Whitney Straight made his own way in life. Born in New York with a silver spoon in his mouth, he would earn his living in the boardrooms of some of Britains greatest companies. He dropped out of Cambridge to become an outstanding racing driver and run a team of Maseratis across Europe and Africa.A qualified pilot at 17, he revolutionised aircraft design for the enthusiast, and his extraordinary efforts in the Second World War saw him rise from Pilot Officer to Air Commodore. He survived the invasion of Norway, a crash-landing in occupied France and a year as a PoW to emerge with an MC, DFC and US Legion of Merit.After the war, Straight rejected Churchills proposal of a career in politics and instead became CEO of BOAC, transforming it into a national airline to be proud of. At Rolls-Royce, he railed against a company dominated by engineers who made poor businessmen, and played a founding role in the separate paths of the aero and auto businesses that are still seen today. An incurable romantic, he could never imagine being married to anyone other than his wife, yet he had numerous relationships.Paul Kenny has been granted unfettered access to Straights diaries and photograph albums, and has scoured archives on both sides of the Atlantic, leaving no stone unturned in pursuit of the full story of one of the twentieth centurys greatest mavericks.

KC-390: Power, Cooperation and Deterrence in South America reveals how a Brazilian aircraft has become a key player in power projection, regional cooperation and strategic deterrence on the South American continent.The result of the operational experience and academic rigor of Lieutenant Colonel Bruno Americo Pereira, this book delves into the multifaceted role of the KC-390 Millennium - from logistical transport to in-flight refueling, from support for humanitarian missions to a deterrent presence on sensitive borders.Based on the concepts of Hard Power, Soft Power and Smart Power, the authors propose a clear, current and strategic reading of Brazilian defense policy, connecting theory and practice at one of the most challenging moments in regional security.More than a book on military technology, this book is an invitation to reflect on the future of national defense and Brazils role as a cooperative power in South America.

The Consolidated B-24 Liberator was a four-engined medium-high wing heavy bomber: it adopted a type of wing known as the Davis wing, narrow and elongated, which became its distinctive feature together with the double oval-shaped fin.The Liberator was one of the most important American bombers: it ended the war as the American warplane built in the greatest number in history. In fact, more than 18,000 examples were built. It was, together with the B-17 Flying Fortress, the flagship bomber of the United States Army Air Force.The most famous mission of the Liberators was against the oil fields of Ploesti, Romania, on August 1, 1943, which ended in disaster due to the incorrect sequence of the attack waves.The B-24 was widely used in World War II, where it served in every branch of the American armed forces, as well as in several Allied air forces and navies. It was used in every theater of operations and, during its missions, shot down approximately 2,600 enemy fighters. Along with the B-17, the B-24 was the mainstay of the U.S. strategic bombing campaign in the Western European theater: thanks to its range, it proved useful in bombing operations in the Pacific, including the bombing of Japan.

The aeroplanes of the Shuttleworth Collection span the first 40 years of aviation from the 1909 Blériot to the late 1940s; these rare and often unique machines are still regularly flown and displayed over the aerodrome at Old Warden in Bedfordshire. This book, written by the Collections pilots, past and present, puts the reader in the cockpits of these amazing machines as they fly over the English countryside. THE SHUTTLEWORTH COLLECTION is a private collection begun by Richard Shuttleworth pilot, racing driver, self-taught mechanic and heir to the Old Warden Park Estate in Bedfordshire. He had a passion for rescuing old aircraft and vehicles, which he brought to the Estate to restore and maintain. Richard died in 1940 whilst flying with the RAF; after the war his mother set up a charity to preserve his heritage.

In July 1994, almost thirty years ago, something happened that could have changed the human perception of our world and our position in the universe forever - an event so powerful and unimaginable that it threatened to shake the very foundations of our knowledge, our history and our future.That summer month, a gigantic object, larger than the Earth, suddenly became visible. It suddenly appeared near the planet Jupiter, as if it had been hiding in the shadows of the cosmos until then. This object - which I can only refer to as the "Black World" - appears in our reality like a predator moving from the darkness of night into the bright lights of an alien realm.
