Synopsis BAC One-Eleven by : Stephen Skinner

In August 1963, one of the best-selling aircraft of British civil aviation, the BAC One-Eleven, took to the skies for the first time. With an order book for sixty aircraft, more than half were from the United States, which was an unprecedented situation for a British civil aircraft. The first project for the newly formed British Aircraft Corporation, the One-Eleven was wholly designed and built by BAC, and remained in production throughout the entire seventeen-year history of the organisation, performing strongly even when profits were at a low. After flying commercially in Europe for the last time in March 2002, here the One-Eleven is celebrated in style fifty years after its maiden flight. In this revised edition, Stephen Skinner combines original research with fascinating black-and-white and colour images, as well as detailed appendices, to consider what transpired in those five decades and the place the One-Eleven holds in British aviation history.

Synopsis Game by : Phil Truman

Who IS that Guy? Year in and year out the football powerhouse Hert City Trojans import a ringer to fuel their championship charge, but their luck is about to change. In the small backwater town of Tsalagee, first-year coach Donny Doyle knows the only way he can fulfill his promise to unseat the Hert City juggernaut, is to beat them at their own Game. But in his own recruit, the mammoth and powerful, yet troubled and ominous Leotis McKinley, Doyle finds more than he bargained for. Set in Oklahoma, author Phil Trumans character-rich novel Game spins an energetic tale around the intensity and weightiness of small-town high school football. And yet, amid the fast-paced drive of the story, lies an account of the human spirit struggling through adversity and finding victory. Readers of any age or gender, once the final word is read, will feel the triumph, honor, and glory that comes fromGame.

Synopsis The Crash of Delta Flight 723 by : Paul D. Houle

At the height of the Watergate scandal, Delta Flight 723 crashed into a fog-shrouded seawall at the end of Runway 4R at Logan Airport in Boston. While this incident and Watergate seemed unrelated at first, President Richard Nixon and his subordinates' actions during Watergate interfered with the ability of the National Transportation Safety Board to properly investigate the crash. It wasn't until three court cases, a federal investigation, congressional hearings, as well as a state investigation, when the true cause of the accident was exposed ten years later. This is also the story of Air Force Sergeant Leopold Chouinard and his incredible fight for survival. Chouinard survived the initial impact of the crash, only to suffer third and fourth degree burns on the majority of his body. Doctors fought against incredible odds to try and save Chouinard's life. For 134 days, Leo Chouinard defied all expectations as his doctors and nurses applied the latest advancements in burn treatments to save him from a non-survivable accident. They nearly succeeded. Through interviews with Chouinard's family, his physicians, and the NTSB's investigation, comes a story of corruption, determination, and vindication as well as the answer to what really caused that crash at Logan airport.

Synopsis The Wahatoya by : Gary L. Bridges

If you're a first-time reader of the Cuchara series, you might want to take a few minutes to read this short section and get caught up on the characters and their stories. Better yet, read The Cuchara Chronicles, the first novel of the series, and Out of Purgatory: the Chronicles Continue. If you're a faithful reader and just want to be reminded of who's who and their parts in the continuing story, I hope that the next few pages will whet your appetite for what comes next.

Synopsis Fingerprints Left Behind by : Heidi Bridges

Every one of us has a story to tell (a testimony) and a reason to praise God. You did not get this far in life on your own merit. You got this far by Gods Grace and Mercy. You got this far because God gave you what you did not deserve. Take a moment and look back at all the things in life you have done, (whether you got caught or not is not the importance), think about everything you have done, look at yourself in the mirror and be honest with yourself, then you will be able to see that you were given favor by God, and He did not give you what you deserved. If you still question whether God is real, look into the eyes of your children, your sisters, your brothers, your husband, your wife, breathe in and breathe out, if you woke up on this side of the dirt today, thats how you can know that God is real, you cannot sustain yourself, God sustains you. If you have read the poems in this book and you were affected by them, if they touched your heart and you dont know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, I encourage you to come into a relationship with him. Make God the Lord of your life, and watch things happen in your life that you cannot explain. . . . . . . . thats GOD!!!!!!!!
