The Thunderbolts of VMFA-251 were reactivated as a Marine Air
Reserve squadron in 1946. Their Cold War only included a few weeks
of traditional combat operations face=Calibri>– in Korea –
but they would undertake constant training exercises and
deployments from 1946 to 1991 as they prepared for a potential war
against the USSR or China, the two giants of Communism. From South
Korea to Norway to Turkey and points in between, the Thunderbolts
found themselves defending the free world and living up to their
motto, Custos Caelorum. Following the end of the Korean War, the
squadron remained in the Far East until 1956. Back in the States it
began flying the FJ-3 Fury, a jet fighter, before converting to its
first supersonic fighter, the F-8U “Crusader”. In early 1962,
it was the first Marine F-8 squadron to deploy aboard an aircraft
carrier, as part of CVW-10 (Carrier Air Wing) aboard the USS
Shangri-La. During deployment in the Mediterranean Sea, the
squadron set a record for the most flight time in one month for a
Sixth Fleet-based F-8 squadron by flying over 500 hours. In 1964,
the Thunderbolts were the first Marine squadron in 2nd Marine
Aircraft Wing to transition to the F-4B “Phantom II,” which
they would fly for 21 years and 80,000 flight hours, until
transitioning to the F/A-18 “Hornet” in 1987. These deployments
and exercises, while not “at war,” were not without dangers.
The Thunderbolts lost many personnel and aircraft, but they
persevered as the armed forces of freedom-loving nations faced the
ongoing threat of communism for over four decades. Compiled from
archive records and interviews by a veteran of VMFA-251, this
account narrates how the Thunderbolts worked hard to maintain the
peace. They were indeed Custodians of the Sky.

At a critical juncture during brain surgery, Alex Dixon, age 12,
had a stroke . . . Alex was a normal, bright, and healthy little
girl, when the sudden onset of a mysterious illness began to take
over her life. Months of physical therapy and medication failed to
provide relief from acute pain and muscle spasms. Doctors across
the country were at a loss for answers. A last-ditch attempt at
treatment-brain surgery-ended up stopping the spasms but with
unexpected, dire consequences. A Stroke of Luck is the remarkable
true story of a close-knit family that meets challenge after
challenge with resilience, hope, and love.
This book is the first comprehensive, in-depth review and summary
of the U.N. FCCC AIJ pilot. Over 30 prominent players in the U.N.
FCCC AIJ pilot, drawn from 12 countries, prepared the 16
peer-reviewed chapters in this book. Most chapters are extensively
illustrated and the book contains a glossary of acronyms and a list
of points of contact in the U.N. FCCC AIJ pilot. To help meet the
technical and policy needs associated with the U.N. FCCC and
complementary treaty negotiations, this book has three broad
objectives: review, interpret and compile experiences of AIJ pilot
participants and observers; based on empirical data and skilled
observations, identify and document lessons learned from the AIJ
pilot; and, interpret, summarize and translate lessons learned for
future consideration by FCCC parties. Specific topics covered in
this book include an introduction to the AIJ pilot and the FCCC
guidelines/criteria, AIJ project development and finance, the
project development community, an overview of energy and land-use
and forestry sector projects, sustainable development, technology
transfer, human and institutional capacity building, legal issues,
and project monitoring, verification and reporting. This volume
will be of interest to the generalists familiar with FCCC issues
and negotiations but explores most topics in sufficient technical
and policy depth to be must reading for policy analysts, diplomats,
environmental protection specialists, scientists, engineers,
project developers, attorneys, economists, development workers,
foresters, and energy specialists.
Merriam Press Military Monograph 68. Fifth Edition (March 2012).
This is the story of the 270th Engineer Combat Battalion and its
role in what Studs Terkel called "the Good War." The author's
grandfather was a combat engineer, assigned to the 270th Engineer
Combat Battalion, 70th Infantry Division, and saw action from
February to May 1945. Steve started trying to piece together his
grandfather's service but had little to start with and obtaining
more information was difficult. He tried contacting other member's
of his grandfather's unit, but some did not respond. After seven
years of research, interviews and hard work, Steve has pieced
together a history of the unit, from their training with the 70th
Infantry Division at Camp Adair, Oregon, to their movement overseas
and arrival in France in January 1945, their journey to the front
were they entered combat in early February 1945 in France and
continues on through their operations up to the end of the war in
Germany in May 1945. He also includes much information on the
duties of combat engineers, including the building of bridges, the
placement and removal of minefields, the building and maintenance
of roads, the detection and deactivation of booby traps, and the
demolition of fortifications and anything else that stood in the
way of the advancing American forces. Also covered is the equipment
they used and the unit table of organization and equipment.
