A highly prized intelligence
find rests on the bottom of Skagerrak Strait: a Soviet Golf II class submarine equipped with three nuclear-tipped ballistic missiles. All that is needed is to find this needle in the haystack, lift a thirty-five hundred ton vessel from the ocean bottom unnoticed and secure it in a surface ship designed by the CIA for this purpose.  

A near impossible task, nonetheless a band of U.S. submariners agree to take it on.

Artist Hal Olsen, the last living World War II Nose Art visual artist, known and honored internationally for his artwork, describes in his autobiography, Up An’ Atom, a critical time in his life as a young man growing up in New Jersey and serving in the United States Navy during World War II.  He tells about how he began painting his way into history over 70 years ago using bare buns and bust lines to lift the spirits and morale of American aviators.  An enemy bombing, blowing up a fellow artist’s paint supply, and having $50.00 worth of his own oil paints, launched Hal into his Nose Art painting career while on a Mariana island in the Pacific, serving as a 3rd Class Aviation Machinist Mate in the U.S. Navy. 

Nose Art, a form of artistic graffiti painted on the nose of airplanes, began to flourish in the time known as the Great War—World War I (1913-1918).  During the World War II years, (1941-1945), Nose Art expanded in many forms to almost every flying aircraft in the American military and is still visible on many of today’s military aircraft.  Hal did Nose Art on an F-111 at Pease Air Force Base in New Hampshire in 1989, painting Necessary Evil on the inside of the front wheel well flap.

Hal Olsen also painted other forms of fine art to include landscapes, portraits and military items such as Navy ships, and three of his most famous paintings, the Enola Gay, Bochscar and Up An’ Atom, are of the three B-29 bombers involved in the atomic bomb drops on Japan in 1945.  ‘The final painting I made was Enola Gay because the Air Force wanted her done right.’

Many of his paintings are in permanent museum collections with some pieces being held in private collections.  Included are the U.S. Navy; Museum of New Mexico,-Santa Fe; Roswell Museum, Roswell, New Mexico; and the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory Science Museum, Los Alamos New Mexico.  Hal’s artwork is also featured in Galerie Des Mondes (the Worlds Gallery) John F. Kennedy Airport, New York City, New York; the Fine Arts Museum of Santa Fe, New Mexico; Jonson Gallery, University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, New Mexico; the Commemorative Air Force American Air Power Heritage Museum, Midland, Texas; Admiral Nimitz Museum, Fredericksburg, Tennessee; the National Atomic Museum, Albuquerque, New Mexico; Los Alamos Historical Museum, Los Alamos, New Mexico and the War in the Pacific National Historical Park, Guam

His awards include the Prix de Paris, received in 1961 at the Duncan Gallery in Paris, France, and first Prize for his exhibit in the World Wide Nuclear Art Exhibition, Washington D.C.  He also served on the State Art Council and the Artist Advisor Commission of the Museum of New Mexico.  Hal and his wife Estelle are still happily married, living in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA.

When the Vietnam War began to escalate, the United States Air Force changed the name of Air Defense Command to Aerospace Defense Command and lost most of its experienced pilots and maintenance personnel to Tactical Air Command. After Russia’s MIG-21 appeared in Southeast Asia, TAC needed an aircraft to match its capabilities, so the new F-4 Phantom Interceptor, originally scheduled for ADC and still in the design stage, was converted into an attack fighter and given to TAC. 
 
To breach the gap after losing the F-4, ADC’s aging  F-106 Delta Dart Interceptor underwent structural  modifications to extend its active life to an astonishing 8000 flight hours, more than designers ever intend for a first line interceptor.  Hoping for better days, the unsung heroes of the U.S. Air Force, maintenance flight line personnel, managed against all challenges and kept the all-weather F-106 operational and ready to defend America against an enemy attack.

I Kept My Chin Up by Hannah Ackerman, is a story about a young lady at the age of 7 who out of curiosity had a vision that, unbeknownst to her, would turn out to be a tribute to honor veterans and those who serve our great country.  
 
Miss Ackerman's book, I Kept My Chin Up, presents remarkable and well-crafted insights into the depth of service freely given in defense of our country by U.S. military personnel and their families.  
 
Loss of life and limb in defense of American liberties resounds across the centuries beginning with the shot heard round the world fired at Lexington Green in 1775 to open the Revolutionary War. Since then, American blood has flown freely in the great cause of freedom. Patriotism fuels the great desire to defend America against all enemies foreign and domestic. 
 
Miss Ackerman at the tender age of seventeen has produced a work that honors memories of our veterans and patriots who have given great service to our country.

Major General Lance N. Stalwardt commands a small and highly secret military unit, organized to conduct covert operations in foreign countries to preserve the national security of the United States. Only those in the unit and three people know of the unit’s existence, the President of the United States, the National Security Adviser and a man named Hawkins. Two of the men are assassinated and attempts are made to kill General Stalwardt and the newly sworn President. 
 
He must find those responsible, but in doing so, he must break a sacred vow not to use the secret unit against the U.S. Government. However, he must sacrifice his personal feelings and employ the secret unit inside the country in order to survive and to find those responsible for the assassinations. It is possible the assassins are powerful political men who knew about the secret unit and may be part of the American federal government.

After the 1945 Battle of Okinawa, US forces built Marine Corps Air Station (MCAS) Futenma atop the rubble of several small towns. Surviving villagers returning home found that an air base now lay across their land. They could only settle nearby, where they remain to this day, waiting. This real-world conflict serves as background for The Dog Robbers. 
 
Lieutenant Deuce Riley, a US Navy pilot, is content to be a flight instructor at Naval Air Station (NAS) Pensacola, FL. Then he’s suddenly ordered to Japan to be an aide to Rear Admiral Brewster Brody, who has become enmeshed in the diplomatic argument over MCAS Futenma. Neither officer is real happy about their assignment, but the result is humor, action, and romance.

Ensure Plausible Deniability is a tale of the mid-sixties Soviet Navy flexing its muscles throughout the world’s oceans by provoking head-to-head confrontations with U.S. units. Ensuing games of chicken on the surface and beneath the seas between vessels armed with nuclear weapons portended disaster.  
 
It would take only one hotheaded skipper on either side to go off half-cocked and plunge mankind into World War III.  
 
The saga is set in the backdrop of U.S. diesel-electric submarines’ demise to make room for the higher performance nuclear powered submarines. However, the questionable nuclear power program selection criteria disregarded submariner performance excellence and accepted officer applicants solely on academic prowess. This practice may well have portended disaster of its own. 
 
Ensure Plausible Deniability is spiced with first-hand insights into submariner personal and distaff life.  Visit www.dmulmer.com for more details about Author D.M. Ulmer

Major Amos Mead, USMC, an agent for the OSS based in London, is tasked with tracking Nazi spies. Through radio intercepts, Mead discovers Nazi Germans are trying to locate and steal a new and important breakthrough in United States radar technology. Ultimately, assigned to protect the radar device on its journey to war with the 1st Fighter Control Squadron, Mead assembles a most unlikely team of fellow spy catchers. 
 
Unknown to Mead and his team, Nazi leaders Hermann Goering and Heinrich Himmler are in direct competition with each other to capture the device for their own paranoid purposes. Nazi master spy Otto Hauptmann works for one of them. Into the mix is thrown another spy – suspected to be a United States military officer, also on the Nazi espionage mission. 
 
Thus, Mead and company are challenged from many directions. The chase begins in Berlin and London, passes through North and South America, and ends in the South Pacific, 300 miles from Fiji. 
 
Along the way, an old love interest reappears, unusual alliances are formed, highest levels of government provide clandestine support, people are lost and found, and the culmination of the race twists in unsuspected ways.

Suspense, intrigue, duty, revenge, and justice. 
 
This is a story of failure and redemption along Arizona’s volatile border with Mexico. It is also a flying story about an aging pilot and some grand old airplanes of yesteryear. 
  
After a lengthy aviation career as a Navy jet jockey, Pan Am captain, and charter pilot, Pete Maclaren suddenly quits flying and vows never to do so again. Yet here he is, flying an ancient aircraft at night through the Mexican mountains on a reckless rescue mission. Action spiced with camaraderie and romance follows. 


     Flight to Redemption by B.K. Bryans is a flying story about an ageing pilot and several classic old airplanes from yesteryear. It is also an adventure story where action is not the sole property of those who are young and strong.  Here, two well-seasoned citizens wisecrack their way from crash to crisis and back in a story for the baby boomer generation.

Prepublication Review

     In Flight to Redemption, the author gives us a novel that realistically depicts the drug and alien smuggling problems that challenge our southwestern border country, but he also gives us lingering romance, bantering friendship, and an exciting conclusion. An ageing pilot, reluctantly accompanied by a small-town doc, fly a stolen airplane into Mexico on an ill-conceived rescue mission. This is a page-turner that is difficult to put down.”

"Unsinkable Sailors by retired US Navy Reserve Captain Paul Sherbo is a chilling historical account of the at-sea collision of the USS Frank E. Evans (DD-745), a United States Navy destroyer, and the Australian aircraft carrier HMAS Melbourne. This book is the only comprehensive source of original interviews and research along with official naval records that centers on the Evans crewmembers. The story of the collision that sank the bow half of the Evans is told by those who lived the nightmare on the morning of 3 June in 1969. It is a story of personal tragedy, survival and perseverance."

Author Paul Sherbo has added new information and exhibits in this beautiful hardcover edition, 6x9, navy blue cloth bound with gold lettering on the spine, wrapped with an attractive dust jacket.

Captain Paul Sherbo, USNR (ret.) of Lakewood, Colorado has written a book about the USS Frank E. Evans titled, Unsinkable Sailors: The fall and rise of the last crew of USS Frank E. Evans.  Using official documents, it is the first comprehensive American review of the tragic 1969 collision at sea when an American Destroyer was cut in half by an Australian Aircraft Carrier  A story of personal tragedy, survival and perseverance, the book describes in chilling detail the historical events that led up to the at-sea collision, the accounts of what was happening during the collision and the events in the aftermath, quoting entirely from naval records, interviews with surviving witnesses (both on the Evans and the Melbourne) and researching the Record of Proceedings transcripts investigating the accident.        

Sailors in the doomed bow of USS Frank E. Evans (DD-754) woke to a ship rolling out of control, tons of seawater plunging in.  Few escaped.  Those sleeping in the after half of the ship rushed forward to their battle stations, some "running out of ship" in total darkness and into the water.  Testimonies of surviving crew from the formal inquiries put you there, before, during, and after the collision. The courage and heroism of both crews evoke a genuine admiration for their bravery and spirit.

'Those '67 Blues  is an enlightening action novel of U.S. naval aviators flying combat missions from an attack aircraft carrier on Yankee Station in the Tonkin Gulf during the Vietnam War. 

This day-by-day account of flight operations, and the heroic actions of men penetrating the hostile skies of well-defended North Vietnam, spans a two-week period during the angry autumn of 1967.
 Feel the tension of flying a combat attack mission from the cockpit of an A-6 Intruder as, low and alone in the dark, you home in on a target. Understand the stomach-tightening dread as a surface-to-air missile tracks its target—you. Live the fear of being shot down, hunted, and held prisoner by the North Vietnamese.  Experience the shivering adrenalin release that comes hours after a harrowing mission. 

Meanwhile, the aviator’s wives and children back home live through fears and problems of their own, during a war that few people understand, and many despise.'

PRERELEASE REVIEWS
:
  

‘I loved Those ’67 Blues, but it touched nerves that I thought were long buried.  It has the authentic feel of someone who has actually flown combat missions in that war that I've found missing in most of the books I’ve read on the subject.  The emotion conveys so well.’


Tony Tambini, Vietnam War A-4 / A-7 pilot.


    'Those ’67 Blues is my kind of book.  It has the accurate detail that satisfies the guy who’s “been there and done that” and intrigues the guy who wishes he could have.  ‘Blues’ takes you through virtually every aspect of the carrier war in 1967 and does it so precisely you feel as if you are right there getting shot at.  Those readers who flew into the flak, missile, and MiG mess in North Vietnam will relive the adrenalin rush that comes from dodging SAMs, and feel the heartbreak of seeing our guys going down in flames or swinging under a chute (if they’re lucky).  To the curious readers, you can’t get any closer to being there than Those ’67 Blues.'

A Soviet spy becomes involved in the personal lives of the submariners' friends and family then uses them to his advantage to gather intelligence about American submarine operations.  An old adversary returns to the scene of his crime to aid the Americans in finding the Russian agent. 
 
The Foreword to The Cold War Beneath is written by Don Walsh, Ph. D. a renowned oceanographer, world explorer and marine specialist who has been associated with ocean science for more than 50 years.

BISAC: History / Military / Iraq War

Staff Monkeys is not a typical military war journal; it is a chronological and humorous accounting of a former stockbroker's observations during his military deployments from April 2005 through September 2009. After being recalled to the Army, Peter Clark served in East Africa as well as numerous Middle East hot spots. 
 
After his deployment to Africa, the fun and games were just beginning for Peter and over the next few years found himself in Iraq, Afghanistan, Jordan, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Kyrgyzstan. What the Army didn't know, or overlooked, was that Peter had a sharp sense of humor and wasn't afraid to use it.  
 
War is a very serious business, yet strange and comical events do occur and US Army Staff Monkey, LTC Peter Clark, a modern day Bill Mauldin, tells about them in a most entertaining way.

January 1949, early in the undeclared Cold War, the U.S. diesel-electric submarine Kokanee has illegally penetrated deep into Soviet Union waters of the White Sea and is detected by a pair of Russian destroyers. Depth charges fall on Kokanee and seem on the verge of tearing the besieged ship apart. A vindictive Russian captain is determined to eradicate the Americans. 
 
Two U.S. intelligence agents have been put ashore, their mission: determine whether the Soviets are developing a nuclear powered submarine. Commander Terry Martin violated Kokanee's patrol orders and risks everything, including his career, against the long odds of acquiring information essential to the long term security of the United States.


Pat Householder (USSVI National CDR) writes about Shadows of Heroes

Shadows of Heroes
is a Cold War Diesel Boat yarn set in Ivan’s back door, the Barents Sea in the winter of 1949.  Telling the tale of fictitious smoke-boat USS Kokanee, an audacious ‘spook’ mission ashore and a tenacious Russian skipper, it twists and turns, goes deep and evades against the 1949 backdrop of emerging GUPPIES and the growing Soviet submarine threat.

Shadows of Heroes
is Captain Don Ulmer’s second submarine tale of the Cold War.  His first, Silent Battleground, featured a nuclear fast attack boat when the Cold War turned hot and the U.S.S.R attacked the U.S.Both are excellent and plausible tales of submariner can do spirit under the most difficult circumstances.  Don served thirty two years in the submarine force, and skippered the USS Clamagore (SS 343) 1967-1969.

I recommend them both.

Count the Ways by D. M. Ulmer
 

"A grand romance in the classic sense.  A love between a Naval Academy midshipman and an Iowa farm girl, a Korean War-era tragedy, and the search by a grandson for the mystery surrounding his grandparents love story.


"There is a modern mindset that says romances are for women.  Any man who has ever been in love will identify with Bren Judge, enjoy the story, and even possibly shed a few tears." 
Dave Bartholomew
Captain, US Navy (Ret.)

Unsinkable Sailors Review
Using  official documents, this is the first comprehensive American review of the tragic 1969 collision at sea where an American Destroyer was cut in half by an Australian Aircraft Carrier.  Sailors in the doomed bow of USS Frank E. Evans (DD-754) woke to a ship rolling out of control, tons of seawater plunging in.  Few escaped.  Those sleeping in the after half of the ship rushed forward to their battle stations, some "running out of ship" in total darkness and into the water.  The testimonies of surviving crew from the formal inquiries put you there, before, during, and after the collision. Amid their sudden,  surprised confusion, the courage and heroism of both crews lend a genuine admiration for their bravery and spirit.
