Terry Ravenscroft
Air Mail: Letters from the World`s Most Troublesome Passenger

2008 y.
Publisher: Michael O`Mara Books
Description: Terry Ravenscroft is one of the world`s most troublesome passengers, if his letters are to be believed. But are they? He is probably the only man who has ever requested the recipe for an airline`s lasagna or wanted to enjoy his flight with an inflatable rubber woman sat on his knee. Prepare to meet the man who must have his diet of stir-fried mulberry leaves accommodated and the man who left his false teeth on a flight and is sure he recognized them on a later flight - in a flight attendant`s mouth. Ravenscroft`s correspondence tackles travel annoyances like excess baggage charges alongside more surreal letters, such as the one starting out asking an Australian airline if they offer an authentic Australian experience (for instance, Australian cuisine or in-flight movies) which then moves on to the question of at what age a baby is safe from being swallowed by a dingo.

Air Monopoly : How Robert Milton`s Air Canada Won - and Lost - Control of Canada`s Skies

2004 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionNo Canadian company today holds a higher profile than Air Canada, few CEOs possess the recognition factor of its chief, Robert Milton. But in 2004, their notoriety is for all the wrong reasons: in less than four years under Milton’scommand, Air Canada has gone from unrivalled industry giant to a wounded behemoth seeking bankruptcy protection. Was it mismanagement, government interference, a radically changed global environment, or just plain bad luck that brought down Canada’s national flag carrier? Air Monopoly answers the question with a penetrating examination of a glamorous, high-risk business that attracts more than its share of dreamers and egotists. Milton, a life-long aviation enthusiast, took the controls at Air Canada at age thirty-nine in 1999. After a legal, political, and public-relations free-for-all, Milton also took over Canadian Airlines. Then came a global economic downturn, the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and… [detailed...]

Air Support for Patton`s Third Army

2003 y.
Publisher: —
Description: Book DescriptionAs the United States Third Army?s tanks moved through Avranches, no one, not even the Third Army?s commander, Lieutenant General George S. Patton, could have foreseen that it was the start of one of the most successful offensives of World War II?an offensive that received a great deal of help from the air. As Patton later wrote to the chief of the Army Air Forces, `For about 250 miles I have seen the calling cards of the fighter-bombers, which are bullet marks in the pavement and burned tanks and trucks in the ditches.` This book covers the units in the Ninth Air Force, which gave close air support to the Third Army, and the Third Army?s campaign in France from August to November 1944, with special emphasis on how support from the air helped the Third Army continue pushing toward the German border. The difficult logistics of the operation are discussed in detail: Both the Ninth Air Force and the Third Army were hurt by a lack of materiel,… [detailed...]

For all readers interested in this domain, the Fact Book aims to be not just a reference but a starting point for further reflection.

Air Transportation: A Management Perspective

Publisher: Brooks Cole
Description: Publication of the fifth edition of Air Transportation: A Management Perspective will extend its life into the 21 st century, unquestionably the most remembered period in the history of aviation. The aviation industry entered a new era as a result of the terrorist attacks of September 11.2001 and the Iraqi crisis of 2003. General aviation, including business aviation, and commercial aviation have been faced with record financial losses, resulting in massive organizational restructuring. No other time in history has proven to be as difficult as the current situation. Air carriers have experienced a record number of bankruptcies. Aircraft manufacturers have scaled down production, and airlines have reduced frequency on routes or eliminated service to destinations entirely. Employees at all levels have been furloughed or permanently terminated from their positions. It was estimated that the aviation industry would face positive growth two years after the events of 9/11. However, those… [detailed...]

Air War Over Russia

2003 y.
Publisher: Ian Allan Publishing
Description: If World War 1 was characterized, certainly on the Western Front, by the endless miles of trenches and the remarkable lack of mobility in the front line during more than four years of war, those military strategists who expected a similar war of attrition in any second conflict were to be confounded. World War 2 was to witness the triumph of offense over defense, with the awesome power of tank armies and air forces deployed to devastating effect. Whilst the French may have perceived their Maginot Line as impregnable, its rapid breaching in the spring of 1940 emphasized how far German military thinking had developed as opposed to that amongst its potential opponents. The theory of Blitzkrieg - lightning war - had developed during the interwar years, but its true potential was only to be revealed in the autumn of 1939 when the German forces swept into Poland. For the next three years, in all theaters of the war, the German forces proved supreme, as their superiority of equipment,… [detailed...]

Description: Book Description Sailing toward dawn, and I was perched atop the crow`s nest, being the ship`s eyes. We were two nights out of Sydney, and there`d been no weather to speak of so far. I was keeping watch on a dark stack of nimbus clouds off to the northwest, but we were leaving it far behind, and it looked to be smooth going all the way back to Lionsgate City. Like riding a cloud. . . . Matt Cruse is a cabin boy on the Aurora, a huge airship that sails hundreds of feet above the ocean, ferrying wealthy passengers from city to city. It is the life Matt`s always wanted, convinced he`s lighter than air, he imagines himself as buoyant as the hydrium gas that powers his ship. One night he meets a dying balloonist who speaks of beautiful creatures driftingthrough the skies. It is only after Matt meets the balloonist`s granddaughter that he realizes that the man`s ravings may, in fact, have been true, and that the creatures are completely real and utterly mysterious.
