Book DC-3 A Legend in Her Time Bruce McAllister

DC-3 A Legend in Her Time

A 75th Anniversary Photographic Tribute

by Bruce McAllister

PRESS RELEASE

January 3, 2010

In his seventh aviation history book, Bruce McAllister brings together the largest collection of photographs of the world’s most legendary aircraft–the DC-3. The book’s release is timed to the aircraft’s 75th anniversary–hundreds of DC-3s are still in service today, almost 75 years after the first one rolled off the production line in 1935.

With seventeen chapters covering many of the civilian and military operations in which the DC-3 has participated, McAllister has gathered some 250 high quality photographs from around the world. A rich history surrounds the DC-3. In the 1930s, the DC-3—as the aircraft of choice for the world’s major air carriers—helped spur the tremendous growth in airline travel. In World War II, General Dwight D. Eisenhower identified the DC-3/C-47 as one of the keys to the Allies’ victory. The aircraft even served as a potent gunship in the Vietnam conflict.

DC-3 A Legend In Her Time captures this history, bringing this workhorse to life for readers through its particularly dramatic photographs.

My Lady The Tail Dragger 1 front page

My Lady The Tail Dragger

by Andre Balt

In this 83 page book the author writes in 23 chapters amongst other adventures, of his ordeal in the war torn countries of Mozambique, and the Sudan, in the mid 80s, and early 90s whilst doing famine relief, to the rebel torn destinations. Stories of parking the DC-3 at the end of a God-forsaken runway, finding out they were standing on a mass grave. He includes a true story of a lone refugee, running and jumping, into the open door, whilst they took off, and this poor soul, still hanging outside in the slipstream 400 feet in the air.

It has stories of the amazing capabilities of this Methuselah of the air, the famous, and near indestructible DC-3 Dakota. He carries on telling us how this beautiful aircraft, with jet-propeller engines, took him and his passengers to the South pole safely. True stories, reassuring us all, that the DC-3 is the most respected airplane ever built, and she will forever be remembered fondly by those that have ever got close to her.

My Lady The Tail Dragger is exclusively available as an e-book  www.abook2read.com
