Winged Brothers recounts the service exploits of two brothers over more than forty years of naval aviation history in both peace and war. They were deeply committed to each other and to advancing their chosen profession, but due to the vast difference in their ages and the fourteen years between their respective graduations from the U.S. Naval Academy, they experienced carrier aviation from very different perspectives. The older brother, Ernest, entered naval aviation in an era of open-cockpit biplanes when the Navy’s operations from aircraft carriers were still taking form when Fleet Problems were still the primary means of determining aviation’s warfighting utility and proving its merits to the fleet. Macon’s story guides the reader through the Navy’s transition from piston-engine aircraft to jets. For the entirety of their time in uniform, the one constant was a close fraternal bond that saw Ernest as mentor and Macon as devoted admirer and protégé, only to see those roles recede as the younger brother’s achievements transcended those of the older brother. Through personal letters, official reports, first-hand accounts, and first-person interviews, their symbiotic relationship is revealed to the reader.

The Horten Brothers and Their All-Wing Aircraft is the heretofore untold true story of Reimar, Wolfram, and Walter Horten's remarkable aeronautical achievements with the all-wing planform between 1933 and 1945 as told to aviation biographer David Myhra. Talking daily with Reimar Horten at his ranch at the foothills of the Andes Mountains in Argentina for two months, and also with Walter in Baden Baden, Germany, the two brothers described in detail their struggles in Nazi controlled Germany to perfect the all-wing planform. Astounding as their real-life story is of itself, the Horten brothers gave David Myhra hundreds of photographs to illustrate this new volume. In this remarkable book David Myhra tells the true story of the Horten brothers and their all-wing aircraft through the use of over 735 photos and three-view line drawings of their entire all-wing line. Most of these photos and drawings have not been available to the public until now. Even more astonishing, the Hortens, ridiculed in the mid-1930s for wasting their genius on silly all-wing aircraft, would be the only ones called on by Hermann Goring in December 1944 to build an all-wing "Amerika" atomic bomber and save Deutschland from certain and final destruction by the Allies through a negotiated peace settlement. The Horten Ho 18 "Amerika Bomber" was not meant to be. But it might have been if the war had not ended in May 1945 but, say, May 1946. This, then, is the fascinating true story of those naive boy-designers from Bonn, the Horten brothers and their silly all-wing airplanes. AUTHOR:

The Cleansing of the Earth 2012 tells the transfixing and unforgettable story of Lucyna Lobos, who experienced a clinical death in a Poland hospital. Later, during a hypnotic regression, she saw an insightful and extraordinary vision -- which gave her answers to the secrets of the Great Pyramid of Giza, Egypt. Her memories hold a fascinating, riveting tale. A young Ancient Egyptian priestess is appointed by the gods to fulfill her mission in the Age of Aquarius. This is at the time of King Khufu, the builder of the Great Pyramid. Khufu, the One Who Arrived from the Sky, came to Earth to build this amazing structure with Star Visitors from the Ashun Planet in the Orion Constellation. They placed an "Energy-Magnetic System" in the pyramid. The system will protect the Earth during the return of the Nibiru Planet -- the same one that caused the biblical flood some twelve thousand years ago. Now it is up to the Lucyna Lobos and the organization that supports her to convince everyone that change is coming in the year 2012, when the Earth and its people will be cleansed and humans will achieve the fourth dimension. This will be the fulfillment of the Age of Aquarius.
