Three in Thirteen

The Story of a Mosquito Night Fighter Ace

By: Roger Dunsford,Geoff Coughlin

This “incredibly engaging and deeply personal” story of World War II pilot Joe Singleton “draws the reader into the dangerous world of night fighting” (Manhattan Book Review). Joe Singleton was an unlikely hero. A junior manager at a paints and varnish company at the outbreak of war, he was surprised to discover he had a hidden talent for flying. Despite RAF Fighter Squadrons crying out for replacements after the carnage of the Battle of Britain, Joe was posted to the rapidly developing world of night fighting. He flew first Defiants, then Beaufighters, finding himself in the thick of the very earliest stages of ground-controlled interception and airborne radar engagements. His skills finally began to bear fruit when piloting a Mosquito, and he took part in several successful missions. But the pinnacle came on the night of March 19, 1944: scrambling to intercept a big German raid on Hull, he located and shot down a Junkers 188, then went on to shoot down two more, all in the space of thirteen dramatic minutes. He and his navigator survived the crash-landing that ensued, and he went on to be feted as a national hero. Three in Thirteen is a unique sortie-by-sortie account of his journey from bewildered recruit to celebrated expert, illustrated with extracts from Joe’s RAF logbook and unpublished photographs and illustrations. Roger Dunsford’s extensive experience as an RAF pilot brings a vivid immediacy to Joe’s experiences, combined with astute analysis of the planes, the tactics, and the events of that fateful night. “Inspirational and thoroughly engaging—a true hero’s story.” —Books Monthly

Out of Calamity

Stories of Trauma Survivors

By: Roger Rees

All the people in these stories are unsung heroes. Their stories are true. To honour their privacy, most of the individuals profiled bear fictitious names; a few are composite characters. They have suffered severe trauma, the consequences of which have affected every aspect of their lives, as well as those of family and friends. They demonstrate great, if not superhuman, courage and resilience and never seek or expect applause. Over time, day-by-day, they endeavour to cope with loss, bid to reclaim lost skills, and unheralded, make significant contributions to society. 'Out of Calamity' stories and portraits are told in language that is realistic but also poetic, and demonstrate heroic dimensions even when people appear overwhelmed. Superbly crafted writing that is often raw but also eloquent, spare and affecting, these stories are gems replete with insight and compassion.

Eden to Armageddon

By: Roger Ford

The definitive and epic account of World War I in the Middle East. The Great War in the Middle East began with an invasion of the Garden of Eden, and ended with a momentous victory on the site of the biblical Armageddon. For the first time, the complete story of this epic, bloody war is now presented in a single, definitive volume. In this inspired new work of history, Roger Ford describes the conflict in its entirety: the war in Mesopotamia, which would end with the creation of the countries of Iran and Iraq; the desperate struggle in the Caucasus, where the Turks had long-standing territorial ambitions; the doomed attacks on the Gallipoli Peninsula that would lead to ignominious defeat; and the final act in Palestine, where the Ottoman Empire finally crumbled. Ford ends with a detailed description of the messy aftermath of the war, and the new conflicts that arose in a reshaped Middle East that would play such a huge part in shaping world affairs for generations to come.

Strikes and Lock Outs

Strikes and Lock Outs

By: Roger Blanpain

The occurrence of strikes and lock-outs is an important feature of labour relations in industrialized market economies. These two types of concerted activity by industrial workers and civil servants are the direct result of the conflict of interest and ideology that is inherent in industrial relations. This conflict evolves around the questions of power distribution and group autonomy vis--vis the capital owners and the State. While the phenomenon of strikes and lock-outs has existed ever since the beginnings of industrial society, there have been some significant changes in the nature and occurrence of strikes and lock-outs in the past few decades. These changes and new trends that may be detected in today's forms of industrial action is one of the themes discussed in this volume of the Bulletin. To name two: An increased heterogeneity and specialisation within the labour force. The direction of industrial action against the general public, the consumers, rather than against the capital owners and the growing importance of the service sector employees within the working population. Developments such as these have an impact on labour relations and the accompanying conflicts such as strikes and lock-outs, as you will discover reading this new Bulletin.
