But can they do it without crashing, and without losing their wings? "A FUN READ COVER-TO-COVER... Bleriot is an excellent storyteller!"- Jeffrey Miller, author of The Panama Affair "The best flying stories since Ernie Gann's epics... Mike Bleriot "gets it." He has captured everything from the emotions to the scenery to the personalities to the cultures. There is virtually no parallel to the kind of flying these guys did..."- Dave Schlener, ATP Based on Bleriot's own experience as a counter-drug pilot in South America, Flying Naked's colorful characters, sharp dialogue, and fast pacing bring the quest to life - as do his hair-raising descriptions of flight during the Colombia war on drugs. Part memoir, part aviation history, and all action & adventure, Flying Naked is a tribute to the military crews and mechanics who operated in the Amazon in the 1990s.

Rice Jones, the writer of the diary and of most of the letters contained in this volume was a young officer in the Royal Engineers when he was sent to Portugal in 1809. He remained until 1812, ending his peninsular experiences at Ciudad Rodrigo where he successfully lead the 52nd and 43rd regiments into one of the breaches. His other main experiences were the Battle of Bussaco, the building of the Lines of Torres Vedras, and the abortive siege of Badajoz in early 1811. Writing of Rice Jones's role at Ciudad Rodrigo, the editor remarks "Of this exploit, our diarist supplies the briefest and most modest narrative that was probably ever penned by a son to his father."Edited by Commander The Hon. Henry N. Shore, R.N., and first published in nine issues of the Royal Engineers Journal in 1912 and 1913. Much of the content consists of Shore providing general background to the author's experiences, comparisons with other accounts of some of the events, and summaries of diary entries that were, in his interest, not of professional interest. Charles Oman these documents in an appendix to Volume 5 of his History of the Peninsular War, "Notes on some points of controversy regarding the storm of Ciudad Rodrigo."Still another controversy, about which there is much in the Rice Jones papers, in the possession of Commander Harry Shore, R.N., is as to what engineer officers conducted the storming columns. Apparently some credit has been misplaced among individuals here, but to decide upon the point would take more space than a book like this can afford.The content from the nine issues of the Royal Engineers Journal are separated into chapters in this edition.

Dramatic accounts of living through the Blitz.

The 4th and 5th Battalions, the Norfolk Regiment were formed in the early days of The Great War as part of the Territorial Force and deployed with 54th (East Anglian) Division to Gallipoli in 1915. Most significantly the 1/5th Battalion was unique in that it contained The Sandringham Company, the only unit to be raised entirely from a Royal Estate.Tragically the Company, along with King George V's Agent Captain Beck, disappeared without trace on 12 August 1915, presumed to have been overcome by their Turkish adversaries.The Battalion was rebuilt and saw out the ill-fated Gallipoli Campaign being evacuated to Egypt in December 1915. Thereafter the Norfolks served with distinction in Palestine as part of the Egyptian Expeditionary Force.The author has compiled a fascinating history of these Battalions' distinguished service using contemporary records and personal accounts illustrated with a splendid selection of photographs. The result is a fitting tribute to the memory of these brave volunteers.
