Seizing on the challenge to motivate his men, General George Kenney promoted what they would come to call the "race of aces" as a way of boosting the spirits of his war-weary command.What developed was a wild three-year sprint for fame and glory, and the chance to be called America's greatest fighter pilot. The story has never been told until now.Based on new research and full of revelations, John Bruning's brilliant, original book tells the story of how five American pilots contended for personal glory in the Pacific while leading Kenney's resurgent air force against the most formidable enemy America ever faced.The pilots -- Richard Bong, Tommy McGuire, Neel Kearby, Charles MacDonald and Gerald Johnson -- riveted the nation as they contended for Rickenbacker's crown. As their scores mounted, they transformed themselves from farm boys and aspiring dentists into artists of the modern dogfight.But as the race reached its climax, some of the pilots began to see how the spotlight warped their sense of duty. They emerged as leaders, beloved by their men as they chose selfless devotion over national accolades.Teeming with action all across the vast Pacific theater, Race of Aces is a fascinating exploration of the boundary between honorable duty, personal glory, and the complex landscape of the human heart."Brings you into the cockpit of the lethal, fast-paced world of fighter pilots . . .

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】The Secret Family of Spies A True Story of One Family’s Shocking Involvement as Nazi and Japanese Spies During WWII, Inspired by Christine Kuehn's Account【電子書籍】[ Collins Doug J. ]

＜p＞A single letter shatters decades of silence and pulls one family into a reckoning they never expected. What begins as a strange inquiry soon unfolds into a deeply unsettling truth. Beneath a carefully preserved family narrative lies a hidden history of espionage, coercion, and moral compromise that reaches from Nazi Germany to Imperial Japan and straight into the heart of Pearl Harbor.＜/p＞ ＜p＞This book traces the extraordinary journey of an ordinary family caught inside the machinery of World War II intelligence. It reveals how fear, ambition, and proximity to power transformed civilians into covert participants in one of history’s most consequential moments. Through meticulous research and intimate personal discovery, the story moves between generations, weaving together archival evidence, courtroom records, and the emotional aftermath of secrets kept too long.＜/p＞ ＜p＞More than a history of spies, this is a meditation on silence and inheritance. It explores how families survive by withholding truth, how children grow up shaped by what is never said, and how the past continues to exert influence long after the war ends. The narrative refuses easy judgments, instead confronting the uncomfortable gray zones between victimhood and responsibility.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Gripping, unsettling, and deeply human, ＜em＞The Secret Family of Spies＜/em＞ challenges the myths we tell about espionage and morality. It asks what ordinary people are capable of under extreme pressure, and what it truly means to face a past that cannot be undone. This is a story about history hidden in plain sight, and about the courage it takes to finally tell it.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Forgotten Battles: WWII Secrets Revealed【電子書籍】[ Aakash Agrawal ]

＜p＞＜strong＞Forgotten Battles: WWII Secrets Revealed＜/strong＞ uncovers the Second World War beyond its familiar landmarks. While names like Normandy, Stalingrad, and Midway dominate public memory, the war's outcome was also shaped by lesser-known engagementsーremote sieges, hidden raids, vanished convoys, quiet breakouts, and clandestine campaigns that rarely make it into popular histories. These were not footnotes. They were the connective tissue of victory and defeat.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Spanning Europe, the Mediterranean, the Arctic, Africa, and Asia, this book traces the overlooked fights that decided supply routes, delayed offensives, protected vital intelligence, and forced commanders to revise their assumptions in real time. You will journey through Norway's cold crucible, the "Phoney War" that was already lethal, the desert's unglamorous siege logic, and the Mediterranean's night-bound sea war of mines and submarines. You will enter the long shadows of occupied Europeーwhere resistance networks turned rail lines, radios, and sabotage into weaponsーand confront the under-told infernos of Burma and China, where endurance and logistics mattered as much as firepower.＜/p＞ ＜p＞But the story does not stop at the battlefield. Each chapter reveals the ＜em＞secret layer＜/em＞ that shaped what the public saw and what later generations were allowed to remember: intercepted signals, deception plans, deniable missions, weather intelligence, classified reconnaissance, and postwar narrative management. Some battles were forgotten because they were small; others because they were politically inconvenient; many because acknowledging them would have exposed methods or compromised alliances. In the war's final months, even "victory" did not end the killingーpockets fought on, desperate offensives flared, and competing powers raced to seize documents, scientists, and strategic secrets before the peace began.＜/p＞ ＜p＞Written in vivid, accessible prose, ＜strong＞Forgotten Battles: WWII Secrets Revealed＜/strong＞ restores depth to the war's global story. It shows how modern conflict is often decided not only by dramatic breakthroughs, but by movement and supply, by intelligence and perception, and by the quiet battles fought in the margins of official history. For readers who want a fuller, truer picture of WWIIーone that honors the unseen sacrifices and explains the hidden mechanicsーthis book reopens the files and brings the missing fights back into view.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Spitfire, Mustang and the 'Meredith Effect' How a Soviet Spy Helped Change the Course of WWII【電子書籍】[ Peter Spring ]

＜p＞Examines the life of the remarkable, and controversial, F.W. Meredith, an individual who has largely been forgotten by history despite the brilliant advances he made which helped the Allies win the war against Hitler's Third Reich. By the mid-1930s the obstacles to high speed that aircraft designers faced included the question of cooling the engine. This was a big challenge that those working on the new fast aeroplanes entering service as the war clouds gathered over Europe had to consider, as the drag from the system increased as a square of the speed. Ducted systems were designed which lowered drag, but these were based on the assumption that the system was cold. This ignored the potential energy from the air, heated by the radiator, for liquid-cooled aircraft, and from the discharged engine exhaust gases. It took a profoundly lateral thinker to harness the possibilities of the paradox that heat could cut the cost of cooling. That thinker was the British engineer Frederick William Meredith. A researcher at the Royal Aircraft Establishment at Farnborough until 1938, F.W. Meredith a key player in the UK's development of the autopilot and remote-controlled aircraft. His contribution to Allied success in the Second World War was enormous ? but, incredibly, he was also a known a Soviet agent. Few would doubt that the Supermarine Spitfire was a pioneering aeroplane ? not because it was an all metal, monoplane with retractable undercarriage and enclosed cockpit as these were not unique ? but because it was the first to incorporate a Meredith designed ducted cooling system. This was intended from the beginning to use heat to create 'negative drag'. In practice the Spitfire's design was flawed, as Meredith himself pointed out, and did not fully use what became known as the 'Meredith Effect'. Meredith also made entirely overlooked but extremely important contributions to resolving the problem of how to induce air smoothly into cooling ducts at high speeds without which, as the Spitfire demonstrated, ducted cooling systems worked sub-optimally. The first aeroplane properly to exploit the 'Meredith Effect' was the North American P-51 Mustang, this being a very significant factor as to why it was 30mph faster than the Spitfire when both had the same Rolls-Royce Merlin engine. This book by Peters Spring examines the life of the remarkable, and controversial, F.W. Meredith, an individual who has largely been forgotten by history despite the brilliant advances he made ? advances which helped the Allies win the war against Hitler's Third Reich.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】As If It Were Life A WWII Diary from the Theresienstadt Ghetto【電子書籍】[ Philipp Manes ]

＜p＞In 1942 German merchant Philipp Manes and his wife were ordered by the Nazis to leave their middle class neighborhood and go live in Theresienstadt, the only so-called "showpiece" ghetto of the Third Reich. This model ghetto was set up by the Nazis as a front to show the world that the Jews were being treated humanely. The ghetto was run by a council of Jewish elders, and organized like an idyllic socialist utopia with theatre groups and debating societies. All the while, this was just a holding post for Jews being shipped to forced labor and certain death at Auschwitz. Philipp Manes' intimate diary is filled with fascinating details of everyday life in the ghetto. Manes' voice brings us a step closer to understanding a little-known aspect of one of the most painful periods in the history of mankind.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
