Joseph W. Rutter was a pilot in the Army Air Force in 1944; and the expensive toys were airplanes - A-20s; nicknamed the Havoc for the damage they inflicted. This work tells the story of Rutter and his friends at a time when the horrors of war were matched by the energy and enthusiasm of youth.

A First-Rate Resource About GeniesBy NeodoeringThis was a very good book about genies; starting from ancient Mesopotamia and moving forward in time through the Middle Ages to the present day. Lebling references many sources; including the Kor'an and The Arabian Nights and accounts from travelers of different times. He discusses different types of genies; their powers; and ways to defeat them. Many genies are evil; but some are helpful to humans. I learned a lot from this book. It reads very quickly and is well-written. A first-rate resource for fantasy writers interested in the Middle East. I took away one star because he tends to repeat himself a lot.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Wonderful!By RainI heard the author talk about this book on a podcast featuring the myths of Jinn and just HAD to check it out. And I'm so glad I did! It's a wonderfully thoughtful and well organized book with all the info i need to know about Jinn for a comic series I'm starting to work on featuring them! Thank you so much for making such a fascinating and useful book on this topic!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent BookBy Donna PeltierI had problems getting this book; but once it arrived I was very happy with it. It reads well and has interesting information on a world that most Western people have no idea of. I found it highly intriguing and informative. Very much worth both the wait and the purchase price.
