With more than 1,200 photos, the second volume of this series gets
into the heart of the USAF uniforms and equipment used during the
Vietnam War. Focusing on hundreds of Air Force named items, the
book offers precise insight and references covering a selection of
70+ units. Flight suits, helmets, utility shirts, jungle jackets,
plaques, and souvenir lighters are featured together to illustrate
the history of these flying and ground units. From the air bases to
the mighty B-52s, from the secret missions to the POWs, many
aspects of USAF involvement in Southeast Asia are covered in this
second volume.

Review A quiet story and pleasant music combine for a calming,
peaceful, and even uplifting performance. --Kirkus Reviews Did you
hear the story about Max, the boy who kidnapped his grandfather
from a nursing home? You didn't see it on the news? Well, let me
tell you about it. Max lives in a small town, much smaller than
yours. His grandpa is losing his memory, but still remembers quite
a bit. You can imagine how they hurried, Max and his grandpa,
followed by old Miss Schneider, who insisted on coming along. Why
were they in a hurry? Because everyone was after them. Max had
skipped school to rescue his grandpa, and they were just starting
out on what promised to be one of the best days of their entire
lives. A touching story about dementia and the special relationship
between grandparents and grandchildren, with full-color
illustrations and a read-along CD audiobook featuring twelve
classical pieces for children by Georges Bizet and Sergei
Prokofiev.

The European Succession Regulation, which harmonized private
international and procedural law rules of Member States in the
field of succession, has been examined by scholars in almost every
detail. It has, however, not attracted the same degree of attention
from a third state perspective. The aim of this book is to offer a
comparative analysis of the Regulations's regime from a Turkish
perspective. Turkey is indeed an important third state for
cross-border succession cases for the EU, having a great number of
nationals within the European Union and being one of the third
countries which have bilateral treaties on succession with the
Member States which are still applicable according to Article 75 of
the Regulation. Biset Sena Güneş addresses the differences
between the provisions of the Regulation, the Turkish PILA and the
Turkish-German Treaty of 1929, the most practically relevant one of
the treaties with third states, and indicates the interplay between
the three legal texts.
