Vanishing Point
In Vanishing Point
, award winning journalist and author Tom Wilber pieces
together the largely forgotten story of the bomber,
Getaway Gertie , and an eclectic
group of enthusiasts who have spent years searching for
it.
At the height of World War II, a B-24 Liberator bomber vanished
with its crew while on a training mission over upstate New York.
The final hours and ultimate resting place of pilot Keith Ponder
and seven other US aviators aboard the plane remain mysteries to
this day. The tale is at once a compelling instance of loss on the
World War II American home front and a more extensive, largely
unreported history. Ponder-a 21-year-old from rural Mississippi-and
his crew were tragically unexceptional casualties in the monumental
effort to recruit and train an air force en masse to counter the
global conquest of Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan. More than
fifteen thousand American airmen and, in some cases, women burned,
crashed, or fell to their deaths in stateside training accidents
during the war-their lives and stories shuffled away in piles of
Air Force bureaucracy.
The forgotten story of Getaway Gertie was originally
inspired by summer evenings around the campfire on the shores of
Lake Ontario, where parts of the plane have washed up. Building on
those campfire tales, Wilber deftly connects myth with fact and
memory with historicity. The result is a vivid portrait of the
forgotten soldier of the home front and a new take on the meaning
of wartime sacrifice as the last survivors of the Greatest
Generation pass away.

Future propulsion systems and energy sources in sustainable aviation
A comprehensive review of the science and engineering behind future propulsion systems and energy sources in sustainable aviation
Future Propulsion Systems and Energy Sources in Sustainable Aviation is a comprehensive reference that offers a review of the science and engineering principles that underpin the concepts of propulsion systems and energy sources in sustainable air transportation. The author, a noted expert in the field, examines the impact of air transportation on the environment and reviews alternative jet fuels, hybrid-electric and nuclear propulsion and power. He also explores modern propulsion for transonic and supersonic-hypersonic aircraft and the impact of propulsion on aircraft design.
Climate change is the main driver for the new technology development in sustainable air transportation. The book contains critical review of gas turbine propulsion and aircraft aerodynamics; followed by an insightful presentation of the aviation impact on environment. Future fuels and energy sources are introduced in a separate chapter. Promising technologies in propulsion and energy sources are identified leading to pathways to sustainable aviation. To facilitate the utility of the subject, the book is accompanied by a website that contains illustrations, and equation files. This important book:
* Contains a comprehensive reference to the science and engineering behind propulsion and power in sustainable air transportation
* Examines the impact of air transportation on the environment
* Covers alternative jet fuels and hybrid-electric propulsion and power
* Discusses modern propulsion for transonic, supersonic and hypersonic aircraft
* Examines the impact of propulsion system integration on aircraft design
Written for engineers, graduate and senior undergraduate students in mechanical and aerospace engineering, Future Propulsion Systems and Energy Sources in Sustainable Aviation explores the future of aviation with a guide to sustainable air transportation that includes alternative jet fuels, hybrid-electric propulsion, all-electric and nuclear propulsion.
