Rickenbacker burst onto the national scene as one of the country¿s first champion race car drivers. But his lasting fame came in WW1 as a fearless fighter pilot who chased the Flying Circus of the legendary Red Baron above the battlefields of France. He shot down 26 enemy planes in just 7 months. After the war, he was one of the founders of Eastern Airlines. And in a dramatic chapter of WW2, when a plane on which Rickenbacker flew as a civilian crash-landed in the Pacific Ocean, he survived as a castaway for 24 days before a rescue that defied all odds. ¿The unparalleled story of a hero & the dramatic events that shaped our country & our history.¿

Book Synopsis Royal Navy Aces of World War 2 by : Andrew Thomas
Download or read book Royal Navy Aces of World War 2 written by Andrew Thomas. This book was released on 2013-02-20. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Fleet Air Arm (FAA) of the Royal Navy served with distinction in every theatre of war throughout World War II. From its poorly equipped beginnings it started the war with few suitable, modern, carrier-born fighters to the final campaigns over the Japanese home islands, the FAA proved an effective fighting force wherever it went. FAA Pilots had the distinction of being responsible for both the first, and last, enemy aircraft to be shot down during the war. Featuring first hand accounts, combat reports, photographs from private collections and an array of colour plates depicting the range of profiles and symbolic markings that were used, this book will detail the history and combat experiences of these forgotten pilots who served with such distinction for the Allied cause.
