No ownership inscription. 182 pages, index, clean and tight. In the summer of 1945, the squadrons of the mighty United States Air Force flew away from Britain after playing their part in the greatest air offensive of all time in the war against Nazi Germany. Three years later the Americans were back, making preparations to confront a new threat - the growing military power of their former ally, Soviet Russia. They have remained on British soil ever since, often amid much public debate. In this first history of the USAF in Britain, Robert Jackson argues that - without the presence of this great war machine - Europe might not have survived in freedom during the crucial years of the 1950s and 60s. Strike Force is a complete account of the United States Air Force in Britain since 1948, from the first B-29 bombers to the controversial arrival of cruise missiles and what was probably the most controversial action of all - the launching, in April 1986, of F-111 bombers from UK bases to strike Libyan targets. It is a story of constantly-changing strategies and the increasing complexities of air power in the European context - but it is a story of people as well as of machines. The Americans, at one time described as 'over paid, over sexed and over here', have had to come to terms with the British way of life - including private front gardens and what they felt was inadequate central heating! ., Robson Books Ltd, 1986, 2.75, This book is in "as new" conditoin, no wear to covers, no markings inner pages. Spine intact no creases. "When Jonathan Harker visits Transylvania to help Count Dracula with the purchase of a London house, he makes a series of horrific discoveries about his client. Soon afterwards, various bizarre incidents unfold in England: an apparently unmanned ship is wrecked off the coast of Whitby; a young woman discovers strange puncture marks on her neck; and the inmate of a lunatic asylum raves about the 'Master' and his imminent arrival.In Dracula, Bram Stoker created one of the great masterpieces of the horror genre, brilliantly evoking a nightmare world of vampires and vampire hunters and also illuminating the dark corners of Victorian sexuality and desire." Good Reads "Irish-born Abraham Stoker, known as Bram, of Britain wrote the gothic horror Dracula. The feminist Charlotte Mathilda Blake Thornely Stoker at 15 Marino crescent, then as now called "the crescent," in Fairview, a coastal suburb of Dublin, Ireland, bore this third of seven children. The parents, members of church of Ireland, attended the parish church of Saint John the Baptist, located on Seafield road west in Clontarf with their baptized children.Stoker, an invalid, started school at the age of seven years in 1854, when he made a complete and astounding recovery. Of this time, Stoker wrote, "I was naturally thoughtful, and the leisure of long illness gave opportunity for many thoughts which were fruitful according to their kind in later years."After his recovery, he, a normal young man, even excelled as a university athlete at Trinity college, Dublin form 1864 to 1870 and graduated with honors in mathematics. He served as auditor of the college historical society and as president of the university philosophical society with his first paper on "Sensationalism in Fiction and Society."In 1876, while employed as a civil servant in Dublin, Stoker wrote a non-fiction book (The Duties of Clerks of Petty Sessions in Ireland, published 1879) and theatre reviews for The Dublin Mail, a newspaper partly owned by fellow horror writer J. Sheridan Le Fanu. His interest in theatre led to a lifelong friendship with the English actor Henry Irving. He also wrote stories, and in 1872 "The Crystal Cup" was published by the London Society, followed by "The Chain of Destiny" in four parts in The Shamrock.In 1878 Stoker married Florence Balcombe, a celebrated beauty whose former suitor was Oscar Wilde. The couple moved to London, where Stoker became business manager (at first as acting-manager) of Irving's Lyceum Theatre, a post he held for 27 years. The collaboration with Irving was very important for Stoker and through him he became involved in London's high society, where he met, among other notables, James McNeil Whistler, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. In the course of Irving's tours, Stoker got the chance to travel around the world.The Stokers had one son, Irving Noel, who was born on December 31, 1879.People cremated the body of Bram Stoker and placed his ashes placed in a display urn at Golders green crematorium. After death of Irving Noel Stoker in 1961, people added his ashes to that urn. Despite the original plan to keep ashes of his parents together, after death, people scattered ashes of Florence Stoker at the gardens of rest." Good Reads, Arcturus Publishing Ltd, 2016, 5<
