Guy Mayfield was the Station Chaplain at RAF Duxford during the Battle of Britain. His diary is a moving account of the war fought by the young pilots during that summer of 1940, providing a unique and intimate insight into one of the most pivotal moments in British history. Frequently speaking to pilots who knew they may not survive the next 24 hours, Mayfield’s diary provides a vivid account of the fears and hopes of the young men who risked their lives daily for the defense of Britain. Interspersed with photographs of the men and contextual narrative by IWM historian Carl Warner, this book brings a compelling and direct new perspective to this historic battle.
It Begins, It Ends, It Ends, It Begins is a collection of sketches describing some of the author, Judy Richter’s, memories of life on and off her one-hundred-acre farm in Bedford, New York. Coker Farm is home to Richter’s avocation, as well as her vocation. For over forty-five years Richter has been in the horse business, training young riders and horses for show competition. The farm is a “still point in a turning world” for her family and friends. Though many now are grown and gone, they keep in touch on the Internet and Facebook! Having been actively involved in the sport for nearly half a century, Richter has seen many changes, but she feels “the more things change, the more they remain the same,” thanks to the abiding generosity of the horses. To spend her life in the company of these noble creatures is indeed a blessing.
