There’s loads of advice (mostly learned the hard way), and some family hunting photos too.
Rick and Bubba’s Big Honkin’ Book of Huntin’ will help you tell the difference between road kill and a trophy buck (most trophy bucks do not have tire marks). It will help you pass the time in a hunting house while you’re waiting for that prize buck (do your taxes maybe). And it’ll tell you how to haul your game back to the house no matter what you’re driving (if you’re on a motorcycle, set the deer on the back like a passenger. Leather pants are optional.) This is one book good enough to mount in the living room! So whether you hunt deer, wild turkeys, quail, or just shoot at whatever’s movin’ in the bushes, Rick and Bubba’s Big Honkin’ Book of Huntin’ is for you. Get ready, aim . . . laugh!

A detailed, illustrated combat history of an aircraft described as a legend in its own time. The A-1 was designed for use in World War 2, yet proved so versatile and capable that it saw service in the Vietnam War some 20 years later.Nicknamed the ''flying dump truck'', the A-1 was a key component in naval air wings from the end of World War II into the 1960s, allowing the aircraft to play its part in the escalating conflict in Vietnam. Both A-1 attack and EA-1F airborne early warning aircraft saw action in Southeast Asia from 1960 through 1969, when the last examples were finally retired from carrier decks. The A-1s in particular bombed targets in both North and South Vietnam, despite the aircraft being highly vulnerable to enemy flak and fighters.Co-written by a two-tour Vietnam War combat veteran in the A-1, and featuring stunning profile artwork, this is the first book that focuses exclusively on the aircraft''s service in Vietnam. - Del 114 - Combat Aircraft

F2H Banshee Units
E-bokPDF, Engelska, 2022221 kr
Läs direkt efter köp
A fully illustrated study of the extraordinarily successful early-generation jet, the F2H Banshee, a frontline aircraft that served with 27 US Navy and US Marine Corps squadrons and three Royal Canadian Navy (RCN) squadrons.The F2H Banshee was an extraordinarily successful early-generation jet that outlasted both contemporary and more modern fighter types on the decks of the US Navy''s aircraft carriers in the 1950s. It served in a variety of roles and was a frontline aircraft for more than a decade in an era when jet fighters came and went with relatively short service careers. This book examines the entire service life of the F2H in the service of the US Navy, US Marine Corps and the RCN. Initially created as a replacement aircraft for McDonnell''s pioneering FH1 Phantom, the F2H served in the Korean War as a strike fighter, close air support aircraft, B29 escort, and photoreconnaissance aircraft, including the latter''s forays over the Soviet Union and China. Post service in Korea, the Banshee served as a carrier based nuclear strike aircraft, followed by its service as a defensive fighter for antisubmarine aircraft carriers. Filled with first-hand accounts and rare colour photographs, this is the engrossing story of the F2H Banshee, exploring its variety of roles in service and detailing the technology development that improved the aircraft''s capabilities over time. - Del 141 - Combat Aircraft

What if the problems we keep treating separately are actually connected?Why does it feel harder to start and grow a business in New Zealand? Why do communities feel different? Why does trust seem harder to build? Why are people working harder yet struggling to get ahead? And as artificial intelligence becomes part of everyday decision-making, how do we make sure people remain part of the conversation?Just the Cotter Pin is not an economics textbook, a political argument, or a book claiming to have all the answers.It is one New Zealander asking a lot of questions.Drawing on a lifetime across farming, transport, crane operation, business ownership, community organization's and the occasional boardroom, Rick Burgess explores the connections between business, community, productivity, capital, technology, trust and participation. The journey moves from truck cabs and local businesses to banking algorithms and artificial intelligence, asking what happens when thousands of individually sensible decisions combine to create outcomes that don't always make sense.Along the way, an AI named Atlas becomes another seat at the table—not to provide the answers, but to challenge assumptions, test ideas and sometimes ask a better question.At its heart, Just the Cotter Pin is about people: the people who build businesses, keep communities moving, take risks, volunteer, create opportunities and decide each morning whether it's still worth having another go.Because perhaps the biggest systems are held together by surprisingly small things.And sometimes all it takes is one missing cotter pin to realize how everything connects.Approximately 23,000 words.
