Harpoon Missile vs Surface Ships

US Navy, Libya and Iran 1986–88

By: Lon Nordeen

An illustrated study of premier US anti-ship missile, the AGM/RGM-84 Harpoon, and its 1986 and '88 uses against Libyan and Iranian naval vessels. In this study, defence technology expert Lon Nordeen details the role played by the Harpoon missile in two Cold War flare-ups in the 1980s. The Harpoon was the first tactical anti-ship missile developed by the US Navy to provide a counter to the anti-ship missiles exported around the world by the Soviet Union and China. It was deployed on ships, aircraft, submarines and land vehicles and soon became the most widely used anti-ship missile system in the West, with 7,000+ having been produced since 1977, operated by the military forces of more than 30 nations. This exciting book explores the engagements of the Harpoon by the US Navy against its Libyan and Iranian adversaries, using original photographs and specially commissioned artwork to examine the naval systems and weapons employed by both counterparts. Drawing upon interviews with the US Navy A-6 Intruder crews that deployed the AGM084 variant of the Harpoon in 1986 and 1988, the author brings unique insight to his examination of these fascinating duels.

Dear Stellar

Letters on the art of being human

By: Lon Wong

Could there be a larger, more radiant life waiting for you? And yet, have you found yourself at times living a shadow of what your life could be, often bored and overwhelmed at the same time? You are not alone. If you’re ever feeling lost, exhausted, unsure, or merely meandering through life, these pages will help guide you back to centre. Written affectionately as letters from a father to a daughter, this book traverses life and love and hurt. It explores imagination, creativity, and purpose. It dives into acceptance, seeing differently, and the art of being fully present to your extraordinary life. Ultimately, it’s an invitation to being more human, more alive, and more you. Through stories and insights, Dear Stellar compassionately dives into: What if there was more to you than the stories our world offers up? How might your life expand as you shift to a state of wonder? What would you create if you couldn’t fail? How might you persist when nothing seems to work out? What does love beyond yourself look like? How might you be ever more yourself? Discover yourself as you glimpse inside the intimate relationship between a father and a daughter growing up together. This is for parents, adult children, and human beings who are looking for a more brilliant, more beautiful life.

The Real Mandrake the Magician

By: Linda Mandrake,Lon Mandrake

This biography not only gives you an idea of the brilliant career of Mandrake with over 100 show photos, but also provides a glimpse behind the scenes. What was it like to live on the road with small children while constantly performing magic shows? Mandrake's first son, Lon, at age 6 attended five different schools in grade one yet graduated from U.B.C. with a Bachelor of Science degree years later. Mandrake's performing partner and wife, Velvet, remembers: "One night we had a big show, with full orchestra and a packed house. At the end , the audience really liked us and they came up on stage and presented me with a bouquet of red roses. We took our bows and we felt like the toast of the town. Then back to the hotel room I went to relieve the sitter while Leon organized back stage. I rolled up my sleeves and thought what a contrast, as I spent the rest of the evening washing out dirty diapers in the bathroom sink." Then there was the time the elegant Vancouver hotel phoned Mandrake for help because another magician's doves had flown into the high chandeliers and no one could catch them. A banquet was planned for that evening and they were in a panic. Mandrake, with his great experience in magic, caught all the birds in no time. See the photo of Mandrake in Las Vegas in 1945 when the Last Frontier was one of only three casinos on the strip. Enjoy the adventures of Mandrake and the unusual people he met on the road. Meet the real Mandrake the Magician.
