The gripping personal story of a Falklands Fighter Ace. David Morgan, RAF officer and poet, relives his experiences during the Falklands War in this vivid memoir. On secondment to the Royal Navy when the Argentine invasion of the Falklands began and personally credited with shooting down two Argentine Skyhawks as well as enemy helicopters, Morgan was later awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. Here he recounts his involvement in the first British air-strike against Argentine positions around Port Stanley and describes being first on the scene when enemy jets bombed the landing ships SIR TRISTRAM and SIR GALAHAD. Including the author's heartfelt letters sent back to England to close family and friends, HOSTILE SKIES dramatically recalls what it was really like to fight, live and love during the Falklands War.

James "Jim" Davis piloted a B-24, as part of the 8th Air Force, on nearly thirty missions in the European Theatre during World War II. He flew support missions for Operations Cobra and Market Garden and numerous bombing missions over occupied Europe in the summer and fall of 1944, attacking enemy airfields, airplane factories, railroad marshalling yards, ship yards, oil refineries, and chemical plants. While he and his crew survived without serious injuries, they witnessed the destruction of many of their friends' planes and experienced serious damage to their own plane on several occasions.

Into Hostile Skies: Missing Air Crews of the 459th Bomb Group is a compilation of stories and experiences of the men who were lost over the skies of Germany, Austria, Italy, Romania and the other Balkan states, while on bombing missions against the Axis powers during World War II. Through flak filled skies, the men and bombers of the 459th Bomb Group were never deterred by enemy action from dropping their bombs onto targets of Hitler's war machine, in hopes of bringing the war to a successful end. Despite completing many missions over enemy territory, there were tragic consequences for many aircrews involved. In this book you'll read about the courageous acts of the men who endured freezing temperatures at high altitudes, flak barrages and enemy fighter attacks, not knowing whether or not they would survive to return to base. These airmen saw many of their buddies shot down or plummet to the ground with damaged parachutes. If their own plane was hit, what went through their minds as they frantically tried to escape the centrifugal forces keeping them pinned within the fuselage of their stricken aircraft? These are the stories, told in their own words, of the crews who were shot down and perished, or were taken prisoner to spend the remainder of the war in German POW camps, or those who evaded capture with the help of the brave partisans, who risked their lives to save U.S. airmen. This is very poignant reading about the airmen who fought, survived and paid the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom of the world.

Capt. Field E. Kindley, with the famous Eddie Rickenbacker, was one of America's foremost World War I flying aces. Like Rickenbacker's, Kindley's story is one of fierce dogfights, daring aerial feats, and numerous brushes with death. Yet unlike Rickenbacker's, Kindley's story has not been fully told until now. Field Kindley gained experience with the RAF before providing leadership for the U.S. Air Service. Kindley was the fourth-ranking American air ace; his exploits earned him a Distinguished Service Cross with Oak Leaf Cluster from the United States and a Distinguished Flying Cross from the British government. In February 1920, during a practice drill Kindley led, some enlisted men unwittingly entered the bombing target area. "Buzzing" the troops to warn them off the field, Kindley somehow lost control of his plane and died in the ensuing crash. Using arduously gathered primary materials and accounts of Great War aces, Jack Ballard tells the story of this little-known hero from the glory days of aerial warfare. Through this tale, an era and a daring flyer live again.
