The Second World War in the Air - Merfyn Bourne - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Second World War in the Air - Merfyn Bourne - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

This book is a complete narrative history of the Second World War in the air which starts by describing the early days of flight in order to put military air power in context when World War Two began. It then moves on to a step-by-step coverage of the air combat in each theatre of war. Offering a comprehensive history – that includes the lesser known campaigns such as the fighting in Burma, Italy and East Africa as well as the air offensive in Western Europe and the struggle in the Pacific – it also re-examines the RAF bombing of German cities and the moral issues raised. This is the first history of the air war to give full and proportionate coverage to the war in Russia, which until now has been largely ignored. The Second World War in the Air is a comprehensive review of the air war. It’s meticulously researched, readable and remains in touch with what the fighting meant for individuals in the various combatant nations.

Below us the Front - N L Collier - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Having survived the trenches on the Western Front, Franz Becker has joined the Air Service and learns to fly in a fragile, unreliable machine. He passes his pilot’s course and is posted to a two-seater squadron in the east, where he is responsible for flying the slow, vulnerable biplane while his observer defends them against Russian fighters with only a single machine-gun. Fought on vast open plains, the war in the East is one of movement. Germany’s main ally is the tottering Austro-Hungarian Empire whose forces are unreliable and undermined by internal conflict. The Eastern Front would collapse without German support, as Franz and his comrades are only too aware. When the squadron is moved to the Western Front, they come face to face with skilful and determined opposition from French and English fighters, and the casualty rate mounts. Franz and his fellow pilots are keen to leave the lumbering two-seater aircraft for the agile and better-armed fighters, and to be the hunter instead of the hunted. At the same time Franz’s closest friend, Karl von Leussow, is fighting for his life in the blood-soaked earth of Verdun, where his regimen is almost annihilated. He decides to follow Franz into the air – but first he has to stay alive.

None So Blind - Xenon - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Gea is largely unified under the Troian Empire, but the present Emperor is inept and ineffective. Dissatisfaction and disloyalty taint the political air and an aging swordmaster, Diomedes, finds himself having to unravel a plot against the Emperor, while struggling with his feelings for his friend’s wife, whose life is in peril.

The Nomad Letters - Martin Thiebaut - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Nomad Letters - Martin Thiebaut - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The remarkable story of a friendship spanning six decades between two individuals whose careers could hardly have followed more contrasting courses beyond the Land of Hope and Glory: that of Graham Haigh, the expedition-mounting adventurer, who went on to make the Middle East and South-East Asia his professional stamping grounds, and that of Martin Thiebaut whose francophone roots led him to Belgium then Luxembourg and to rub shoulders with a stimulating mix of nationalities. But given that this dual epistolary autobiography was conceived as a tribute to the author’s lifelong friend, the focus is on Graham and his richly varied experiences. Not least among these, in view of a more than passing interest in pop music and the lure of the open road, was Graham’s encounter back in the 1960s with Roy Orbison on the Sussex coast, where the singer had come to collect a bespoke Harley-Davidson. When, many years later, Graham exchanged handshakes with a Kuwaiti billionaire, the memory of that warm greeting with the man who sang ‘You Got It’ trumped pressing the flesh with a Forbes list magnate.

Made Of Time - Theophanis Kleanthous - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

How do you measure time in and around yourself? Or, is time as invisible and artificial as other sensations we assimilate? How much of the present are we prepared to abandon? Time and thought cannot be measured in the present, yet we have made them two of the pillars of our existence. Why? Made Of Time Tell me why is time and why is space And why we swim them bound by grace Rescued on the ladders of our languages While mathematics grins its soundless face Flirting with our senses as though our lover While all the time attentive of some other Weighing burdens in the cities of our thinking While we dream excursions or escaping Tell me of the forces keeping us on grounds The gravities of lights and air bound sounds All thriving in the mysteries of galaxies Spinning, asking if their destinies are found Tell me why we think with patterns made of time So I can know beyond this universe’s mime Made Of Time is the new collection of inspirational poetry from Theophanis Kleanthous, author of Drying Naked (ISBN: 9781785891366).

The Wainwright Boys - Paul Webb - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

One anonymous woman… with a dream. Four unrelated men… all in receipt of an identical solicitor’s letter urging them to travel to the town of Keswick in the heart of England’s Lake District. A washed-up alcoholic City banker, a time-share crook living on the Spanish Costas, the neurotic gay owner of a B&B and a destitute hippy living on his wreck of a boat are all inexplicably summoned. There is the promise of ‘something to their advantage’ but even without this enticement all have good reason to want to escape their current everyday situations. The four men’s converging journeys, by air, road, sea, and mountain paths produce four very different stories. Each has its own cast of eccentrics and grotesques, and a few saints and saviours, laughable disasters and chaotic episodes of high farce. There are also unexpected moments of sensitivity and pathos and as the characters reach their journeys’ ends it’s clear none of their lives will ever be quite the same. And one mountain…bleak and brutal, it holds the key to the mystery and provides the rainswept setting for the dramatic and tragic climax.

Vital Capacity - Dr Robert Primhak - Bog - Troubador Publishing - Plusbog.dk

What makes a man abandon his family and his successful professional life for the goldfields of Australia? John Hutchinson left the coalfields of 19th Century Tyneside to become a surgeon, a physician and a pioneer of chest medicine. His research on lung capacity using his newly-designed machine received international acclaim. And then, just as the pinnacle of professional success was within his reach, he cast it all aside and travelled to Australia as a ship’s surgeon. He was involved in the first large-scale miner’s strike, colliery disasters, navigated the chaos of medical education in the early 19th century, invented the spirometer, and did some meticulous research. He then travelled to Melbourne in the early days of the Australian gold rush, and on to the goldfields of Victoria, before moving on to Fiji. Artist, sculptor, musician, and engineer, Hutchinson was a man of many parts, and his design for a spirometer survived until modern times, as did his term for maximum breathable air: vital capacity. In this book a renowned respiratory specialist discusses some of the other factors that influenced his life, including some crucial misconceptions about the causes of disease.
