstress. More important, women with curves are given the tools to create a great fitting wardrobe and join 'The New Shape in Fashion.'" -- Michele Weston, Fashion and Style Director, Mode magazine Price: $17.95 |
