This remarkable collaboration between an anthropologist and a Nunamiut Eskimo tribesman offers a rare, often poignant glimpse into history, legends, lore material culture and daily life of a traditional society that no longer exists. Simon Paneak's drawings constitute the heart of the book depicting from a memory a way of life that in a very short time had been lost irretrievably.
The North American XB-70 Valkyrie is one of the most unusual looking aircraft in aviation history, and only two were constructed. It was originally designed as a Mach 3 high-altitude bomber, but was later used as a research aircraft. This new book by John Cambell is an all-color photo study of the XB-70, including production, flight tests, and the fatal crash of Aircraft #2. Aircraft #1 is now at the U.S. Air Force Museum at Wright-Patterson AFB.
