"Check My Six": So You Want to Be a Navy Pilot John Schleter
Naval Aviation Cadets strive to win the coveted Navy “Wings of Gold,” at Pensacola, Florida. Two of the premier cadets, CHUCK CAPP and PETE PERVIS, complete opposites who dislike each other intensely, compete to see who will be number one. Humor, action, and tragedy weave a story of suspense that climaxes in a final deadly showdown. NavCads learn to fly the “Navy Way.” From solo to combat formation maneuvers, tensions increase. Fatalities occur, cadets resign, and some are washed out. It is not a program designed for the weak of heart.

Come along, and live the life of a NavCad. Put yourself in their shoes and enjoy a story of exuberance, and dedication to a goal that few persons are able to experience.

38th & Wallace: (and Other Nearby Places) Andrew J. Gusich
Andy was born in Chicago at the height of the Great Depression. He never had a lemonade stand. But what he did have was an indomitable spirit that saw him ravage each day upon awakening. To be sure, he did not always succeed in life: failing to become an altar boy and sadly disappointing a loving grandmother; and failing himself when he did not win over his beautiful classmate, Mary. However, he was a gifted athlete who excelled in baseball and boxing. He cared deeply for his family and sought ways to lessen their inherent burden. He eagerly learned from those he held in high regard; their values soon became his values. The qualities of caring and sharing were commonplace. They became bonded for life during a tumultuous time in the history of this great country. Softcover [$14.95] Write Review Read Reviews ISBN: 1-4137-9569-2, 88 pages, 6 x 9

395 and a Wake Up Terry W. Sako
To paraphrase an old speech from an assassinated president: “Ask not what your country can do for you…just get your butt out there and sacrifice.” This is a tale of a young lad, named Bobby Murphy, who did just that. As soon as he reached that magic number of eighteen, when all boys become men, he beat feet to the recruiting station and inked his way into the United States Marine Corps! That was his first mistake. His second was to be shipped off to Vietnam, where he was introduced to the vagaries of guerrilla warfare. The enemy be the civilians and the civilians be the enemy. Kiddies to oldsters, each can…and will…blow you away. Toss in racial tensions between black and white soldiers—only to be kicked into overdrive by the murder of Martin Luther King.

6 Officers, 2 Lions, and 750 Mules Yanky Fachler
Between 1915 and the establishment of the state of Israel in 1948, six soldiers played a critical role in the re-emergence of a Jewish military ethos after a gap of almost 2,000 years. All six were officers in the British army. All six were Zionists. All six believed that Jews had to organize themselves into a coherent and proactive military force. And all six fought against institutionalized anti-Semitism on the part of the British army authorities. Three of the soldiers were Christians: Irishman John Henry Patterson and Englishmen Richard Meinertzhagen and Orde Wingate. Three of the soldiers were Russian-born Jews: Vladimir Ze’ev Jabotinsky, Joseph Trumpeldor and Eliezer Margolin. 6 Officers, 2 Lions, and 750 Mules traces the contribution of these officers to the creation of a military doctrine that directly helped the newborn state successfully withstand and defeat the invading Arab armies in 1948.
