A Wing and a Prayer
“A compelling account of the air war against Germany” written by the navigator portrayed by Anthony Boyle in Apple TV’s Masters of the Air (Publishers Weekly). They began operations out of England in the spring of ’43. They flew their Flying Fortresses almost daily against strategic targets in Europe in the name of freedom. Their astonishing courage and appalling losses earned them the name that resounds in the annals of aerial warfare and made the “Bloody Hundredth” a legend. Harry H. Crosby—depicted in the miniseries Masters of the Air developed by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg—arrived with the very first crews, and left with the very last. After dealing with his fear and ...
Black Sun
Includes an afterword by the author. Harry Crosby was the godson of J. P. Morgan and a friend of Ernest Hemingway. Living in Paris in the twenties and directing the Black Sun Press, which published James Joyce among others, Crosby was at the center of the wild life of the lost generation. Drugs, drink, sex, gambling, the deliberate derangement of the senses in the pursuit of transcendent revelation: these were Crosby’s pastimes until 1929, when he shot his girlfriend, the recent bride of another man, and then himself. Black Sun is novelist and master biographer Geoffrey Wolff’s subtle and striking picture of a man who killed himself to make his life a work of art.

Summary of Harry H. Crosby's A Wing and a Prayer
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was flying on a practice mission at four in the morning. I was zipped in my flying coveralls, fleece-lined boots, and leather fleece-lined pants. I had my navigation kit, two bags, and five #10 grocery sacks. #2 The crew of Blakely’s plane was getting ready. I was in charge of the lead crew, which meant I was in front. I was not a lead navigator. On all my missions so far, I had been comfortable in a Tail-End Charlie plane. #3 When we were out of the takeoff pattern and climbing, I heard Doug and Blakely crawl to the nose compartment. I spread out my maps and equipment. I was so relieved that I took time to notice I had been sweating. #4 On the first leg, I was able to see every railroad, river, and town. I was able to navigate thanks to Forky’s help, and I was able to check our magnetic compass heading and our indicated air speed to calculate what the wind was doing to us.

Seeing With Eyes Closed: The Prose Poems of Harry Crosby
For the first time ever, this volume collects together all of Harry Crosby's published prose poems, including the complete texts for Crosby's Dreams 1928-1929, Sleeping Together, Aphrodite in Flight: Being Some Observations on the Aerodynamics of Love, and Torchbearer, plus selections from Chariot of the Sun and Mad Queen. Originally these Black Sun Press titles were limited edition books and have been out of print for years and available only to serious book collectors. Active in the late 1920s, Crosby was the first poet writing in English to produce a significant body of prose poetry. He synthesized a great deal of the cultural elements of post-World War I Europe: Symbolism, Dadaism and Surrealism. At the time, he was a bold experimenter in form and content. This book also includes essays by Robert Alexander and Bob Heman, plus an introduction by Gian Lombardo.
