Novel by  Ralph "Mac" McDonald
(Bremerhaven - 1958-61)

"Effects of the Magnetic North Pole" (Published in 2004) by Ralph McDonald  - (Bremerhaven: 1958-61) - This work of fiction is about two young men who join the Air Force during the height of the Cold War in the late 1950's. From San Antonio to Biloxi to Monterey and th 6913th RSM.

 Available now at Online Bookstore: http://www.booklocker.com/books/1538.html 

ABOUT THE BOOK:

This is the fictitious account of the men and women who served in the U.S. Air Force gathering signals intelligence for the little known and top secret NSA (National Security Agency).

The story follows two young men, Mark Nobel and Snoopy Richards, who join the Air Force during the height of the Cold War as they struggle through basic training, language school and finally to Europe where they settle into a routine in Bremerhaven, Germany.

Events mark their tour of duty in Germany: The Soviets launch Sputnik, Buddy Holly dies in a plane crash, PFC Elvis Presley arrives in Europe, and the U-2 spy plane is shot down over the Soviet Union. Mark falls in love with a German girl and must choose between his heart and his loyalty to duty.

Along the way, they get mixed up with an East German Stasi agent who is running a spy ring of prostitutes in the town of Bremerhaven. To make matters worse, the agent is a beloved uncle of Mark's lover.

The story begins with sunrise over the Pacific Ocean and ends at sunset in the Barents Sea. It is told with humor as it follows the exploits of the two friends as they take a trip into the world of espionage and spys.

Book Co-authored by Larry Tart
(Bremerhaven - 1960-61)

"The Price of Vigilance" (Published in June, 2001) deals primarily with Soviet attacks on American recon aircraft during the Cold War. Larry also includes a brief history of the USAF Security Service. Check out his book on his website at: http://www.larrytart.com or purchase the book from your local bookstore or from Online bookstores: www.buy.com or www.barnesandnoble.com

Book Co-Authored by Larry Tart

ABOUT THE BOOK:

"The Price of Vigilance" is a history of airborne communications intelligence reconnaissance, with emphasis on the shootdown of Air Force C-130 #60528 over Armenia in 1958, killing 17Americans. It traces airborne COMINT reconnaissance from the heady days of nisei Japanese linguists on RB-24 missions in the Pacific in 1945 to Cold War airborne COMINT reconnaissance—initially aboard RB-29 #44-62290 and Blue Sky RC-47s over Korea in 1952, and later in RB-50s and C-130s in Europe from 1956.

A 60-page introduction describes the Navy EP-3E and Chinese fighter air incident in April 2001, plus related Cold-War U.S.-Chinese air incidents. In addition, the book documents a dozen Cold War U.S.-Soviet air incidents with the loss of 98 American lives.

On the C-130 shootdown, the book chronicles in detail the facts about: the inadvertent overflight of enemy airspace; how the Soviets shot down the plane, yet denied complicity; how the lost crew's families were kept in the dark for four decades, and how the government tried to bring the families closure by finally honoring the crews after the Cold War. The authors—themselves former airborne intercept operators—describe for the first time how American recon crews monitored enemy communications during the Cold War.


Novel by "Frosty" Rydeen
(Bremerhaven - 1961-63)

"Going In To Get Out" (Published in December, 2001) by A. Livingston Rydeen - This is the first novel of a trilogy about a young man's life experiences in Chicago during the late 50s and later in the Air Force. Available at Online Bookstores: www.booklocker.com or www.barnesandnoble.com

Novel by "Frosty" Rydeen

ABOUT THE BOOK:


"Going In To Get Out" is a novel about life, as seen through the eyes of a young man growing up on the far south side of Chicago, during the late fifties, early sixties.

The main character, R.T.Davis is a very likeable, but all too manipulative kid raised in, what would be considered by today's standards, a completely dysfunctional family.

The novel depicts the innocence of the times as it follows the funny, sometimes sad and quite often bazaar antics of R.T., and his life long buddy Eyes, for the year and a half prior to his "taking full control of his life" and enlisting in the United States Air Force.

It shows that those seemingly brilliant ideas young men have do not always shine as brightly when put into play but good friendships are truly etched in stone. We also see that particular era of our history, thought of so fondly as the "good ole times" by those who were there, may not have been quite as depicted on Father Knows Best, or Ozzie and Harriett, or was it? Judge for yourself.


New Book by "JD" J. David Joyce
(Bremerhaven - 1959)
Personal Website:

http://www.adviceforyoungadults.com/index.html

"YOU ARE THE FUTURE" (An Introduction to the Real World for Young Adults) by J.David Joyce - My goal in writing this book was to offer advice and brief instruction to young adults with regard to what will face them as they step into adulthood.  Since young adults are not necessarily inclined to purchase self-help books, my target purchasers are parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and friends of my target readers who may be interested in offering help through the written word.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

The book covers many areas of interest and is written in an easy reading style designed to keep the interest of our very busy youth who may not have much time for reading.  You may strongly agree or strongly disagree with parts of the book but hopefully your can accept that young people will be better served if they are introduced to controversial ideas regardless of your position on them.

 

The book may be purchased for $16.95 plus $5.50 for shipping and handling. 
Please make checks payable to PR&D and mail to:

North Haven, CT  06473.

BRIEF REVIEW:

"You Are The Future", an easy to read, no nonsense, straight forward book that provides young folk with little "nuggets of gold" Joyce discovered from his own life experiences.  From dealing with death, grief, religion, politics, and economics to political correctness, conspiracy theories, personal responsibility, and the culture of "victimization", Joyce pulls no punches in dispensing opinions and advice on some highly controversial topics.

Any parent or grandparent with a fledgling ready to leave the nest would be well advised to include this book in the "survival kit".  It may not be magic, but it may help the young person in dealing with the slings, arrows, and hand grenades life sometimes tosses in our direction.  I sure wish I'd had something like it when I began my journey.  I may have avoided some of the cuts, contusions, scrapes, and abrasions that come with venturing into the real world.

                              
-- Author T. Wayne Babb "North of Knoxville-South of Atlanta" and "Skivvy Nine"

(My first book, "A Guide to Many Happy Tax Returns" (1988) which is out of print was written based on my experience as an Internal Revenue Service agent.  My goal in writing the book was to convince taxpayers that, for most, filing a tax return is simple work and paying high fees to tax preparers is unnecessary.)
