网曝天猫店富美金盛家居专营店坑蒙拐骗欺诈消费者
by David Gero
Terrorism is a real threat to aviation.
The thought of a ticking bomb hidden
in a suitcase, or a gun or knifewielding
assailant commandeering a
commercial flight, is enough to scare
even the most seasoned air traveller.
Since the first edition of this groundbreaking
book was published in 1997,
much new evidence has come to light
on a number of the hijackings
described, and more have taken
place since. In this fully revised and
updated second edition, David Gero
includes the latest information on
historic hijackings in all parts of the
globe, and a new chapter on the
cataclysmic events of 9/11.

Flightpath to Murder
by Steve Darlow
On 16 September 1944 an Allied
fighter pilot was shot down near
Arnhem, the day before Operation
Market Garden. He was captured,
beaten and then murdered. War
Crimes investigators brought four
Germans to trial. One was executed
but others involved were never caught.
The man who was executed had fired
the fatal shot ‘under orders’, but the
man who gave the order has not been
found – yet. This is the compelling
story of ordinary family men who
became cold-blooded killers, and of
Tempest pilot Bill Maloney who was in
the wrong place at the wrong time and
lost his life to them.

Faster Than Sound (2nd Edition)
The story of supersonic flight
by Bill Gunston OBE
This is the thrilling story of how test
pilots in the USA and UK first pierced
the sound barrier in the late 1940s.
Much has happened since then, and
as recently as 2003 thousands of farepaying
passengers were routinely
enjoying intercontinental air travel at
speeds of up to Mach 2. The author
describes in accessible style the rules
and technologies of supersonic flight,
ongoing developments in engine and
airframe technology, the age of
supersonic passenger transports like
Concorde, and advances in supersonic
fighter and bomber design.

Family at War
The Foljambe Family and the
Great War
edited by Jolyon T. Jackson
Royal Artillery officer Francis
Foljambe’s personal diary of his
experience on the Western Front forms
the basis of this unique account of
upper-class English family life in the
Great War. Other family letters and
diaries that have languished in an attic
since the Great War, unseen and
unknown, are also included. The war in
Europe was not the whole story and
what was happening at home was of
equal importance. There are letters
from the women of the family showing
many of their hopes and fears and
their bravery in the face of terrible
events to come.

De Havilland Tiger Moth Manual
An insight into owning, flying
and maintaining the legendary
British training biplane
by Stephen Slater
The de Havilland Tiger Moth biplane is
an iconic and instantly recognisable
aircraft. It is also one of a handful of
planes that attracts the widest
possible recognition outside the
specialist group. Of nearly 10,000 built,
it is thought that more than 1,000 Tiger
Moths still survive over six decades
on, and over half remain airworthy.
They are also affordable classic aircraft
at £40-50,000 for an airworthy
example. The authors take a close
