John Oliver uses original German and British documents largely ignored as sources by previous writers to tell the complete story of the V1 flying bomb, in memory of the men and women who died during World War II collecting information about it, or manufacturing it, or attacking its launching sites, and for those who lived under the fear of it. It is also the story of the personnel of Flakregiment 155 (W), the only unit to fire the flying bomb, mainly conscripts who ended up by chance in a very hazardous posting. The V1 was so dangerous to fire and so unpredictable in its early trajectory that it was banned from being launched on German soil and the regiment suffered continual casualties - many of them fatal - simply in the line of daily duty. Leading it was a man who deserves to be recognised: Oberst Max Wachtel, an intelligent and able man, proud of his men and what they achieved, rising above all the hardships that came with working with a top secret and brand new weapon. And as it all comes to an end, the revelation of perhaps the most incredible love story of World War II.

If you thought the Dardanelles and Gallipoli campaign was fought just on the land and sea, think again!When the Royal Navy went to war in the Dardanelles in 1915, they took elements of their own air force with them. First to go was the new seaplane carrier 'Ark Royal', closely followed by the famous No 3 Squadron RNAS, led by the charismatic Commander Charles Rumney Samson, DSO, still carrying a price on their heads from their activities against the Germans in France and Belgium.3 Squadron RNAS had got the hang of aerial warfare. Spotting for the guns? Simple, with reports going back to the guns by W/T. Reconnaissance? No problem! They could produce aerial maps, not just photos of particular targets. Bombing? Here was the squadron that had pioneered the art and never sent an aircraft into the air without a bomb to drop on anything military that caught their eye. Air combat? Of course. It was expected of all two-seaters and any single-seater with a gun fitted.Here is the story of these intrepid men and their colleagues on 'Ark Royal' and a second carrier, 'Ben-my-Chree', with its torpedo-carrying seaplanes. Plus Major Eugene Gerrard, RMLI, and his experienced No 2 Squadron RNAS, fresh from France. And the Navy's newly-invented balloon ships, spotting for both the Army and the Navy. Meet HMS 'Manica' and HMS 'Hector', the curse of the Turkish Army - from drawing board to sailing in six short weeks! Not to mention the SS airships, which had their first taste of action in the Dardanelles.The dash and spirit of Nelson and Drake is here in the air as well as on the sea!

How to Build a Skateboard Ramp...You might need a crane. This book is a father and son memoir of building skateboard ramps and skateparks in Hawaii and California. My 15 year old son and I attended the Santa Barbara, California premiere of a skateboarding movie, The Search for Animal Chin, May 5, 1987. We saw the movie and moved right into it, joining the professional skateboarding world of Powell-Peralta. The book chronicles the evolution of our ramp-building, culminating in the construction of Powell's SkateZone skatepark at the company factory in 1990, and the fabulous SkateStreet skatepark in Ventura, 1997.This book's not about the stars of the skateboard world but they're in it; it's more about the behind-the-scenes players like myself and Johnny and all the characters we worked and played with over the years, building skateboard ramps and skateparks. I've got thousands of photographs from those years and I'm in the process of creating a free website as a companion to the book. It will take me months to complete it, but in the meantime, the partially completed site is up and running. www.antigravitydevicecompany.com

"Deep in a northern Russian forest of jade and brown, far from any hint of civilization, Valaam Monastery sinks into the seasons of the year as it has for a thousand years before. . . ." So begins the story of John Oliver, a young evangelical American on a journey of discovery-a journey that leads him to an ancient Russian monastery, a place of peace and a place of struggle. For on Valaam, he encounters Orthodox Christianity and is reminded that the Christian life is not for the faint of heart. And on Valaam, the treasure of stillness requires a fierce guarding. Foreword by Fr. Jonah Paffhausen, abbot of the Monastery of St. John of Shanghai and San Francisco, in Northern California.Excerpts from book reviews:Lyrically, eloquently, and with great wisdom, this book speaks to the soul. Part spiritual autobiography, part penetrating description of what Orthodox spirituality can and should be, John Oliver's words evoke in the reader's mind and heart a longing for God, at once fierce and tender. "Great art, great architecture," he says, "always leads us inward and upward." This marvelous book does no less. It leads us inward and upward, until, for a moment at least, we even touch heaven. -Fr. John Breck, Author, professor of biblical interpretation and ethics at St. Sergius Orthodox Theological Institute in ParisTouching Heaven is a lovely book, quiet and contemplative, and full of peaceful revelations. -Frederica Mathewes-Green, Author of Facing East, National Public Radio commentator This is a gripping and finely written account of what drew John Oliver into the deeper waters of Christianity and made him an Orthodox Christian. -Jim Forest, Author of Praying with Icons, lecturer
