Foreign and Domestic: Campaign II: Battle for the Middle States by Michael Mannske is a page-turning war-thriller that explores the high price of freedom and the cost of fighting the U.S. president himself to secure it! In this sweeping epic, it is the near future, and the UN has now become a superpower, brutally fighting the United States on its own soil. Ex-Air Force pilot John “Spiderman” Trent’s life is in constant danger, his beloved wife is forced into an internment camp, and the fate of the world is in grave jeopardy. Can Trent’s secret force of military patriots save the day—and the Constitution?

Friends, and teammates, Ltjg Pete Upton and Photographer's Mate 1st Class Steve Waterman created the book in 1969 and had it printed in Japan. They spent a month there putting it together and getting the printing done. Then Pete and Steve hitchhiked back to Subic Bay on U. S. Air Force planes to bring the books to the guys in Team 13.

Underwater Demolition Team 13 was commissioned in 1968 to help take up the slack and give UDT-12 and UDT-11 more time stateside during the Vietnam War. Approximately 20 men from UDT-21 (Little Creek) volunteered to serve a tour with UDT-13 to help “flesh out” the team, which was made up of new men from UDT Training; some were from SEAL One, others were reserves asking to be recalled to active duty.

Many Naval commands make cruise books of their trips. Cruise books are photographic and written records of events and people on specific deployments.

The 1969 UDT THIRTEEN cruise book brings together a collection of first-hand textual and photographic impressions of its WESTPAC deployment. The harmonizing of these significant experiences, each unique in attitude and point of view, best conveys the reality of the deployment, to be relived and enjoyed in all its color, drama, and poignancy in the years to come.

U.S. NAVAL AIR SUPERIORITY: Development of Shipborne Jet Fighters 1943-1962
by Tommy H. Thomason

Non-fiction, History, All Things Military

$44.95 plus $6.95 shipping and handling

Specialty Press
 

For the first time, U.S. Naval Air Superiority profiles the turbulent design and development stage of the Navy’s carrier-based jet fighter program. From the successful designs, such as the Fury, Banshee, Crusader, and Phantom II, to the also-rans, like the Fireball, Demon, Pirate, and Cutlass, the Navy’s needs are measured against contractor and political demands and the limits of the evolving engine and aerodynamic technologies of the day.

 

REVIEW:

 

"If you buy only one book on early USN jets in your lifetime, this is the one to get. It is that good." -Modeling Madness, reviewed by Scott Van Aken, February 2008
