The captivating story of the titans, engineers, and pilots who raced to design a safe and lucrative passenger jet. In Jet Age, journalist Sam Howe Verhovek explores the advent of the first generation of jet airliners and the people who designed, built, and flew them. The path to jet travel was triumphal and amazingly rapid-less than fifty years after the Wright Brothers' first flight at Kitty Hawk, Great Britain led the world with the first commercial jet plane service. Yet the pioneering British Comet was cursed with a tragic, mysterious flaw, and an upstart Seattle company put a new competitor in the sky: the Boeing 707 Jet Stratoliner. Jet Age vividly recreates the race between two nations, two global airlines, and two rival teams of brilliant engineers for bragging rights to the first jet service across the Atlantic Ocean in 1958. At the center of this story are great minds and courageous souls, including Sir Geoffrey de Havilland, who spearheaded the development of the Comet, even as two of his sons lost their lives flying earlier models of his aircraft; Sir Arnold Hall, the brilliant British aerodynamicist tasked with uncovering the Comet's fatal flaw; Bill Allen, Boeing's deceptively mild-mannered president; and Alvin "Tex" Johnston, Boeing's swashbuckling but supremely skilled test pilot. The extraordinary airplanes themselves emerge as characters in the drama. As the Comet and the Boeing 707 go head-to-head, flying twice as fast and high as the propeller planes that preceded them, the book captures the electrifying spirit of an era: the Jet Age. In the spirit of Stephen Ambrose's Nothing Like It in the World, Verhovek's Jet Age offers a gorgeous rendering of an exciting age and fascinating technology that permanently changed our conception of distance and time, of a triumph of engineering and design, and of a company that took a huge gamble and won.

"A lively, unexpected portrait of the jet-age stewardesses serving on iconic Pan Am airways between 1966 and 1975"--

Originally intended as a trainer, the Anglo-French Sepecat jet, equipped with the very latest in weapon-aiming and navigational equipment, eventually became the backbone of the RAF's tactical strike-attack and recce forces for a decade from the mid-1970s. In these pages, the Jaguar Boys - pilots, engineer and ground crew - tell of the aircraft's drawbacks and joys, their sadness at losses, and their pleasure at its development into a readily deployable and outstandingly capable fighter-bomber for the post-Cold War era. Then came the Gulf War which signaled the start of a hectic sequence of operational adventures and upgrades for the 'Boys' and seasoned veterans tell of action over Iraq and in the Balkans. One of the best-loved of RAF types, the Jaguar commanded a fierce loyalty and affection which shines through in these accounts of an aircraft that will live forever in the memory.

Jet's Wrath is book 3 and the finale of the War Choppers MC trilogy! I'll make her mine… no matter the cost. I never thought I'd lay my hands on the goods I'm sworn to protect. But I had to make an exception for her. She thought this would all go down on her terms, that she was in charge. Time to show her just how wrong she was. JET Overseeing these auctions lost its shine a long time ago. I'm an outlaw who takes what he wants, no questions asked. But apparently some men prefer the transaction. And as long as there are women willing to put themselves up, bare and afraid, on that stage… And underworld criminals eager to buy the rights to their bodies… Who am I to deny them? Then she stepped up to the auction block, wearing nothing but sheer terror. And I'd never wanted anything so badly in my life. She was a feast for the eyes. Every man in attendance wanted a bite of the main course. The price for a night with her skyrocketed, but I wasn't about to be outbid on my own turf. I paid whatever it took to own her. Now, she's mine. But pretty little Bree won't break so easily—and I love a girl who requires a firm hand. There's more to her than meets the eye. And something tells me it's not just the promise of money that keeps her on my lap… Straddling my bike… And bent over in my bedroom. BREE All I ever wanted was to pay down the student loans that were drowning me. Now, I find myself learning hard lesson after harder lesson as my desperation takes me deep into the den of an outlaw motorcycle club… the War Choppers. In the depths of the MC, I end up pinned beneath the sheets with a rogue biker as powerful as his name: JET. It only takes one taste of him to hook me. My auction was just supposed to be a one-night engagement. But it turns out Jet has deep pockets… And hands that refuse to stop exploring my body. I'm in over my head. But I just can't stop. And then Jet makes an offer too hot to ignore. Soon enough, I'm the human high card getting played time and again… and I'm practically begging him to throw me down on the table. Too bad this underworld is populated with insatiable alphas, and most of them don't take kindly to being outbid… I chose to start this ride with the biker. But he's determined to be the one to finish me.
