LOSONSKY, TERRY M. FLYING TIGER: A CREW CHIEF'S STORY: OVER 200 PHOTOGRAPHS 8 1/2" X 11", 112 PG | |
|
This new book is the war diary of a Flying Tiger American Volunteer Group crew chief from the 3rd Pursuit Squadron. Much of the Flying Tiger history is written from the pilot's viewpoint. These brave pilots deserve much praise, but those who fixed the aircraft and kept them flying also have a story to tell. Though their story is perhaps not as flashy, it is quite interesting and very much in tune with the everyday spirit of that intense period before America entered the World War II. This book contains Losonsky's war diary, which is supplemented with interviews and dialogue, and includes over 200 unpublished photographs. This format provides the reader with a multi-dimensional view of the period. Flying Tiger will give aviation historians new insights into the days shortly before the Flying Tiger successes in late 1941. Price: $35.00 |

LUKIN, JAMES, ED. TURNING LATHES 432 PAGES, SOFTBOUND 6" x 9 1/4 | |
|
The subtitle of this period book "A guide to turning, screw-cutting, metal-spinning, ornamental turning, etc." gives a more precise idea of what the reader will find here. Most collectors, and a large number of woodworkers are only generally familiar with the fine art of turning. Here, in the pages of this book that was originally published in 1894, one will find all of the secrets of the many specialized forms of turning and spinning, as well as the special sharpening techniques for the tools used in those crafts. In addition to the thoroughly entertaining and well-illustrated text, the catalogue of the Brittania Company, a period dealer in metalworking tools, complete with original engravings, is included. For a look at the lost world of metalworking as it existed at the dawn of the Industrial Age, we wholeheartedly recommend this book. Price: $0.00 |

LUNDH, LENNART SIKORSKY H-34: AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY OVER 350 COLOR AND B 8 1/2" X 11", 160 PG | |
|
Originally designed in 1952 as an anti-submarine warfare platform for the U.S. Navy, almost two-thousand Sikorsky H-34s have served on every continent with the armed forces of twenty-five countries from combat in Algeria, the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, and throughout southeast Asia, to saving flood victims, recovering astronauts, fighting fires, and carrying presidents, military H-34s have met every challenge handed them. With continuing post-military service, the number of countries which the H-34 has called home has swelled to nearly fifty. Revitalized with turbine engines, it has yet to fade from sight. Whether lifting construction material or supporting police departments, the DC-3 of helicopters will still be flying on its fiftieth anniversary. The most detailed account of the H-34 to appear, Lennart Lundhs Sikorsky H-34 reflects over a decade of research. It takes the reader through the H-34 from nose to tail, and across its service from Argentina to Vietnam. Few of the photographs have been published before, and many are drawn from private collections. A special feature is the chapter of impressions and anecdotes from fourteen H-34 crew members.
