Arodo Sr 196
* Origin and combat history of Germany's Arado Ar 196This superb monograph is devoted to the Ar 196, a shipboard reconnaissance aircraft, which became the standard aircraft of the Kriegsmarine throughout World War II.Loved by its pilots for its superior handling both in the air and on the water, the A-1s were added to coastal squadrons, and continued to fly reconnaissance missions and submarine hunts into late 1944. Two notable operations were the capture of HMS Seal, and the repeated interception of RAF Armstrong-Whitworth Whitley bombers. Although it was no match for a fighter, it was considerably better than its Allied counterparts, and generally considered the best of its class. Owing to...
Logic and Scientific Methods
This is the first of two volumes comprising the papers submitted for publication by the invited participants to the Tenth International Congress of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science, held in Florence, August 1995. The Congress was held under the auspices of the International Union of History and Philosophy of Science, Division of Logic, Methodology and Philosophy of Science. The invited lectures published in the two volumes demonstrate much of what goes on in the fields of the Congress and give the state of the art of current research. The two volumes cover the traditional subdisciplines of mathematical logic and philosophical logic, as well as their interfaces with computer science, linguistics and philosophy. Philosophy of science is broadly represented, too, including general issues of natural sciences, social sciences and humanities. The papers in Volume One are concerned with logic, mathematical logic, the philosophy of logic and mathematics, and computer science.
One of Thousands: A Navigator in the European Air War
Jules "Julie" Lasner volunteered for service after the United States entered World War II, and he was trained as a navigator in a B-17 Flying Fortress. Lasner flew twenty-seven missions over occupied Europe during the final phases of a strategic bombing campaign against Germany, dodging the Luftwaffe's anti-aircraft defenses in the cold, wintry skies. Based on interviews with Lasner as well as his wartime correspondence, this book offers a glimpse into his experiences as a member of the 8th Air Force. Along with thousands of others, he pounded the Third Reich around the clock in a four-engine bomber over the last eight months of the war. This account offers an insider's look into the state of the German air defenses as well as some of the effects of the strategic bomb offensive. Lasner's story shows that one person's experiences and decisions affect many people, and it also reveals how he was affected by total war. Go beyond the statistics that so often dehumanize conflict with One of Thousands.

Notes on the Trapp Family in Austria
This study is about the real Austrian Trapp family until 1939. Using scores of contemporaneous sources, this fully referenced book for the first time presents Maria Trapp's own family: the Kutscheras, the Reiners, and her foster family, the Kramers. Moreover, the first chapter critically analyzes Maria's tales about her childhood and youth up to her wedding with Georg (von) Trapp. The second chapter covers Georg, his family, his activities in war and business, as well as the family choir started in 1934. Several misconceptions, from Georg having been a baron to his alleged anti-fascism, get corrected here, too. The third chapter overturns the central myth of the Trapp family story: there is ...
Raven's Nest
Paul Maier never wanted to fly, preferring the comforting aroma of an old book over the pungent smell of aviation fuel. Yet no son of a senior Luftwaffe commander ever has much of a say when it comes to the choice of career, particularly in the midst of a global war. Fresh out of flight training, Paul now finds himself the pilot of “Dora”, an aging bomber assigned to the massive air fleet tasked with destroying the Royal Air Force and paving the way for a German invasion of the British Isles. Pressed by the demands of a ruthless commander, Paul and his comrades are repeatedly hurled into the teeth of British defenses. Only Dora seems immune to the carnage, protected by uncanny luck and the increasing skills of her young crew. Yet with other German bombers falling like ninepins under the guns of British fighters, Paul begins to harbor doubts about the possibility of victory and, ultimately, the nature of the Nazi regime he until now so dutifully served.
