When Billy Mitchell returned from WWI, he brought with him the deep-seated belief that air power had made navies obsolete. However, in the years following WWI, the U.S. Congress was far more interested in disarmament and isolationist policies than in funding national defense. For the military services this meant lean budgets and skeleton operating forces. Billy Mitchell’s War with the Navy recounts the intense political struggle between the Army and Navy air arms for the limited resources needed to define and establish the role of aviation within their respective services in the period between the two world wars. After Congress rejected the concept of a unified air service in 1920, Mitchell and his supporters turned on the Navy, seeking to substitute the Air Service as the nation's first line of defense. While Mitchell proved that aircraft could sink a battleship with the bombing of the Ostfriesland in 1921, he was unable to convince the General Staff of the Army, the General Board of the Navy, the Secretary of War, the Secretary of the Navy, or Congress of the need for an independent air force. When Mitchell turned to the pen to discredit the Navy, he was convicted by his own words and actions in a court-martial that captivated the nation, and was forced to resign in 1925. Rather than ending the rivalry for air power, Mitchell’s resignation set the stage for the ongoing dispute between the two services in the years immediately before WWII. After Mitchell’s resignation, the rivalry for air power between the two services resurfaced when the Navy's plans to procure torpedo planes for the defense of Pearl Harbor and Coco Solo were brought to the attention of the Army. The book concludes with a description of the events surrounding the Air Corps' abysmal performance at Pearl Harbor and Midway followed by a critical assessment of how the development of aviation was pursued by the Army and the Navy after WWII.

I want to tell about the man I have most loved, respected, and admired-my father. In many respects, he wasn't unusual. I had to learn how to love, respect, and admire. His integrity was, in my perception at least, absolutely and essentially intact. His kindness, generosity, gracious judgment, empathy, love of the good and of the vulnerable, capacity to forgive and trust again, eagerness to rejoice with those who rejoice and to grieve with those who grieve, all such qualities of mind and heart that might be considered weak and naive, all of it, worked against his success. Maybe so. I loved him for it, though I did not always rise to his example. God's blessing, I pray, on those of us who try.

When singer, musician, and broadcast journalist Malka Marom had the opportunity to interview Joni Mitchell in 1973, she was eager to reconnect with the performer she'd first met late one night in 1966 at a Yorkville coffeehouse. More conversations followed over the next four decades of friendship, and it was only after Joni and Malka completed their last recorded interview, in 2012, that Malka discovered the heart of their discussions: the creative process. In "Joni Mitchell: In Her Own Words," Joni and Malka follow this thread through seven decades of life and art, discussing the influence of Joni's childhood, love and loss, playing dives and huge festivals, acclaim and criticism, poverty and affluence, glamorous triumphs and tragic mistakes . . . This riveting narrative, told in interviews, lyrics, paintings, and photographs, is shared in the hope of illuminating a timeless body of work and inspiring others.

ALEXA MITCHELL is not the typical 14-year-old, she is the savior of the realm of Mankind. At least that is what BLUR a supernatural being from the realm of Aleris expects her to believe. But this is the last thing Alexa wants to hear. She is still on the road to her own self-discovery, so how in the world can she save millions of people? With magic Blur suggests, but there's just one problem, magic doesn't exist in Alexa's realm. Or at least she thought it didn't. Through Blur she discovers that magic not only exists, it was forbidden to be used in her realm ages ago. Still Blur and the powers that be of Aleris, expect Alexa to not only believe in magic but to awaken the use of magic in the realm of Mankind. Alexa feels overwhelmed by this unusual burden of expectation, but at the same time her curiosity to know more about her new destiny is too powerful to overlook. She soon discovers that she not only has the gift of magic within her, she could possibly be one of the most powerful wielders in the universe. As she embarks on this magical journey with Blur, they form a friendship that is key to helping Alexa connect with her powers. But her limits are tested as she goes up against creatures she never knew existed, and dark forces that can only be found in her worst nightmares. To save her vulnerable realm, she must stop the creatures of her nightmares from crossing over to establish dominion over its inhabitants. Just when she thought that was more than enough to deal with, she is informed that there is not much time left before her realm is breached. And in addition to learning how to connect with the magic within her, she also needs to find a time lord, a brute, a healer and a speedster to go on this journey with her. But convincing people that they are chosen to be a part of a magical journey in a realm without magic is a tough act to sell.
Flown exclusively by the US Marines, the PBJ was one of those rare examples of an air force type being procured by the navy due to its ability to do exactly the job that was required of it. Bought as a land-based patrol bomber for operations in the Atlantic and Pacific, the PBJ (Patrol, Bomber, North American) was kitted out to hunt down submarines as well as surface vessels. Identical to its air force counterpart, except for its ability to lay mines, deploy depth charges and launch torpedoes, some 706 PBJs were delivered to the Marine Corps from 1943-45. This book outlines the aircraft's history and technology, and takes a closer look at the men who flew it.

Thomas Mitchell's essays on how to live well were completed in 1913, and reflect a clear mind and a good education, but also confidence about the world and society that were about to be shattered. No doubt some thoughts he expressed would have been impossible to reaffirm five years later. As we commemorate the centenary of terrible and unprecedented conflict, his intelligent voice from the past gives us an insight into how people thought before it and what was lost. This does not mean that Mitchell's ideas are not also an individual's, but it is now the combination of freshness and distance in this previously unpublished prose that makes it so compelling. His style also says much about the education system in Scotland and rural Aberdeenshire in particular, and his background was very similar to that of Lewis Grassic Gibbon. Though they undoubtedly had different politics, they would both have agreed on the importance of society.
