Ernest K. Gann's Books

An episodic log of some of the author's more memorable hours aloft in peace and as a member of the Air Transport Command in war.

Island in the Sky, first published in 1944, is aviator Ernest Gann’s exciting, realistic novel of survival in the far north of Canada. The Corsair, a plane attached to the Army Air Transport Command during the Second World War, is forced to land after heavy icing of the wings makes the plane unflyable. The crew look to Dooley, the pilot for guidance in order to survive the frigid conditions, and from support bases and search aircraft, a rescue mission is mounted. Island in the Sky was the subject of a 1953 movie starring John Wayne. Publisher’s Note, Nov. 26, 2015: Note that a recent reviewer’s comment stating that the book ‘lacks many parts...including the entire completion” is not accurate. Our editions of Island in the Sky contain the full and complete text of the book as written by author Ernest Gann.

A story of power, passion, and brutal intrigue which sets forth all the glory and degradation of the Roman Empire. General Flavius Silva returns secretly to his capital and finds his only allies among the Christians and Jews he has persecuted.

This book shows the usefulness of the nucleus as a laboratory for learning about basic symmetries and fundamental interactions. It is aimed at advanced graduate students and beginning researchers, but should be useful to advanced researchers as well. Nuclear and particle physicists will find it particularly useful.

The story of the Roman siege of the Jews in the year 73 A.D.
