＜p＞When a child becomes aware of his pending death (children tend to know long before the rest of us even want to consider it), and is given the opportunity to draw his feelings, he will often draw a blue or purple balloon, released and unencumbered, on its way upward.

【電子書籍なら、スマホ・パソコンの無料アプリで今すぐ読める！】Balloon Ace The Life of an Early Airpower Visionary【電子書籍】[ Charles D. Dusch Jr. ]

＜p＞In 1927, when aviator Charles A. Lindbergh flew his famous monoplane in a triumphant tour of the United States, the Spirit of St. Louis touched down in Wheeling, West Virginia, for his visit to the Linsly School. There, Lindbergh laid a wreath at the foot of the Aviatorーa statue erected by Sallie Maxwell Bennett bearing the likeness of her son, Louis Bennett Jr., West Virginia's only First World War flying ace. Though largely unknown today, Bennett was an airpower innovator whose tragically short combat career would have an enduring impact on American flight and on war memorials both at home and abroad.＜/p＞ ＜p＞In ＜em＞Balloon Ace: The Life of an Early Airpower Visionary＜/em＞, historian Charles Dusch reconstructs Louis Bennett Jr.'s lost legacy. Advocating for a national aviation reserve years before the writings of "Billy" Mitchell, Bennett created a state aerial militia in 1917, complete with supporting airbases and an airplane factory. When the US Army refused to accept his unit, a frustrated Bennett joined the Royal Air Force to fight on the Western Front, destroying nine German balloons and three aircraft in a matter of days before he himself was shot down. In the second act of Bennett's story, Dusch traces Sallie Bennett's quest to clandestinely recover her son's body. Posing as a journalist, Sallie traveled to Europe searching the cemeteries on the Western Front and later commissioned twelve memorials to Bennett, including a chapel in France, the RAF window in Westminster Abbey, and the Aviator at Linsly. Moved by the vast destruction of the continent, she would eventually cross political boundaries to bring much-needed publicity to other mothers' demands for the US government to repatriate their own fallen loved ones.＜/p＞ ＜p＞From West Virginia to the Western Front and back again, ＜em＞Balloon Ace＜/em＞ is more than a multifaceted and insightful account of the pioneer aviators who prepared the United States for combat in the first air warーit is also a remarkable look at the commemoration culture that spanned the American Civil War to war-torn Europe in the early twentieth century.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。

＜p＞"Bubbles barked again, but she could not hear him. She screamed, but no scream was heard. What was emitted from her mouth was a tortured, strangled sound that resembled the croak of a creature dying of asphyxiation. It was as if the burrs that were affixed to her ankles had come loose, crept up the length of her body and found harbour in her throat. She gasped for air, and then screamed again. This time the scream pierced the forest canopy, startling pedestrians on Regent Street, nearly half a kilometre away."＜br /＞ Colm O'Brennan had fallen on hard times. An ex-homicide detective on disability, recently separated from his wife and child and barely able to make ends meet as a private detective, he assuages his feeling of failure and loss in drink. Colm's fortunes change when he secures a contract to find the missing teenage daughter of a prominent city lawyer. His search takes him down a twisted path marked by murder, blackmail, corruption and betrayal of a sacred trust that would exceed his worst fears for the young woman, and leave a city in shock.＜/p＞画面が切り替わりますので、しばらくお待ち下さい。 ※ご購入は、楽天kobo商品ページからお願いします。※切り替わらない場合は、こちら をクリックして下さい。 ※このページからは注文できません。
