Training the pilots on either the Atlantic or the Pacific Ocean would have exposed the training ships to the danger of submarine attack, while requiring the escort of fighting ships that were needed elsewhere. It would also have involved arming and armoring the ships used for training. Commander R.F. Whitehead came up with an idea that solved all of these problems. He suggested doing the training on the protected waters of the Great Lakes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP SCXW101547689 BCX0\" style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, Calibri_EmbeddedFont, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif; color: #0f1111; margin: 0px; line-height: 18px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; padding: 0px;\" data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"OutlineElement Ltr  BCX0 SCXW101547689\" style=\"font-size: 12px; overflow: visible; cursor: text; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Web', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; position: relative; text-transform: none; font-weight: 400; color: #000000; direction: ltr; font-style: normal; clear: both; orphans: 2; widows: 2; margin: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: #ffffff; text-indent: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; padding: 0px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Paragraph SCXW101547689 BCX0\" style=\"vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-weight: normal; color: windowtext; font-style: normal; text-align: left; margin: 0px; background-color: transparent; text-indent: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-kerning: none; padding: 0px;\" paraeid=\"{f50aeecc-acca-4492-bc55-03635ca91149}{251}\" paraid=\"1603236166\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" class=\"TextRun SCXW101547689 BCX0\" style=\"text-transform: none; color: #0f1111; font: 10.5pt\/18px Calibri, Calibri_EmbeddedFont, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif; margin: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; padding: 0px;\" data-contrast=\"none\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW101547689 BCX0\" style=\"margin: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; padding: 0px;\"\u003eThe USS Wolverine and the USS Sable were chosen and became the only fresh water, paddle-wheeled, coal-fired aircraft carriers in the history of the world.

Schoolchildren showed their patriotism by raising money for war bonds to buy planes, tanks and jeeps. The locks in Sault Ste. Marie were considered a potential target of a German attack and were guarded accordingly. A spy ring in Detroit mobilized an unsuccessful attempt to help an escaped German POW flee the continent. A top-secret navy project, undisclosed until the 1990s, set aircraft carriers afloat on the Great Lakes. Compiling more than 180 images, including many never before seen, author Dan Mason unfolds the stories of Michigander grit and courage overseas and at home.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP SCXW123254569 BCX0\" style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, Calibri_EmbeddedFont, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif; color: #0f1111; margin: 0px; line-height: 18px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; padding: 0px;\" data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"OutlineElement Ltr  BCX0 SCXW123254569\" style=\"font-size: 12px; overflow: visible; cursor: text; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Web', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; position: relative; text-transform: none; font-weight: 400; color: #000000; direction: ltr; font-style: normal; clear: both; orphans: 2; widows: 2; margin: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: #ffffff; text-indent: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; padding: 0px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Paragraph SCXW123254569 BCX0\" style=\"vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-weight: normal; color: windowtext; font-style: normal; text-align: left; margin: 0px; background-color: transparent; text-indent: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-kerning: none; padding: 0px;\" paraeid=\"{f50aeecc-acca-4492-bc55-03635ca91149}{173}\" paraid=\"2037881171\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Paragraph SCXW123254569 BCX0\" style=\"vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-weight: normal; color: windowtext; font-style: normal; text-align: left; margin: 0px; background-color: transparent; text-indent: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-kerning: none; padding: 0px;\" paraeid=\"{f50aeecc-acca-4492-bc55-03635ca91149}{173}\" paraid=\"2037881171\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" class=\"TextRun SCXW123254569 BCX0\" style=\"text-transform: none; color: #0f1111; font: 10.5pt\/18px Calibri, Calibri_EmbeddedFont, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif; margin: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; padding: 0px;\" data-contrast=\"none\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW123254569 BCX0\" style=\"margin: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; padding: 0px;\"\u003eBy Daniel W.

Roosevelt called for the production of 50,000 military airplanes. He then drafted the president of General Motors, William Knudsen, to mobilize industry in the United States. The automotive companies were called upon to produce a massive fleet of bombers, as well as tanks, trucks, guns, and engines. By the Willow Run, a sleepy little creek near Ypsilanti, Michigan, Ford Motor Company built the world's most famous bomber factory, which was the ultimate manifestation of the automotive industry's role in building armaments during World War II. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP SCXW184749113 BCX0\" style=\"font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, Calibri_EmbeddedFont, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif; color: #0f1111; margin: 0px; line-height: 18px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; padding: 0px;\" data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"OutlineElement Ltr  BCX0 SCXW184749113\" style=\"font-size: 12px; overflow: visible; cursor: text; font-family: 'Segoe UI', 'Segoe UI Web', Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; white-space: normal; word-spacing: 0px; position: relative; text-transform: none; font-weight: 400; color: #000000; direction: ltr; font-style: normal; clear: both; orphans: 2; widows: 2; margin: 0px; letter-spacing: normal; background-color: #ffffff; text-indent: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; padding: 0px;\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Paragraph SCXW184749113 BCX0\" style=\"vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-weight: normal; color: windowtext; font-style: normal; text-align: left; margin: 0px; background-color: transparent; text-indent: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-kerning: none; padding: 0px;\" paraeid=\"{641d8976-eab4-4b60-a134-324d53aa4ea7}{68}\" paraid=\"753172570\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"Paragraph SCXW184749113 BCX0\" style=\"vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap; font-weight: normal; color: windowtext; font-style: normal; text-align: left; margin: 0px; background-color: transparent; text-indent: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-kerning: none; padding: 0px;\" paraeid=\"{641d8976-eab4-4b60-a134-324d53aa4ea7}{68}\" paraid=\"753172570\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" class=\"TextRun SCXW184749113 BCX0\" style=\"text-transform: none; color: #0f1111; font: 10.5pt\/18px Calibri, Calibri_EmbeddedFont, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif; margin: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; padding: 0px;\" data-contrast=\"none\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW184749113 BCX0\" style=\"margin: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; padding: 0px;\"\u003eBy Randy Hotton and Michael W.R.

Crewed by highly-educated and exceptionally motivated men, the 99th Fighter Squadron, led by Col Benjamin O. Davis (later joined by the 100th, 301st, and 302nd FS to form the 332nd Fighter Group), first flew ground attack missions in P-40s in North Africa and participated in the destruction and surrender of Pantelleria, off Sicily. Later, after the unit was equipped with P-51 Mustangs, the 'Redtails' began flying escort missions deep into Germany. This book will reveal the true story of the unit who rose above discrimination to achieve elite status.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP SCXW141771529 BCX0\" style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri, Calibri_EmbeddedFont, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(15,17,17); PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 18px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent\" data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp lang=\"EN-US\" class=\"Paragraph SCXW141771529 BCX0\" style=\"VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline; WHITE-SPACE: pre-wrap; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; COLOR: windowtext; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; FONT-STYLE: normal; TEXT-ALIGN: left; PADDING-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-kerning: none\" paraeid=\"{c1c9a07c-f202-413b-b358-56eb673877b8}{227}\" paraid=\"319450398\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"EOP SCXW141771529 BCX0\" style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; FONT-FAMILY: Calibri, Calibri_EmbeddedFont, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif; COLOR: rgb(15,17,17); PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; LINE-HEIGHT: 18px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent\" data-ccp-props='{\"201341983\":0,\"335559739\":160,\"335559740\":259}'\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"OutlineElement Ltr SCXW141771529 BCX0\" style='FONT-SIZE: 12px; OVERFLOW: visible; CURSOR: text; FONT-FAMILY: \"Segoe UI\", \"Segoe UI Web\", Arial, Verdana, sans-serif; WHITE-SPACE: normal; WORD-SPACING: 0px; POSITION: relative; TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0); PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; DIRECTION: ltr; FONT-STYLE: normal; PADDING-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; CLEAR: both; ORPHANS: 2; WIDOWS: 2; MARGIN: 0px; LETTER-SPACING: normal; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: rgb(255,255,255); TEXT-INDENT: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial'\u003e\r\n\u003cp lang=\"EN-US\" class=\"Paragraph SCXW141771529 BCX0\" style=\"VERTICAL-ALIGN: baseline; WHITE-SPACE: pre-wrap; FONT-WEIGHT: normal; COLOR: windowtext; PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; FONT-STYLE: normal; TEXT-ALIGN: left; PADDING-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; TEXT-INDENT: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; overflow-wrap: break-word; font-kerning: none\" paraeid=\"{26aff7d3-9d77-4da4-81a0-dcb9ba488a3b}{58}\" paraid=\"685590133\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-US\" class=\"TextRun SCXW141771529 BCX0\" style=\"TEXT-TRANSFORM: none; COLOR: rgb(15,17,17); PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; FONT: 10.5pt\/18px Calibri, Calibri_EmbeddedFont, Calibri_MSFontService, sans-serif; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent\" xml:lang=\"EN-US\" data-contrast=\"none\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW141771529 BCX0\" style=\"PADDING-BOTTOM: 0px; PADDING-TOP: 0px; PADDING-LEFT: 0px; MARGIN: 0px; PADDING-RIGHT: 0px; user-select: text; -webkit-user-drag: none; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent\"\u003eBy Christ Bucholtz.

Drawing on diaries, original archival documents, and once-secret intelligence reports—some released only recently—Larson provides a new lens on London’s darkest year through the day-to-day experience of Churchill and his family: his wife, Clementine; their youngest daughter, Mary, who chafes against her parents’ wartime protectiveness; their son, Randolph, and his beautiful, unhappy wife, Pamela; Pamela’s illicit lover, a dashing American emissary; and the advisers in Churchill’s “Secret Circle,” to whom he turns in the hardest moments.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"MARGIN: 0in 0in 8pt\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"FONT-SIZE: 10.5pt; COLOR: #0f1111; LINE-HEIGHT: 107%; mso-ascii-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-hansi-font-family: Calibri; mso-bidi-font-family: Calibri\"\u003e\u003cfont face=\"Calibri\"\u003eWritten by Erik Larson.

For militaries and security agencies—the main users of expensive drones—the UAV market is expanding as well; there were more than 20,000 military drones in use by 2020. Once the province of only a few militaries, drones now being built in Turkey, China, Russia, and smaller countries like Taiwan may be joining the military drone market. It’s big business, too—$100 billion will be spent over the next decade on drones. Militaries may soon be spending more on drones than tanks, much as navies transitioned away from giant vulnerable battleships to more agile ships.

Many American airmen were shot down, killed, or captured and taken to the infamous POW prisons in Hanoi.

Indeed, warships in particular proved to be too elusive for conventional medium-level bombing. High-level attacks wasted bombs, and torpedo attacks required extensive training. But as 1942 closed, the Fifth Air Force developed new weapons and new tactics that were not just effective, they were deadly. A maintenance officer assigned to a B-25 unit found a way to fill the bombardier’s position with four 0.50-cal machine guns and strap an additional four 0.50s to the sides of the bomber, firing forward. Additionally, skip-bombing was developed. This called for mast-top height approaches flying the length of the target ship. If the bombs missed the target, they exploded in the water close enough to crush the sides. The technique worked perfectly when paired with “strafe” B-25s.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eOver the first two months of 1943, squadrons perfected these tactics. Then, in early March, Japan tried to reinforce their garrison in Lae, New Guinea, with a 16-ship convoy – eight transports guarded by eight destroyers. The Fifth Air Force pounced on the convoy in the Bismarck Sea. By March 5 all eight transports and four destroyers had been sunk.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThis volume examines the mechanics of skip-bombing combined with a strafing B-25, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the combatants (B-25 versus destroyer), and revealing the results of the attacks and the reasons why these USAAF tactics were so successful.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eWritten by Mark Lardas, Illustrated by Jim Laurier, Published by Osprey Publishing, 2021.

Washington; Richard Nixon’s practiced use of chopsticks to pry open China; Jimmy Carter’s cakes and pies that fueled a détente between Israel and Egypt at Camp David.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHere Alex Prud’homme invites readers into the White House kitchen to reveal the sometimes curious tastes of twenty-six of America’s most influential presidents and the ways their choices affected food policy around the world. And the White House menu grew over time—from simple eggs and black coffee for Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War to jelly beans and enchiladas for Ronald Reagan and arugula for Barack Obama. What our leaders say about food touches on everything from our nation’s shifting diet and local politics to global trade, war, class, gender, race, and so much more.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003ePrud’homme also details overlooked figures, like George Washington’s enslaved chef, Hercules Posey, whose meals burnished the president’s reputation before the cook narrowly escaped to freedom, and pioneering First Ladies, such as Dolley Madison and Jackie Kennedy. As he weaves these stories together, Prud’homme shows that food is not just fuel when it is served to the most powerful people in the world. It is a tool of communication, a lever of power and persuasion, and a symbol of the nation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten by Alex Prud'homme. Published by Vintage, 2023.

During this period, four men exhibited unrivaled military prowess that led the United States victoriously through two world wars: George Patton, Douglas MacArthur, George Marshall, and Dwight Eisenhower; or, as bestselling author Robert O’Connell calls them, “Team America.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eO’Connell captures these men’s unique charisma as he chronicles the paths they forged—from their upbringings to their educations to their storied military careers—experiences that shaped them into majestic leaders who would play major roles in saving the free world and preserving the security of the United States in times of unparalleled danger. O’Connell shows how the lives of these men—all born within the span of a decade—twisted around one another like a giant braid in time. Throughout their careers, they would use each other brilliantly in a series of symbiotic relationships that would hold increasingly greater consequences. Without these men, O’Connell makes clear, the world we know would be vastly different.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWritten by Robert L. O'Connell. Published by HarperCollins, 2023.
