Maud Stevens Wagner - Alan Govenar - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Maud Stevens Wagner - Alan Govenar - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The true story of Maud Wagner—contortionist, aerial artist, carnival performer and barker, wife, and mother—who defied Victorian-era conventions to blaze her own trail. Maud Stevens Wagner, the "Mona Lisa of American tattoo," was an ardent individualist who left home at a young age to pursue a career of her own making. An acrobat, she exuded an athletic strength as an aerial artist and contortionist. In the early 20th century, she was a thoroughly modern woman who asserted her independence and her own identity. Together with her husband, Gus (known as the “most artistically marked-up man in America"), Maud balanced parenting and work, traveling around the country as the Wagner’s Traveling Museum, exhibiting themselves and making tattoos in circus and carnival sideshows, dime museums, and pop-up shops. At the height of their careers, Maud and Gus established the Wagner Amusement Company and expanded their work to become promoters of street fairs, carnivals, and expositions. This book is the second of three in the series Last of the Hand Tattoo Artists, detailing the lives of Gus Wagner, Maud Wagner, and their daughter, Lotteva. Author Alan Govenar brings you Maud’s story with • an oral history from Maud’s daughter Lotteva Wagner Davis; • archival photos of Maud, Gus, and Maud''s tattoos; • clippings and photographs from Gus Wagner’s scrapbooks; • the Wagners'' tattoo flash from Gus Wagner''s notebooks; and • newspaper articles and obituaries detailing Maud’s life. As the author eloquently puts it, “In one sense, Gus and Maud challenged all expectations, but in another, they embodied and celebrated the can-do spirit intrinsic to American life.”

Gus Wagner - Alan Govenar - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Gus Wagner - Alan Govenar - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

A visual history of the life of Augustus “Gus” Wagner and his work as a hand tattoo artist, exploring a relatively unknown area of American art history from the 1890s to the 1930s. In 1897, Gus Wagner embarked on a four-year career as a merchant seaman. While traveling the world, he discovered the art of tattooing, learning from tribesmen in Java and Borneo who showed him how to use traditional handmade tools. By 1901, Gus reportedly had 264 tattoos of his own (and over 800 by 1908), allowing him to promote himself as “the most artistically marked-up man in America.” Back home, Gus embarked on a 40-year career as a traveling tattooist, tattooed man, and circus performer. He largely eschewed the new electric tattooing machines that transformed the art form after 1890, and remained faithful to his handheld instruments. Along with other wandering artists, Gus carried tattooing inland from coastal ports, making it part of the culture of small-town America in the 20th century. Highlights of this book include: • More than 100 examples of Gus Wagner’s tattoo flash as well as photos of his life and work, including his handheld tattooing tools • Excerpts from interviews with Gus, telling his story in his own words • Selected passages from three of Herman Melville’s novels— Typee , White Jacket , and Moby Dick , to illuminate the context of the oral history of Gus Wagner (Melville was an astute observer of hand tattoo artists and their clientele) The tattoo flash in this book is a testimony to the richness of Gus Wagner’s image vocabulary, his life, and his artistic influences. This is the first in a series of three books exploring "the Last of the Hand Tattoo Artists." The next two books focus on Gus''s wife, Maud, and their daughter, Lovetta, renowned hand tattoo artists in their own right.

The History of German Aviation - Wolfgang Wagner - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The History of German Aviation - Wolfgang Wagner - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This book, the first in a multi-volume history of German aviation, provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of of jet aircraft design and development in Germany. The solid description, unique photo material, historical documents, numerous drawings and complete data tables – published for the first time – make this book not only a gripping story but also an indispensable reference work for anyone with an interest in the development of aviation. In August 1939 in Germany a small propellerless aircraft took off on its maiden flight under conditions of utmost secrecy: the world’s first jet aircraft. Apart from Ernst Heinkel, Hans Joachim Pabst von Ohain (inventor of the turbojet engine) and a small circle of their co-workers, no one suspected the profound effect that the successful flight of the tiny He 178 would have on aviation. Spurred on by Heinkel’s success, very high speed aircraft were also put into the air by Messerschmitt, Arado and Junkers. On the other hand the designers of jet engines initially encountered almost insuperable problems, for in wartime high-quality raw materials such as nickel, cobalt and molybdenum were unobtainable and substitute materials had to be used in their place. But the designers, who were rushing ahead with their own projects, found a way around this with the help of experienced test pilots: in 1940 the Heinkel 280, the first twin-engined jet aircraft, was flown without engines as a towed glider; Messerschmitt installed an auxiliary piston engine in the nose of its twin-engined Me 262; Arado equipped its twin-engined Ar 234 with jet engines intended for ground tests only. The test pilots became accustomed to landing on just one working engine or none at all. In spite of shortages of strategic materials and the use of replacements, jet engines reached the production stage by the end of the war. But it was only possible to put small numbers of the very high speed aircraft into service, too late to have any decisive effect on the war. The development work on these first jet aircraft led to a tremendous technological leap forward; it was the beginning of advanced technology in aircraft design.

The History of German Aviation: Kurt Tank - Wolfgang Wagner - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The History of German Aviation: Kurt Tank - Wolfgang Wagner - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

This volume, the second in a mulit-volume history of German aviation, discusses the life work of one of Germany''s greatest aircraft designers in pictures, tables, drawings and in his own words discussing flight testing of his airplanes. Examined are the birth of Focke-Wulf''s airplanes, the ideas and thinking which formed the foundation of Tank''s designs, his masterpieces in the areas of long-range and high-speed flight as well as flight test results. The reader experiences the metamorphosis of an aircraft design from the first pencil line on the drawing board to the screaming, nearly supersonic dives during its evaluation phase. Tank would only entrust to civilian pilots, military flyers and the captains of the Lufthansa fleet those designs whose superior flying characteristics, stability, and flawless stall handling he had been able to experience first hand. A mixture of technical history, flight testing and previously unpublished data enable the reader to catch a fascinating glimpse of the aircraft built during the 1930s and 1940s, not to mention the outstanding designs Tank worked on in other countries following the war. All of the classic Focke-Wulf aircraft are to be found: the well-known Fw 200, Fw 190, Ta 152, and Ta 154, as well as the lesser known Fw 57, Fw 187, Fw 189 and others.

Any Place, Any Time, Any Where - R.d. Van Wagner - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Any Place, Any Time, Any Where - R.d. Van Wagner - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The 1st Air Commandos were sired by General of the Army Henry H. “Hap” Arnold and brought to life by the imagination of two men, Lieutenant Colonel Philip G. Cochran and Lieutenant Colonel John R. Alison. In gathering men of character and tenacity, these two visionaries molded a unit which had to overcome orthodox military minds, paralyzing fear, and Burma’s impregnable terrain before taking the fight to the Japanese. With a focus on the might and flexibility of air power, Cochran and Alison constructed an experimental unit which cut across the structured lines of conventional organizations. Forming an air arsenal which was totally unique in its composition and application, they combined the firepower of P-51A fighters and B-25H bombers with the logistical tentacles of C-47 transports, CG-4A gliders, L-5 and L-1 light planes, and UC-64 bush planes to reach far behind Japanese lines. The list of firsts is noteworthy – first airborne glider “snatch” in combat, first double tow of gliders into a combat arena, first helicopter operations, first helicopter combat rescue, first gunship employment, and first rockets fired against an enemy. Unorthodox and eclectic, the 1st Air Commandos serve as a model for conventional and special operations today.
