Synopsis In Hostile Skies by : James M. Davis

James "Jim" Davis piloted a B-24, as part of the 8th Air Force, on nearly thirty missions in the European Theatre during World War II. He flew support missions for Operations Cobra and Market Garden and numerous bombing missions over occupied Europe in the summer and fall of 1944, attacking enemy airfields, airplane factories, railroad marshalling yards, ship yards, oil refineries, and chemical plants. While he and his crew survived without serious injuries, they witnessed the destruction of many of their friends' planes and experienced serious damage to their own plane on several occasions.

Synopsis Hostile Skies by : David Morgan

The gripping personal story of a Falklands Fighter Ace. David Morgan, RAF officer and poet, relives his experiences during the Falklands War in this vivid memoir. On secondment to the Royal Navy when the Argentine invasion of the Falklands began and personally credited with shooting down two Argentine Skyhawks as well as enemy helicopters, Morgan was later awarded the Distinguished Service Cross. Here he recounts his involvement in the first British air-strike against Argentine positions around Port Stanley and describes being first on the scene when enemy jets bombed the landing ships SIR TRISTRAM and SIR GALAHAD. Including the author's heartfelt letters sent back to England to close family and friends, HOSTILE SKIES dramatically recalls what it was really like to fight, live and love during the Falklands War.

Full Throttle When hurricane hunter Kate Hargrove met hotshot test pilot Dave Scott, everything started heating up. But it was a warming trend cautious Kate was determined to ignore at all costs, because Dave's love-'em-and-leave-'em reputation was a label she found all too familiar. Dave had had an eye for the ladies to be sure, but that was in the past. And once he saw the sexy, gorgeous researcher assigned to be his partner, he knew that he was meant to be a one-woman man. Now, if he could only convince the skittish Kate that appearances could be deceiving…. Wrong Bride, Right Groom When her flighty sister decided she couldn't go through with her wedding, Abby Davis reluctantly agreed to give the groom-to-be the bad news. And when the prospective groom was assigned to active duty, his supervisor in the air force, Pete O'Brian, offered to make his excuses to his comrade's jilted bride. So, of course, Pete greeted Abby with a kiss! Abby was horrified at first…talk about surprise! She had expected to find her sister's spurned fiancé. Instead, Pete was looking more and more like the right groom—for her!
