Fundamentals of Global Air Transport Geography

"A People's History of SFO is a must-read for students and scholars of urban history--and for anyone who has ever trekked through an airport terminal. In tracing the development of San Francisco International Airport, Eric Porter strikes an ideal balance between a broad view of regional development and a finely detailed evaluation of how Black activists, suburban homeowners, local policymakers, and visual artists interpreted SFO as both a mirror that reflected the Bay Area and a hammer with which to shape their distinct urban visions. I know of no other book that explores as wide a range of subjects with as great an attention to detail."--Daniel Widener, Professor of History, University of California, San Diego "With A People's History of SFO, Porter delivers a rich and dynamic history of the San Francisco Bay Area and an inclusive account of airports as agents of empire and modernity."--Eric Avila, author of The Folklore of the Freeway: Race and Revolt in the Modernist City "A People's History of SFO situates the airport in entangled ecologies of social justice, racial capital, and globalizing city and environmental processes. Newly engaging the airport as a vital site where struggles for justice play out in complex and contradictory ways, Porter indicates its importance for both deep histories and uncertain futures."--Marina Peterson, author of Atmospheric Noise: The Indefinite Urbanism of Los Angeles "An innovative, wide-ranging study of the San Francisco International Airport, A People's History of SFO illuminates not only the history of the Bay Area, but the complicated international flow of travel, migration, and imperial relationships that connect the region to a world far beyond its borders. Attuned to everything from how SFO transformed the salt marsh and tidelands on which it was built, to its history as a site of immigration, activism, labor struggles, government-funded infrastructure development, corporate air commerce, and public art, Porter's book suggests we cannot begin to fully understand the networked character of modern life without learning more about airports."--Mia Bay, author of Traveling Black: A Story of Race and Resistance "We tend to think of airports as spaces we pass through, culturally and geographically peripheral to the cities they serve. Porter shows us, however, that SFO is a place with a history, shaped by the same forces as the rest of the Bay Area and beyond. In this fascinating book, the airport is not the conduit--it's the destination."--Natalia Molina, author of A Place at the Nayarit: How a Mexican Restaurant Nourished a Community

From bestselling author and British astronaut Tim Peake, an inspirational human history of space travel, from the Apollo missions to our future forays to Mars. The Right Stuff for a new generation. THE PERFECT GIFT FOR ANY SPACE TRAVEL ENTHUSIAST ____________________________________________________________________ 'This book is brilliant - once in a blue moon. A book for the whole family.' Chris Evans, Virgin Radio 'The most wonderful book ... Tim Peake is a historian and encyclopaedia of space.' Rory Stewart 'An extraordinary book. For anyone - even if you're not interested in Space. If you're interested in human stories and the human character - this is delightful.' BBC Breakfast 'A fascinating, detailed, playful book drawn from extensive research - Peake met seven Apollo astronauts, Russian cosmonauts and various other space technicians - as well as his considerable personal experience. Lifts the lid on what space is like: the dedication and sacrifice; the politics and pantomime; the practicalities and the peril; the glory and fame; the adjustment back to normal life.' iPaper 'A thrilling human history of space' Daily Mirror 'The bible of space travel' Chris Moyles, Radio X ____________________________________________________________________ As seen in the major TV series Secrets of Our Universe with Tim Peake. Only 656 people in human history have left Earth. In Space: The Human Story, astronaut Tim Peake traces the lives of these remarkable men and women who have forged the way, from Yuri Gagarin to Neil Armstrong, from Valentina Tereshkova to Peggy Whitson. Full of exclusive new stories, and astonishing detail only an astronaut would know, the book conveys what space exploration is really like: the wondrous view of Earth, the surreal weightlessness, the extraordinary danger, the surprising humdrum, the unexpected humour, the newfound perspective, the years of training, the psychological pressures, the gruelling physical toll, the thrill of launch and the trepidation of re-entry. The book also examines the surprising, shocking and often poignant stories of astronauts back on Earth, whose lives are forever changed as they readjust to terra firma. Publication of the book comes on the eve of NASA's plans to return to the moon, fifty years after an astronaut last walked on the lunar surface. In 2024 the Artemis II mission will send four astronauts to orbit the moon. In 2025 Artemis III will send the first woman and the first person of colour to step on the lunar surface. What will separate these upcoming moonwalkers from the legendary Apollo crews? Does it still take a daring-do attitude, super-human fitness, intelligence, plus the 'Right-stuff' - a fabled grace under pressure? And how will astronauts travel even further - to Mars and beyond? Space: The Human Story reveals all.

The Human Story

Space

This is the astounding story of the six female aviators who battled to become the first woman to cross the Atlantic Ocean by plane.
In the early 20th century, the dream of crossing the Atlantic by air was as potent as putting a man on the moon would be 50 years later. But many people believed women too fragile and lacked the skills to endure the gruelling conditions of flying long distances.
In Atlantic Furies, Midge Gillies uncovers the stories of Elsie Mackay, Lady Anne Savile, Frances Grayson, Ruth Elder, Amelia Earhart, and Mabel Boll. These courageous, rule-breaking women risked everything to prove that women could fly the Atlantic. Some had lied to their families in order not to be stopped, others duped the press about their intentions and, ultimately, three lost their lives, but each pushed the boundaries of the possible.
Atlantic Furies celebrates the bravery, panache, and drive of these trail-blazing aviators, who showed the world that it wasn't just men who could conquer the skies.

Brought to life by the personal accounts of six Navy pilots and one British POW, this is the history of the U.S. Navy airstrikes on Japanese-held Hong Kong.

Commander John Lamade started the war in 1941 a nervous pilot of an antiquated biplane. Just over three years later he was in the cockpit of a cutting-edge Hellcat about to lead a strike force of 80 aircraft through the turbulent skies above the South China Sea. His target: Hong Kong. As a storm of antiaircraft fire darkened the sky, watching from below was POW Ray Jones. For three long years he and his fellow prisoners had endured near starvation conditions in a Japanese internment camp. Did these American aircraft, he wondered, herald freedom?
 
Trawling through historic records, Steven K. Bailey discovered that the story of the U.S. Navy airstrikes on Japanese-held Hong Kong during the final year of World War II had never been told. Operation Gratitude involved nearly 100 U.S. Navy warships and close to a thousand planes. Target Hong Kong brings this massive operation down to a human scale by recounting the air raids through the experiences of seven men whose lives intersected at Hong Kong in January 1945: Commander John D. Lamade, five of his fellow U.S. Navy pilots and the POW Ray Jones. Drawing upon oral histories, diary transcripts, and U.S. Navy documents, this book expertly narrates the intertwined experiences of these servicemen to bring the history to life.

Discover the daring life story and astonishing adventures of Captain Eric 'Winkle' Brown - Britain's greatest-ever pilot 'Winkle Brown's astonishing adventures make for fascinating reading' SUNDAY TIMES'[A] thumping great biography by Britain's leading aviation historian' DAILY MAIL, 'BOOK OF THE WEEK'*MARITIME MEDIA AWARDS BEST BOOK NOMINEE*--Small in stature but immense in reputation and talent, there was more to Eric 'Winkle' Brown than met the eye. From shooting down Luftwaffe bombers from the deck of a carrier in the Battle of the Atlantic and narrowly escaping death when his ship was torpedoed, to accumulating a never-to-be repeated litany of world records and firsts as a test pilot, his unparalleled flying career saw him take the controls of over four hundred different kinds of aircraft - more than any other pilot in history. A rival to Chuck Yeager and hero to Neil Armstrong, by the time of his appearance on Desert Island Discs' 1000th episode Winkle had become a legend in his own lifetime, and by his death, a national treasure. But despite his enormous fame, there have always been mysteries at the heart of Winkle's story. Now, drawing on previously unseen documents and unfettered access to Winkle's own personal archive, Paul Beaver uncovers the complex and enigmatic man behind the legend - the real story of Britain's greatest pilot. A story Winkle insisted could only be told after his death . . . ----------'Compelling, fascinating and frequently jaw-dropping. A brilliant and revelatory biography' JAMES HOLLAND'Beaver recounts the story of a man he regarded as a mentor in unshowy but fascinating detail, and restores a British hero to his rightful place' OBSERVER'An excellent biography' PATRICK BISHOP, DAILY TELEGRAPH'The extraordinary story [of] a fearless pilot and decorated war hero.
