Octavo, boards (hardcover), gilt lettering, xiv, 299 pp. Very Good in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: The remarkable untold story of a World War II U. S. Air Force turret gunner who was shot down over Nazi-occupied France and, through incredible acts of friendship, heroism, and valor, evaded Gestapo pursuers for more than six months before escaping to freedom. Bronx-born top-turret gunner Arthur Meyerowitz was on his second mission when he was shot down in 1943. He was one of only two men on the B-24 Liberator known as Harmful Lil Armful who escaped death or immediate capture on the ground. After fleeing the wreck, Arthur knocked on the door of an isolated farmhouse, whose owners hastily took him in. Fortunately,his hosts not only despised the Nazis but had a tight connection to the French Resistance group Morhange and its founder, Marcel Taillandier. Arthur and Taillandier formed an improbable bond as the Resistance leader arranged for Arthur's transfers among safe houses in southern France, shielding him from the Gestapo. Based on recently declassified material, exclusive personal interviews, and extensive research into the French Resistance, The Lost Airman tells the tense and riveting story of Arthu'rs trying months in Toulouse -- masquerading as a deaf-mute and working with a downed British pilot to evade the Nazis -- and of his hair-raising journey to freedom involving a perilous trek over the Pyrenees and a voyage aboard a fishing boat with U-boats lurking below and Luftwaffe fighters looming above. With photographs and maps included, this a never-before-told true story of endurance, perseverance, and escape during World War II.

Octavo, black & tan boards (hardcover), 365 pp. Near Fine in a Fine dust jacket. From dust jacket: In the mid-nineteenth century, the U. S. Army would employ a weapon that had never before been seen on its native soil. From the Middle East came a cavalry mount that would fare better than both mules and horses in the American Southwest. Against the Mojave in the Arizona Territory, against the Mormons in Utah Territory, and during the early stages of the Civil War, the camel would become part of military history, and a nearly forgotten chapter of Americana. The Last Camel Charge is the first book to tell the complete story and document in detail the military's experiment with camels. At the end of the Mexican-Americna War in 1848, a need emerged for control of -- and transportation through -- the country's vast new western territories. The hostile environment proved a challenge to the army's traditional mounts, and in a radical move, the War Department ordered a navy ship and its captain to the Middle East to purchase camels and deliver them to an army post in Texas. The mission brought together an extraordinary group of people: innovative rancher Samuel A. Bishop, whose desperation over the Mojave gave birth to the idea, and Mexican-American War hero Lieutenant Edward F. Beale, who was placed in command of the newly arrived beasts and who would forge a wagon trail westward. At the same time, Colonel Albert S. Johnston was leading troops against the Mormons, and Hadji "Hi Jolly" Ali, who accompanied the great beasts overseas, would become known as one of America's first Muslim immigrants. Capable of reaching speeds up to forty miles an hour, traveling days without water, and carrying three times the weight of a mule, camels helped to subdue enemies, reach new frontiers, and unite a nation. And now, The Last Camel Charge gives them their due as a vital piece of American history. Military History, Western Americana, American West, American History, Americana, U. S.
