I Flew For MMA

An Airline Pilot's Life

By: Reg Adkins

Reg Adkins was born in Perth, Western Australia in 1926, went to Inglewood State School and after three years at Guildford Grammar School completed his education at the age of 16. From the time he was 11 years old his ambition was to be a pilot. Joining the RAAF in October 1944 he was too late for pilot training but spent four and a half years as an Armourer in the service he loved. Learning to fly at the Royal Aero Club of W.A. at Maylands Aerodrome in 1948 was the first step up the ladder towards achieving his ambition. Following an instructor rating and employment at the club for eighteen months he was well on his way when he stepped out of a Tiger Moth into a DC-3 to become one of the first post-war Aero Club trained pilots to be accepted into the airlines. In 1955 he joined MacRobertson Miller Airlines. After a career spanning 33 years, flying DC-3s, F.27s and F.28s all over W.A. and the Northern Territory and amassing a total of 21,000 hours he retired in 1986 at the top of the ladder as Senior Captain. To use his own words, “How could anyone have been so lucky?” I Flew For MMA is a rollicking story covering the massive change in Western Australia’s aviation history, from the days of post-World War Two flying unpressurised piston-engined DC-3s with virtually no navigation aids and the most basic of equipment and accommodation to the introduction of the comfortable and fast F.27 turboprop, then to the magical jet era and the state of the art F.28. Reg and his colleagues really were the trail-blazers of post-war flying up to the modern age. But I Flew For MMA is more than just a terrific historical record of flying in W.A. and the N.T. It lays bare the highs and the lows of being an airline pilot. The personalities, the family aspects, the industrial battles, and the emotional trials and tribulations that go with being responsible for the lives of the passengers in sometimes trying and stressful conditions, all the while being mindful of the desire to “get the job done”.

Secret Service

Political Policing in Canada From the Fenians to Fortress America

By: Reg Whitaker,Gregory S. Kealey,Andrew Parnaby

Secret Service provides the first comprehensive history of political policing in Canada – from its beginnings in the mid-nineteenth century, through two world wars and the Cold War to the more recent 'war on terror.' This book reveals the extent, focus, and politics of government-sponsored surveillance and intelligence-gathering operations. Drawing on previously classified government records, the authors reveal that for over 150 years, Canada has run spy operations largely hidden from public or parliamentary scrutiny – complete with undercover agents, secret sources, agent provocateurs, coded communications, elaborate files, and all the usual apparatus of deception and betrayal so familiar to fans of spy fiction. As they argue, what makes Canada unique among Western countries is its insistent focus of its surveillance inwards, and usually against Canadian citizens. Secret Service highlights the many tensions that arise when undercover police and their covert methods are deployed too freely in a liberal democratic society. It will prove invaluable to readers attuned to contemporary debates about policing, national security, and civil rights in a post-9/11 world.

Stephen A. Douglas, Western Man

The Early Years in Congress, 1844-1850

By: Reg Ankrom

It didn't take long for freshman Congressman Stephen A. Douglas to see the truth of Senator Thomas Hart Benton's warning: slavery attached itself to every measure that came before the U.S. Congress. Douglas wanted to expand the nation into an ocean-bound republic. Yet slavery and the violent conflicts it stirred always interfered, as it did in 1844 with his first bill to organize Nebraska. In 1848, when America acquired 550,000 square miles after the Mexican War, the fight began over whether the territory would be free or slave. Henry Clay, a slave owner who favored gradual emancipation, packaged territorial bills from Douglas's committee with four others. But Clay's "Omnibus Bill" failed. Exhausted, he left the Senate, leaving Douglas in control. Within two weeks, Douglas won passage of all eight bills, and President Millard Fillmore signed the Compromise of 1850. It was Douglas's greatest legislative achievement. This book, a sequel to the author's Stephen A. Douglas: The Political Apprenticeship, 1833-1843, fully details Douglas's early congressional career. The text chronicles how Douglas moved the issue of slavery from Congress to the ballot box.

87 and Still Wandering About

By: Reg Green

Reg Green is a pitch-perfect writer and these highly-entertaining essays allow us to accompany him as he hikes along mountain trails, braves raging rapids and makes his way through a remarkably rewarding life. Robert Kiener, senior writer, Readers Digest For nearly 50 years, I have reveled in the friendship of Reg Green. He is adventurous, funny and mischievous -- sometimes all at once. Reg is irrepressible. A transplanted Fleet Street journalist, nowadays you can find him -- if you can keep up -- hiking alone in the San Gabriel Mountains, near his home in Southern California. He sets a mean pace for a man of 87. But there is something else you must know about Reg: he is lifesaver. When his seven-year-old son, Nicholas, was murdered in Italy in 1994, Reg and his wife, Maggie, donated seven of Nicholass organs so others might live. Since then they have traveled the world, promoting organ donation, and many are alive as a result. Part of this book is about the extraordinary people Reg and Maggie met on their mission. But there is more: there are essays, op-eds and photographs. This is a dufflebag of a book, full of wonderful things -- full, if you will, of the essential Reg Green, bon vivant, humanitarian and writer. Llewellyn King, executive producer and host, White House Chronicle on PBS, and Huffington Post columnist Praise for Reg Greens previous books: I can think of no book that surpasses The Nicholas Effect [www.authorhouse.com] in opening the heart and changing attitudes for the common good throughout the world. Bud Gardner, editor, Chicken Soup for the Writers Soul The Gift that Heals (www.authorhouse.com): No one has done more for public awareness in organ donation in the entire world. Howard Nathan, president and CEO, the Gift of Life Donor Program

Killers, Crooks and Cons

Scotland's Crimes of the Century

By: Reg McKay

KILLERS, CROOKS AND CONS chronicles the astonishing crimes that horrified 20th-century Scotland. Taking each decade in turn, Reg McKay tells the true tales of the crimes that shook the nation, often the world. And these crimes will shock you still. From serial killers to armed mobsters and poisoners to cops who killed, KILLERS, CROOKS AND CONS takes you from Glasgow to Edinburgh, Aberdeen to Dundee and from the Highlands to the Borders. As well as well-known cases like the world's first serial killer Peter Manuel who was hanged for the murder of seven people, wealthy landowner Max Garvie whose kinky parties led to his murder and the strange case of the death of SNP activist Willie McRae, Reg McKay tells the story of many of Scotland's less well-known but equally fascinating cases - including a police showdown with armed members of the IRA, the murder of a wealthy socialite and a committed Christian who went to extraordinary lengths to cover up his part in the brutal murder of his wife. KILLERS, CROOKS AND CONS is Scotland's very own criminal record from a century of shame.

Airlines of the Jet Age

A History

By: R.E.G. Davies

Airlines of the Jet Age provides the first comprehensive history of the world's airlines from the early 1960s to the present day. It begins with an informative introductory chapter on the infancy of flight and the development of air-transport craft used during the First and Second World Wars, and then wings into the "first" Jet Age--the advent of jet airlines. It continues through the "second" Jet Age of wide-bodied aircraft, such as the Boeing 747 and DC-10, and closes with the introduction of the "third" Jet Age, which begins with the giant double-decked Airbus A380. This reference book is an unparalelled reference for aviation buffs, covering airlines around the globe and throughout the modern eras of human flight. The last book written by renowned airline historian R.E.G. Davies, Airlines of the Jet Age is the ultimate resource for information and insight on modern air transport.

Hidden in peaceable cities and towns across America, a staggering number of explosive devices ingeniously seeded over a dark span of twenty-five years are set to detonate during the next excruciating forty-eight months. The architect of this chilling abomination - the silver haired Thomas Paine - has surrendered himself to the FBI promising to cooperate on the curious proviso that he can handpick the cases investigative team. As the indiscriminate carnage begins, can Detective Sergeant David Song together with Paines selection of other seemingly unconnected individuals unravel what appears to be an old mans motiveless crime? Will the young teams ingenuity prove enough to solve the complex clues they have been set and get to the remaining devices in time? From a crematorium to a consulate; from a fast-food restaurant to the Hoover Dam as the dozens of targets slowly emerge, where will the bomber strike next? Time Trial is an amphetamine thriller that fizzes helter-skelter across the country in the wake of a terrorists swelling body count. Full of engrossing puzzles, twists and turns, along with some truly memorable characters, it is the ideal novel for people who dont mind accidentally missing their train station, and those content to read deep into the night as their partners sleep on unawares.

Ancient Egyptian Tomb Protection from Prehistory to the Pyramids

Securing Eternity

Ancient Egyptian Tomb Protection from Prehistory to the Pyramids

By: Reg Clark

The ancient Egyptian tomb evolved rapidly over a period of about 2,500 years, from a simple backfilled pit to an enormous stone pyramid with complex security arrangements. Much of this development was arguably driven by the ever-present threat of tomb robbery, which compelled tomb builders to introduce special architectural measures to prevent it. However, until now most scholarly Egyptological discussions of tomb security have tended to be brief and usually included only as part of a larger work, the topic instead being the subject of lurid speculation and fantasy in novels, the popular press, and cinema. In Securing Eternity, Reg Clark traces in detail the development of the Egyptian royal and private tombs from the Predynastic Period to the early Fourth Dynasty. In doing so, he demonstrates that many of the familiar architectural elements of the Egyptian tomb that we take for granted today in fact originated from security features to protect the tomb, rather than from monumental or religious considerations. Richly illustrated with more than 150 photographs and tomb plans, this unique study will be of interest to students, specialists, and general readers alike.
