After being released he was still mentally and physically fit enough to fly F-86 jet fighters in the post - World War II German Air Force.This photo album presents the stages of his life - a man who wished to become a doctor, but whose fate it was to become and remain a soldier. If Erich Hartmann were "only" the most successful fighter pilot of all time, that itself would be noteworthy. But its uniqueness would no doubt fade with time. What makes Erich Hartmann stand out from the crowd even by today's standards is that personal integrity and unshakable character which helped him remain true to his convictions while enduring merciless burdens, and the courage to be tough when his convictions demanded it Price: $39.95 |

HATHEWAY, JAY IN PERFECT FORMATION OVER 100 BLACK & WHI 6" X 9", 192 PGS. | |

HAYES, GEOFFREY COAL MINING 32 PGS., SOFTBOUND 6 X 8 1/2 | |
|
From 1800 to the mid 20th century, the burning of coal provided nearly all of the power for British industry and transport, as well as heat for homes.

This book tells how mines evolved from simple bell pits to the extensive networks of shafts and tunnels extending deep underground, and describes the methods used to drive tunnels through the rock and the machines that were developed to cut the coals. As coal mining was an extremely dangerous occupation, measures taken over the years to minimize this danger from the hazards faced by miners has been described as well. It also features numerous vintage photographs and detailed diagrams. This book is written by an expert in coal mining, and is one of the most comprehensive on the topic. Price: $8.95 |
