Small-Town Cops in the Crosshairs - Bruce E. Mowday - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Small-Town Cops in the Crosshairs - Bruce E. Mowday - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A detailed account of the brutal sniper murders of two small-town PA policemen by Johnston gang member Ancell Hammin 1972. The sniper killings of Kennett Square, Pennsylvania policemen William Davis and Richard Posey shocked the American public in November 1972 and garnered national coverage on the major news networks at the time. Decades later, this book, the first to cover the slayings, details the cold-blooded ambush of the two small-town law enforcement officers by a member of the murderous Johnston gang. Using a high-powered rifle from a sniper’s nest, Johnston gang member Ancell Hamm gunned down the officers in the early morning hours of November 15, 1972, just outside the town’s police station. Using period, local reportage and new interviews with law enforcement officials who worked the case, the meticulous investigation of the crime by members of the Pennsylvania State Police, FBI, Chester County detectives, and local police departments is recounted in detail, as is the trial. The book also details the lives of the victims, and the loss suffered by their families in this small southeastern Pennsylvania town. The foreword was written by former Pennsylvania Supreme Court justice William H. Lamb, who, as Chester County district attorney in the early 1970s, prosecuted the case. The book also includes new interviews with the convicted killer.

Small Dreams - Jeffrey Milstein - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Small Dreams - Jeffrey Milstein - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The unique architecture and landscaping of mid-twentieth-century Palm Springs trailer parks Jeffrey Milstein is a photographer, architect and graphic designer who is fascinated with how similar forms repeat themselves in distinctive ways. Here, he examines classic Palm Springs trailer park homes, each composed of the same basic units—the box-like "house," the flanking carport, and the patio shelter. Photographing each one from exactly the same viewpoint, he shows how the owners have personalized their dwellings in a delightful range of architectural styles from Chinese to early Egyptian to Desert Modern. Parked on small plots with their narrow ends facing the street, these tiny homes were originally made of surplus sheet metal using technology developed in aircraft factories during WWII. Over time, people remodeled them, creating decorative facades and in some cases adding elements of architectural styles found in more affluent neighborhoods. In documenting these older mobile homes, including the Blue Skies Village Trailer Park founded in 1955 by Bing Crosby, Milstein reveals how we shape our world to reflect our dreams and aspirations.

We Flew Alone 2nd Edition - Alan C. Carey - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

We Flew Alone 2nd Edition - Alan C. Carey - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This revised and expanded second edition covers USN and USMC squadrons that operated the Consolidated B-24 Liberator heavy bomber as the PB4Y-1 in the Pacific from early 1943 through September 1944 in the Central Pacific. Combat air crews consisted of eleven young men typically ages 18 to 26 led by a patrol plane commander in his early to mid-twenties. They flew alone on single-plane patrols often lasting ten or more hours. Alone on patrol there were no witnesses when an aircraft failed to return to base; they simply vanished, leaving little if any clues about their fate. Other aircrews sent to look for the missing would occasionally spot a deflated life raft floating or dye marker spreading across the water—evidence marking where a four-engine bomber and its crew had gone down.
