VanBlair was tail gunner with a B-24 crew in the 448th Bomb Group, with whom he flew missions over Germany from December 1943 to April 1944. The climax of the book is his account of the crew's last mission when they led a formation to Berlin. Severely damaged by flak and fighters, they were forced to ditch in the North Sea with the loss of five men. A gripping narrative of terrifying action in WWII, the book describes in vivid detail the experience of the remote tail gunner’s position.

Review Prometheus in Bondage, or, All the Girls I Should Have Kissed / Avid Press, LLC:Memoirs written by Kent D. Boklan. These are not memoirs of an extraordinary life. They are the texture of a fabric woven of playfulness and of lingering regret. This is a book about hair style, Vikings and sliced ham. It is about a girl dressed as a clown and it is about the sexuality of board games. These are the memoirs of a man who finally read Moby Dick, who played Little League baseball in New York, learned to tango in Boston, received a doctorate in Michigan, used Ulysses as foreplay in Nashville, and mispronounced a word in Sweden. This is a life story: of leprosy, rare wines, the Ronettes, a nun - and of hasty retreats - of destiny and go-go dancing, laced corsets and Keats. It is a story of humor and eccentricity and the past. It's about the romantic ideal and passion - and love - and loss - and of great sadness. [+]And it's about a search. Ultimately, these memoirs are part of a quest for sensual redemption.

Review Matthew Boulton: Ormolu / Christies Books:Nicholas Goodison revisits his earlier exhaustive study of Boulton's ormolu ornaments and his manufactory at Soho, and unearths new and previously unpublished material. This book covers the factory between the years 1768 and 1782, the methods by which ornaments were designed, made and marketed and Boulton's own keen interest in promoting the business. It is a comprehensive account of the range of vases, candelabra, clock cases and other ormolu ornaments and of the customers who bought them. The author has once again combined meticulous research with a narrative style that makes the book a pleasure to read. Most of the photographs have been taken especially for this study, and the ornaments are described and illustrated in greater detail and in larger numbers than ever before.
