Ira “Taffy” Jones was a well-known air fighter during the First
World War, having scored about 40 victories flying SE5 scouts in
France with 74 Squadron. Well known in flying circles, Jones
recorded stories drawn from his own experiences during the war and
wrote of the many personalities he had met or known by association,
both during the war and in the post-war flying years. An Air
Fighter’s Scrap Book recreates the atmosphere of the days of the
biplane, of wartime flying, of early peacetime adventures in the
air, the development of civil aviation, and breathtaking record
beating flights, all evoking the sheer delight in flying that
characterised those early years.
"The Fate Twister" tells the story of Lena and Martin and their
struggle to hang on to each other in the face of hatred, danger and
clashing backgrounds. Their story begins when these strangers
squeeze into a bathtub to dodge a tornado on the ground. Martin Guy
is just passing through and wants to start over in California after
a guilt-ridden divorce. He was fired from his job as a professor as
a result of some bad choices. Lena Clark, a religious woman from a
small East Texas town, is at a crossroads in her life after
divorcing her cheating husband. Despite their different
backgrounds, Lena and Martin risk having a relationship in spite of
opposition from Lena's only daughter and from an undocumented
Mexican teenager who claims she has been forced into sex slavery.
Martin's effort to rescue the attractive young girl from slavery
risks endangering his relationship with the woman who may give him
a second chance at real love. And Lena's good deed to help the girl
jeopardize her relationships with Martin and with the small
community that is her home.
Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the
1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly
expensive. We are republishing these classic works in affordable,
