Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Fortune Favours the Bold is the true story of Comair Ltd, one of aviation´s greatest successes in the most demanding but exciting marketplaces. By mastering "the art of bonding brand promise and delivery", Comair´s 63 unbroken years of profit are exceptional in an industry plagued with volatility and troubles. This book traces its role in African air commerce and beyond, ultimately operating the first British Airways franchise outside Europe. The book has its share of bizarre and amusing moments too. It debunks a number of myths and mysteries. It is heavily illustrated and interspersed with capsule commentaries on life in southern Africa over the past 65 years, often coinciding with some of the region's most tumultuous and significant periods. It covers events from World War II campaigns in East and North Africa through post-war development, rising political movements, international isolation, regional conflict and cooperation to evolving democracy. Through it all, Comair's history reflects the diversity of African experience. This book is one of the best records of an aviation group ever produced. It will be of interest to aviation and military historians, students of business, commercial law and political science, owners and operators of aircraft and anyone drawn to Africa's mystique.

American Sailor

More Adventures to Go with the Job

By: Donald Johnson

There is nothing glamorous about war! If I had to choose one word to describe war, it would be BORING. War is a LOT of waiting. During WWII in the Navy you did the same routine day after day after day until you did your routine like a bunch of zombies. -from "Life Aboard the Sara During WW II" by Vern Bluhm From World War II through Operation Desert Storm, American Sailor: More Adventures To Go With The Job tells exciting stories of a sailor's life at sea during war and peace. Compiled from the experiences of author Donald Johnson and other U.S. Navy sailors, American Sailor delivers a fascinating glimpse into the everyday exploits of men at sea. Johnson includes riveting accounts of ship collisions, port calls, sailor humor, and personal experiences from World War II, Korea, Vietnam, and the Middle East. Patriotic stories, stories from Navy Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, and tributes are also included. With such adventures as the Battle of Guadalcanal and the Battle of Okinawa as seen through the eyes of a sailor on the USS Saratoga and those of a naval intelligence specialist in Operation Desert Storm, American Sailor demonstrates the uniqueness of life in the Navy.

Lighter Than Air

A Navy Airship Pilot in World War II & the Crash of the K-34

By: Donald Palmer Venton

In 1942 twenty-one-year-old Donald P. Venton joined the United States Navy to fight for his country during World War II. Pursuing his dream to become a Naval Aviator, he trained with determination and dedication, serving in the U.S. Navy's LTA program, created to counter Hitler's U-Boats that were devastating American shipping. This true and fascinating story is taken from Venton's own journals and illustrated with his person photographs and drawings chronicling his journey from enlistment through flight school and on to becoming a member of a Combat Air Crew patrolling the Brazil and Massachusetts coastlines. Included is the previously untold story of the crash of the K-34, as an ice storm shreds the airship, dropping the crew into the stormy North Atlantic. Donald Venton's story offers a mix of excitement, knowledge, humor and inspiration to the reader and is a wonderful addition to the historical, naval or LTA library."--Back cover.

(but Sometimes It Got a Little Scary and Dangerous Out There!)

By: Donald L. Johnson

For He commanded and raised the stormy wind, which lifted up the waves of the sea.
