In the light of new archival material the editors take a fresh look at Russian aviation in the twentieth century. Presenting a comprehensive view of Russian aviation, from its genesis in the late czarist period to the present era, the approach is essentially chronological with a major emphasis on the evolution of military aviation. The contributions are diverse, with appropriate attention to civilian and institutional themes.

Henry Barrow and John Greenwood are the fathers of Elizabethan Separatism. Unlike Robert Browne, they refused to compromise their beliefs or conform to Anglicanism and as a consequence they died in 1593 - as martyrs for their steadfast adherence to the principles of English Congregationalism. Volumes three and four include c. 40 items derived from manuscripts, surreptitiously printed books and very rare pamphlets and documents which allow evaluation of the teachings of the Separatists, in relation to the activities of the Elizabethan hierarchy, to the Puritans, to the Pilgrims in the Netherlands and the New World and to the Independents and Congregationalists. (16 of the pieces are by Barrow, 6 by Greenwood and 5 by both men, in addition to 13 related Barrowist items in the Appendix).

Classic British crime drama starring Vivien Leigh, Leslie Banks and Laurence Olivier. Keith Durrant (Banks) is a brilliant young barrister on the verge of being promoted to the bench. His plans hit a snag when his younger brother, Larry (Olivier), accidentally kills the ex-husband of his girlfriend, Wanda (Leigh), and asks Durrant for help. Durrant realises that he cannot go to the police because he may run the risk of ruining his promotion, so he says nothing. When a tramp is arrested for the murder, Larry knows he must turn himself in before the man is sentenced for a crime he did not commit. Sentencing takes place in 21 days, so Larry and Wanda decide to enjoy those days in the best way they can. However, when the tramp dies in prison, Larry is torn between confessing or living with the guilty secret forever.
