|
This book delivers a rather vague definition of the architectural curiosity, the folly. That is because there is no one definition.

Their one common factor is that they were built to be looked at and enjoyed, a function that they all still serve today. This book traces the complete history of follies, from the first prospect tower, through the golden era of the first half of the eighteenth century and up to to WWII. Its also filled with numerous excellent vintage photographs which demonstrate the enormous variety of follies that can still be found throughout England today. This book is sure to intrigue any architectural buff, cultural enthusiast, and armchair adventurer. Price: $8.95 |

WHITNEY, DANIEL D. VEES FOR VICTORY!: THE STORY OF THE ALL OVER 400 BLACK & WHI 8 1/2" X 11", 464 PG | |
|
Over 60 percent of U.S. Army fighters during World War II were powered by the Allison V-1710 engine. It was a strong and reliable power plant that powered the pre-war generation of 400 mph Army pursuits, and the majority of Army combat fighters on through World War II. Even so, the V-1710 was controversial and often maligned, considered by some to have been a second-rate engine. Author Whitneys objective was to find, and tell, the true story of the 70,000 V-1710s and the people who built them. A critique of Vees For Victory! was provided by the Editor of Wings Magazine, August 1997, who wrote: Presenting the 1929-1948 story of Allisons V-1710 engine in a revealing investigative style that uncovers a great deal of new material, this well-illustrated volume represents something seldom seen these days pure, original research. Combined with lucid writing and penetrating analysis, Vees for Victory! recounts Allisons up and down career from Curtiss XP-37, through the XP-58, and GM XP-75 Eagle. In between are all the major fighters which utilized the Allison, including the P-38, P-39, the lightweight fighters XP-46A and XP-47, as well as the early P-51 Mustangs. Author Dan Whitney carefully and seamlessly grafts the histories of these aircraft to their engines and supercharger components, relying on new information from aero engineers and test pilots to present what is sure to become a milestone in the recording of aviation history.

|
Dressed in black uniforms emblazoned with the SS flash, Heinrich Himmlers horsemen carried the SS banner across the German countryside and to equestrian competitions throughout Germany and Europe. They rode as the Equestrian SS, an SS cavalry force designed to win elite support, to enhance social prestige, and to attract farmers to Himmlers essentially urban organization. The Equestrian SS was the only SS organization acquitted at the Nuremberg Trials. Yet the Equestrian SS trained to be a security and occupation force. In mounted Deaths Head regiments in Poland and in the SS Cavalry Brigade in Russia, Equestrian SS personnel fulfilled their obligations as devoted SS political soldiers. Driven by SS training, SS horsemen murdered thousands of Jews in Eastern Europe. Wilson provides numerous anecdotes, statistics, and capsule biographies of Equestrian SS personnel. This carefully researched study is essential reading for scholars and lay people interested in the history of Nazi Germany, the SS, and the Holocaust. Price: $29.95 |
