One of the most storied aircraft of WWII; the Vought F4U-4 Corsair was the first single engine production aircraft capable of 400 mph in level flight. With its characteristic gull wing and giant 18-cylinder Double Wasp engine; it proved a superb fighter in the Pacific Theater and achieved victory ratio approaching 11 to 1. The exploits of the famed Black Sheep Squadron of Corsairs was recounted by their leader; Marine fighter ace Major Gregory "Pappy" Boyington; in the book "Baa Baa Black Sheep." This Flight Operating Instructions manual taught pilots everything they needed to know before climbing into the cockpit. Originally classified "Restricted"; the manual was declassified long ago and is here reprinted in book form. This revised version includes an original assembly breakdown manual as an appendix.

The history of the Ottoman Empire is being relived today.19 of 20 people found the following review helpful. History of IslamBy RaubryThis book is an excellent historical review of the beginning of Islam; the following of the Quran to the jihadist extreme; the vicious side of slavery; pillage and death resulting from an area being conquered; the reasons why the crusades were called; the jealously and politically partisan Europe during this time; the political problems of the West and the Church; the poor and great leaders of the world during this period; the reasons for the receding borders of the Islamic aggressors; and the lessons learned by history to avoid and be alert for this type of conflict today. It was an excellent read and a very accurate historical presentation of that time period.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Five StarsBy Harry Biggs Jr.Excellent!
