Finch, Linda - Smith, Donald
First Edition - signed by the author !

When Amelia Earhart disappeared in 1937 in the Pacific Ocean near Howland Island, she launched one of the most enduring mysteries in aviation history. Interest in her story continues to this day. In this short but insightful book, veteran pilot Linda Finch makes the point that all of the speculation about what might or might not have befallen Amelia and her navigator, Fred Noonan, takes attention awav from where it belongs: Amelia's remarkable achievements as a woman, an aviator, and a human being.
First as a social worker in a Boston immigrant neighborhood and later as a famous flier, Amelia dedicated herself to showing people that they don't have to settle for small lives. In countless appearances at schools, colleges, and community organizations throughout the country and in her
books and magazine articles, she continually urged her audiences to set big, important goals for themselves, and then to do the things nessary to make them happen. Coming from Amelia, this was not merely nice-sounding empty advice. She overcame her own tower of adversities, including a family broken by acoholism, in pursuit of her own goals.
In telling Amelia's story, Linda Finch shows that one of her secrets was she didn't allow herself to become overwhelmed. She concentrated on the details of the day and didn't let her mind get mudded by what she had to face tomorrow. She doggedly hurdled every obstacle, one by one, sometimes coming up with the most creative solutions. Lack of money or what anybody else had to say never discouraged her.
Amelia Earhart lived a big, full, meaningful life. She did what she believed in and dedicated herseil to an idea whose time was long overdue. Her flights across oceans and continents took her message of self-fulfillment to women who desperately needed to hear it.
Today, Amelia's message of self-reliance and commitment is relevant to everyone - men as well as women, boys as well as girls. That is the message Linda Finch will send on March 17, 1997, as she launches her flight in a restored Lockheed Electra 10E around the world along the Equator, to re-create and complete Amelia's last voyage: Live your dreams, and dream big.

Linda Finch will take off from Oakland, California in a restored Lockheed Electra 10E on March 17, 1997. She will attempt to re-create and complete Amelia Earhart's around-the-world flight on its sixties anniversary, in the centennial year of Amelias birth. Linda is a seasoned pilot and aviation historian with more than 21 years of experience restoring and flying historic aircraft. She has logged more than 8,000 flying hours, 5.900 in multi-engine aircraft, vintage war birds, and tail- draggers; and has flown in airshows for more than ten years.
She has served as the lead coordinator and pilot for the fundraising, restoration, and marketing of a Confederate Air Force P-47 Thunder-bolt airplane, one of only five flying. Today she serves as the primary sponsor of the P-47, providine regular maintenance for this rare and valuable aircraft. She has also completely restored, modified and raced a historic AT-6 World War II trainer.
Linda owns a health care and retirement community business She has two grown children, an adopted baby daughter and a grandson.

[Remarks by Peter Klant, Antiquariat Lindbergh:
Lina Finch completed the recreated World Flight as planned from March 17 to May 28, 1997. She stopped at 36 waypoints and flew 26.000 Miles. Finch's Loockheed Electra 10E is now on display in the The Museum of Flight.]

Doran, Jamie - Bizony, Piers
First U.S. Edition

On April 12, 1961, Yuri Gagarin became the first person to venture into space, gaining worldwide fame in a quick 108-minute journey. Starman tells for the first time Gagarin's personal odyssey from peasant to international icon, his disintegration under the pressures of fame, and his final disillusionment with the USSR. Before President Kennedy had put an American on the moon, Gagarin himself was dead, killed at age thirty-four in a mysterious air crash. Publicly mourned, his death was privately met with relief by the Soviet hierarchy, and the KGB report into his death remains secret. Entwined with Gagarin's history is that of the breathtaking and highly secretive Russian space program. Starman looks behind the scenes of the first great space spectacular, and reveals how it came frighteningly close to destruction.

Delius, Fred G.
Originalausgabe

Katastrophe im All!
Der Mondflug war bereits Routine. Niemand rechnete mit einem Mißerfolg. Doch bei Apollo 13 passierte es.
Eine Explosion erschütterte das Raumschiff. »Wir haben hier ein Problem«, mußte Astronaut Swigert zur Erde funken. Mit diesem Satz begann der Kampf um das Leben der drei Astronauten. Die Welt bangte um die drei Einsamen im All. James Lovell, John Swigert und Fred Haise überwanden die Angst, und in der Kontrollstation arbeiteten die Spezialisten fieberhaft, um die drei Männer aus dem Weltraum zurückzuholen. Und sie schafften es. Eine technische Glanzleistung rettete den Astronauten das Leben. Neben dem Report über diese geglückte Flucht aus dem All berichtet der Autor ausführlich von allen Apollo-Flügen.

Gandt, Robert
Robert Gandt takes us into the high risk world of Unlimited Air Racing, following the 1997 and 1998 championship at the Reno National Air Races. Flying wingtip to wingtip around pylons at nearly 500 mph, just jards above the sagebush, Reno's big throaty warbirds are piloted by an adrenaine-addicted, type-A elite whose oversize talent and egos spawn a hundred stories...

Robert Gandt knows what he is talking about. Himself a former navy pilot and current Delta Air Lines captain, he speaks the language of the characters of his book. And besides being a pilot writing about pilots he has proven already that he is a master of the word too. Other famous books of Robert Gandt are:

Season of Storms: The Siege of Hong Kong 1941
China Clipper: The Age of the Great Flying Boats
Skygods: The Fall of Pan Am
Bogeys and Bandits: The Making of a Fighter Pilot

"Fly Low Fly Fast" easily touches the excellence and intensity of Ernest K. Gann’s “Fate is the Hunter” or Tom Wolfe’s “The Right Stuff”...
