The book is written in a unique chronological format and should be of great interest to anyone interested in RVs and RV travel. The author emphasizes that nothing in the book is fictionalized or distorted. Everything is based upon actual fact.

The book describes the couple's decision to purchase an RV, what they went through when they purchased it and all of their subsequent experiences and the many problems they encountered traveling in it. In the introduction and first chapter the author discusses the costs of owning and operating an RV and provides an informative insight into an entire spectrum ranging from campgrounds to RV ownership in general.

The author's direct and honest approach in expressing himself perhaps removes some of the myth of RV travel.

This manual is MUST reading for the automotive novice. It's the "perfect" gift from parents for young drivers. It is especially informative for all drivers who know little about cars and want to be safe while driving.

What Customers Are Saying About "The Original Road Warrior's Survival Manual"

"A long overdue book. With the elimination of high school driver's education, this book fills an important void. In addition to giving driving tips, I recently saved myself over $600 and probably my life by following one of the tips in the book. Thank you for this book. I will be purchasing copies for my friends and their children."

Mary Leitman, Pinecrest, Florida

"As a person who knows little about cars, this book is a God-send. It taught me many things I wondered about but had no way of knowing. Thank you."

Seth Eisinger, Miami, Florida

"This is an awesome book that is long overdue. I will purchase a copy for each of my kids to keep in their cars for reference. Almost everything that can happen while driving is covered."

Jim Grant, New Bern, North Carolina

"I now will no longer purchase gas from a station when the tanker is filling the station's tank. I got debris in my gas tank once and it cost me over $600 to get the problem fixed. I now learned the reason why it happened. I never knew what 'bad gas' was."

Joseph Richards, Miami, Florida

"As a senior citizen and one who loves to drive, this book gave me some real tips and information that I have used to stop getting taken advantage of at mechanics. I have also bought one each of my eight children and grandchildren for them to keep in their cars."

Valence Nightingale, Brooklyn, New York

"As a mechanic, I am thrilled to see that someone has finally written a book to make our lives easier. After reading this book, people will be able to give us more information so that we can find their problems easier."

Cleveland Alexander, Owner, Cleveland's Car Care, Miami, Florida

"I could have killed myself and my kids because when it is cold and I am gassing up my car, I get in and out trying to stay warm. I did not realize this could cause a build-up of static electricity that could cause the gas fumes to explode. Thank you for bringing this fact to my attention"

Coralita Powell, U.S. Navy, Brooklyn, New York.

"This book is great. I learned so much from reading it. It is written to make it easy to understand. I actually know what my alternator is and what it does. I also learned some valuable lessons. My family and I could have saved myself lots of money if we had this book before. This is absolutely the best!"

Oscar Viejo, Coral Gables, Florida

"Don't let the size of this book fool you. It has powerful information. I have been in the sales, service and management side of the automotive industry for over thirty years and this is by far the most comprehensive tool car owners should purchase to help them understand how to keep their kids and themselves safe in the operation of their vehicles."

Tom Meredith, Boston, MA

"Happily I read this book. It saved my life and that of my three children. My car broke down on a South Florida highway. I followed the suggestions in the book because they made sense. Within three minutes after we were out of the car and standing up the road away from the car as the book suggested, a truck slammed into it and crushed it. We would all be dead was it not for my reading this book and following a simple suggestion."

Chris Wilkinson, Boca Raton, Florida

The adventures of an airline, bush, and jet pilot in both the Canadian Arctic and west coast areas of British Columbia, Canada are vividly described in North Country Aviation Tales.

The book includes a vivid description of a forced landing at night (during a blizzard) in Canada's Far North in a twin-engine, 1928 Barkley Grow, and of Fox's subsequent survival without food.

It includes the story of an engine change on an Otter Bush Plane at 65 below zero at a remote Arctic weather station.

Retold are the author's adventures during four years as a search and rescue pilot where he used the DC3, the Otter Bush Plane, and a jet fighter trainer.

Other adventures include flying a passenger version of the Canso Flying Boat on the West Coast of British Columbia and during the summer months on Canada's Arctic DEW line, and Fox's first-ever successful interception by a jet of a DC3 with a full passenger load, going down and calling a "Mayday" between Churchill and The Pas, Manitoba.

The story of a young boy who left school at 14 to work in the shipyard of Harland Wolff, Belfast. He went to sea at 16 years as an officer cadet and eventually became a captain. He struggled to start his own shipping company, not for the love of the business but to be in shore employment, and to be with his family during the political problems in Northern Ireland. His return to the Merchant Navy and the formation in Northern Ireland of the Merchant Navy Association in the Province for the benefit of retired seafarers.

In July of 1915, just two months after Italy joined the Allied Forces during World War I, Lieutenant Camillo Viglino, age 23, volunteered for flight training in the Italian Air Force. His account of the training provides the freshness and intimacy of an on-the-scene, firsthand report. It reveals an idealistic young man with an unbridled passion for flying and a patriotic zeal to fight for his country -- a young man daring to go up in the fragile flying machines of those early years of aviation, routinely placing himself at the mercy of the weather, cantankerous engines, and unreliable instruments. The discomforts of flying an open-cockpit 1914 Maurice Farman, the frequent crashes at the flight school, and the constant occurrences of pilots getting lost are all related with a nonchalant bravado befitting a 20-year-old. Viglino follows his diary-like accounts with a copy of a letter from a cousin at the front describing an air raid on Adelsberg, Austria.

This book was written in Italian and originally published in Italy in 1934. It was translated into English by his two children, Camilla Viglino Hurwitz and Victor Viglino.

"These are men whose wartime contributions are of heroic proportions. Their log entries tell of real life experience of young Canadian men and their allies." (Flight Into Yesterday, 1999, ii)

Many of these diaries survived the ensuing decades and it is through the gracious input of their owners that FLIGHT INTO YESTERDAY was created. I've collected, re-written, printed and bound these experiences into book form for the members and friends of the Kelowna Wartime Aircrew Club. The 500 pages of this book provide a unique insight into the hearts of men and women in war. FLIGHT INTO YESTERDAY is a legacy.

The conventional method of measuring the stability of a yacht using the moment resistance curve, of necessity involves assumptions which are not true under many of the critical conditions that may cause a vessel to capsize. In heavy seas, there is considerable vertical and rotational movement, and inertia forces not considered in deriving the curve, come into effect. The dynamics are governed by Newton's laws of motion and when these laws are applied, the response of the vessel can be related to the sea state. The ability of a vessel to react to the sea varies with time and there are situations where it is minimised resulting in a full knockdown. The main thrust presented in this text views the problem of stability in small vessels as one of dynamics and not one which can be completely resolved or understood, by the solitary viewpoint of the "static" moment resistance curve.

The book has four broad divisions: the derivation of the static properties; the dynamics of ships where all the relevant equations are expressed in a standard form to enable a direct solution; the physics of simple waveforms of both large and small amplitude and how these can be combined to give a description of the ocean under various wind conditions. The final part looks at combining a vessel's characteristics and the sea state to predict its motion and stability. In every case a comparison is drawn between the static and dynamic responses. All of the material necessary to form a quantitative evaluation of a yacht's stability is provided in the text. The book concludes with a chapter giving the results of calculations based on the theory.

It is assumed that the reader has some knowledge of elementary calculus and is familiar with the basic physics of motion such as would be covered in the first two years of an engineering or science degree. However, in each chapter the conclusions are discussed in a non mathematical way and important results are clearly illustrated with diagrams.

Aviation's evolution could not have flourished without the technical support provided by thousands of men, and now women, who have gone before and are still to come. They have transcended the generic title of 'mechanic' and matured into truly masterful technicians. My Left Mag' is Out is not intended as a primer of aircraft and engine maintenance. The work will publicize to the flying public that there is life beyond the passenger gates and airport ramps where skilled technicians support aircrafts and arouse memories of incidents in the careers of other maintenance technicians.

The author's maintenance career began when two biplanes chased two frightened boys across a field into the shelter of trees, seven years after Lindbergh's flight to Paris. His goal to be in aviation continues through the thirties and his enlistment in the Air Corps, where the airplanes were. Scrubbing engine parts in a cleaning shed, overhauling engines and maintaining aircraft; the attack on Pearl Harbor and the war years; post-war work at maintaining transports on the Korean Airlift followed by years of maintenance on aircrafts used for various purposes; private flying, commercial transports, research and corporate use. Finally, in structural engineering and consultant. The author was also a commercial pilot.

My Left Mag' is Out has appeal to all who are interested in aviation, now, or have been, involved or are contemplating a career in aviation.

*SPECIAL OFFER* send Earle a proof of purchase of his book My Left Mag' Is Out and you will receive an Aviation Maintenance Technician Log for the cost of mailing (actual value is $14.95).

How To Keep Your Saturn Happy is the first book ever written about Saturns by a factory trained master technician.

The objective of this book is to suggest solutions to our 21st Century reional transportation problems. The author's proposals address a variety of regional transportation concepts, in case study format, regarding the current dilemma of how to implement improvements to the Tappan Zee Bridge. The Tappan Zee Bridge is a major transportation link to the New York City Metropolitan Regional Area as well as to the New England Regional Area. This delemma epitomizes transportation issues faced by other large regional metropolitan areas throughout the world.

To successfully resolve the questions posed requires a systematic and coordinated approach for managing 21st Century traffic. The need for a comprehensive transportation plan was brought into focus by the destruction of the World Trade Center in New York City on September 11, 2001, which demonstrated the need for alternative transportation systems within the New York City Metropolitan Regional Area.

Yet another attempt of chronicling some of my travels. A humorous look at life on the road and the characters I find alongside it. Malfeasance in Motion picks up where the original Man on the Scene left off and highlights Bosnia, Greece, Ireland, Nicaragua to name a few...

This is a true life novel about a young boy in rural Mississippi. He lived his entire childhood in fear of his abusive father. He watched each member of his family flee, including his mother, leaving him as sole recipient of his father's wrath.

He finally runs away, joining the merchant marines. He boards a freighter en route to Asia for an experience he will never forget, in a relentless pursuit of happiness.

This book will allow you to travel with him to exotic places around the globe, as he wrestles with a troubled past, on his journey to manhood.

Bryan Webster started out his 10,000+ hour flying career by taking a ride in a two-seat single engine Cessna 150 and ending up inverted in the silty Fraser River beneath a large unmarked power line span east of Vancouver, BC, Canada. This experience left a lasting impression which 25 years later was the foundation for a new training concept for pilots of light aircraft, Aviation Egress Systems. (More at www.dunkyou.com).

During Bryan’s many years as a pilot he witnessed other aviators in the industry and recreational flyers with no predetermined escape strategy succumb needlessly to drowning while unable to egress from an inverted aircraft forced to ditch in water. Understanding personally the perils of egressing from a ditched aircraft he designed and built equipment to be used in aquatic centers simulating the challenges of disorientation and panic.

After witnessing thousands of students in a controlled situation, many of which who had great difficulty coping with the inverted underwater experience he felt compelled to document behavioural strategies in a book form to reach the flying public and educate them on the  importance of this not well documented subject.  This books content teaches pilots and passengers what to think about and how to react to successfully escape from a downed aircraft and then survive the after effects regarding life vests, life rafts and hypothermia.

Designed to be educational on the technical aspects of ditching an aircraft mixed with real life experience and a bit of humour for an informative, useful guide to help pilots and passengers understand and respect the hazards of light aircraft ditchings world wide.
