RF-101 Voodoo Units in Combat
Author: Peter E. Davies
Publisher: Bloomsbury Publishing
ISBN: 147282914X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 97
Book Description
McDonnell's F-101 Voodoo series was in many ways the most interesting of the 'Century Series' fighter programmes of the 1950s, partly because the type's design and intended mission changed radically during a 40-year career. Originally designed as a fighter-bomber, it was converted to be a reconnaissance aircraft, serving alongside the U-2 and RF-8 Crusaders during the Cuban Missile Crisis and the Vietnam War. Although it gained a reputation as a difficult aircraft to handle, the jet's supersonic speed and newly-developed camera suite enabled it to conduct vital low-altitude photo-reconnaissance missions over heavily-defended target areas. In combat, the RF 101 was usually 'first in-last out' for strike missions. This made it a ready target, with a solo aircraft flying straight and level to gather target photo evidence at low-altitude offering enemy gunners plenty of opportunity to shoot the Voodoo down. This study tells the combat stories of this extraordinary aircraft, highlighting the difficulty of the missions on which it was sent and the courage of its pilots.

Pages : 313
Book Description
Rachelle Toussaint’s world is turned upside down when her twin brother, Michie, dies from a fall from a balcony, forcing her to return home to New Orleans and take control of the family’s cruise line. Rachelle does not believe her brother’s death was an accident or a suicide. She believes he was murdered...and the prime suspects reside under the roof of the family’s opulent, historic mansion...Rachelle’s vicious stepmother and two stepsisters. The spice in the gumbo is the pregnant stepsister Amanda’s engagement to Charles-Michel Toussaint. However, in accordance with the family will, the child she carries cannot inherit the family fortune. The fortune can be inherited only through the legitimate bloodline...in this case, Rachelle. Michie had physical and mental problems resulting from the time he spent in the Army as a captive in the Middle East, and Rachelle wonders if Amanda’s child actually belonged to Michie. Handsome and charming Lieutenant Marcus Laborde is in charge of the investigation and is captivated by the beautiful Rachelle. His efforts to discover how Michie died are sidetracked by a series of slaughters of young prostitutes, victims of a slaver network. Headstrong Rachelle finds the police procedures too slow. Forensics proves Michie was under the influence of exotic drugs when he died. Rachelle learns the drugs may have come from the Shadow Bayou Voodoo traiteur Mirabelle Lebeau. Rachelle forms an unlikely alliance with Mirabelle to solve the mystery of her brother’s death and suspects her cruise line is being as a pipeline for the slavers to move women about the country. Rachelle fears family members may be involved with the slavers, and her snooping puts her own life in danger. As Rachelle wades deeper into the family swamp, long dead secrets emerge, and she discovers the people she trusted are capable of heinous crimes.

Blood Lines
Author: Sheila Marie Contreras
Publisher: University of Texas Press
ISBN: 0292782527
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 233
Book Description
2009 — Runner-up, Modern Language Association Prize in United States Latina and Latino and Chicana and Chicano Literary and Cultural Studies Blood Lines: Myth, Indigenism, and Chicana/o Literature examines a broad array of texts that have contributed to the formation of an indigenous strand of Chicano cultural politics. In particular, this book exposes the ethnographic and poetic discourses that shaped the aesthetics and stylistics of Chicano nationalism and Chicana feminism. Contreras offers original perspectives on writers ranging from Alurista and Gloria Anzaldúa to Lorna Dee Cervantes and Alma Luz Villanueva, effectively marking the invocation of a Chicano indigeneity whose foundations and formulations can be linked to U.S. and British modernist writing. By highlighting intertextualities such as those between Anzaldúa and D. H. Lawrence, Contreras critiques the resilience of primitivism in the Mexican borderlands. She questions established cultural perspectives on "the native," which paradoxically challenge and reaffirm racialized representations of Indians in the Americas. In doing so, Blood Lines brings a new understanding to the contradictory and richly textured literary relationship that links the projects of European modernism and Anglo-American authors, on the one hand, and the imaginary of the post-revolutionary Mexican state and Chicano/a writers, on the other hand.

A.O. 13.0.0.0.0 - Bloodlines
Author: Steven Benedetti
Publisher: Trafford Publishing
ISBN: 1425148654
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 557
Book Description
The Nazca were fearful of their new religious leader; so fearful, in fact, that Coetz went about his business with little consideration of his human followers. The few times that anyone dared speak up ended quickly with the death of everyone involved. Such are the stories of the Clerques; Ligon, Plantru, Coetz, Varin and Bolac. For almost 5,000 years they have lived on our planet, causing the destruction of many of our greatest civilizations, and the deaths of untold thousands. Now, in the 21st century, a new threat from these invaders has arisen, a threat that promises the extinction of mankind. The first installment of the A.O. 1.0.0.0.0.0 trilogy, Bloodlines introduces the reader to the Pentagram Nexus, a group of five humans brought together after almost five thousand years to confront the Clerques, a cadre of synthetic beings sent by the ruthless Imperium to prepare Earth and the human race for enslavement or extinction. With alternative explanations for past historical events, including Vlad Dracul, the Nazca of Peru, the Mayan civilization of southern Mexico and the Anasazzi of the U.S. Four Corners area, Bloodlines takes the reader from those ancient worlds to the present, where the Nexus, with the help of a band of otherworld rebels, prepares to confront the extermination of the human race; and, then into a darkly shrouded future when their success or failure will become all too evident on December 21, 2012, the day that, according to the Mayan calendar, time will end.
