Crash of TWA Flight 260
This moment-by-moment account of a major airplane crash on a beautiful and treacherous mountainside puts the reader at the pilot's side, describing the flight, its catastrophic ending, and the aftermath. At 7:05 a.m. on February 19, 1955, TWA Flight 260 took off from the Albuquerque airport for a short flight to Santa Fe. To avoid flying over the Sandia Mountains, the plane's approved air route was a dogleg running north-northwest from Albuquerque, then east-northeast into Santa Fe.

Militärischer Widerstand von außen
Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs dienten tausende Österreicher – meist Geflohene vor dem Nationalsozialismus – im Kriegsapparat der USA. Neben der US-Armee hatten vor allem die Geheimdienste, wie das subversiv agierende „Office of Strategic Services“, österreichische Exilanten in ihren Reihen. Österreicher kämpften in amerikanischen Divisionen und nahmen als Wehrmachtsdeserteure an riskanten Geheimdiensteinsätzen teil. Der Widerstandskampf im Exil wurde unter dem Dach der amerikanischen „Anlehnungsmacht“ und oft mit hohem persönlichem Risiko geführt. Florian Traussnig liefert eine Zusammenschau des Forschungsstands und wirft biographische Schlaglichter auf die Beiträge, die die Vertreter des „anderen Österreich“ im Kampf gegen Hitler-Deutschland und bei der Befreiung ihres ehemaligen Heimatlandes geleistet haben.
