Brilliant, one of the few great books of air warfare. Heartily recommended to any person desiring a vivid, absorbing first-hand narrative of the sort of Homeric hell lived by fighting pilots during the last stages of the war. There is no bitter snarl nor self-pity in this classic novel, first published in 1934, about the air war of 1914-1918, based very largely on the author's experiences. Combat, loneliness, fatigue, fear, comradeship, women, excitement - all are built into a vigorous and authentic structure by one of the most valiant pilots of the then Royal Flying Corps.

Here, for the first time in a single volume, is the history of the mightiest air armada the world has ever seen, from its creation to its triumph in the Second World War - a story of brilliantly innovative military strategists and daring fliers who mastered challenges unprecedented in the history of warfare.Beginning with the nascent Air Service's successful aerial search for the "Lost Battalion" during the Meuse-Argonne offensive of 1918, acclaimed military historian Geoffrey Perret brilliantly brings to life the people and the drama behind the great aerial offensives of World War II. Winged Victory tells the story of the battles and campaigns fought by the Army Air Forces around the world. Perret emphasizes the part played not only by the leading figures such as Arnold and Spaatz, but by famous bomber commanders such as Doolittle and LeMay; controversial airmen such as Chennault; fighter aces such as Bong and Gabreski; dynamic figures such as Philip Cochran and Casey Vincent (immortalized as Flip Corkin and Vince Casey in Terry and the Pirates); and many others whose leadership and bravery helped create an unbeatable fighting force.Here, too, is the story of the development and combat history of the American fighters and bombers that eventually ruled the air, as well as a recreation of the most important air operations of the war: the Doolittle raid on Tokyo, the early fighting in the South Pacific, the invasion and victory in North Africa, the hard-fought battle for air superiority by the Eighth and Ninth air forces leading up to D-Day, and the strategic bombing offensives against Germany and Japan.Drawing on new material - private diaries, letters, unpublished memoirs, plus unique access to the voluminous research for a biography of Hap Arnold that was never published - Winged Victory presents an indelible portrait of the drama and heroism of combat in the skies.

Vinyl LP pressing. 2011 release, the first installment for the new collaboration project between Stars Of The Lid member Adam Wiltzie and composer Dustin O'Halloran. Their secret to harvesting new melodic structures from the thin air of existence was for the duo to push themselves to live dangerously, realizing that clear thinking at the wrong moment could stifle the compositions. The final result is seven landscapes of harmonic replicating ingemination. Notable guest musicians include Icelandic

Superstar comic artist Enki Bilal reimagines the Louvre as a ghostly place in this series of 22 portraits. The Mona Lisa, the Winged Victory of Samothrace, a reclining Christ, an Egyptian bust—these and other works of art are seen through the eyes of their own particular phantom. The motley collection of men, women, and children presented in these vignettes— a Roman legionary, a muse, a painter, and a German officer, among others—have little in common other than their often violent demises and an eternity spent haunting the iconic Parisian museum. Bilal recounts the life stories of these lost souls in dramatic biographies that combine fiction and historical reality, often evoking the creation of the works in question. The paintings that compose this graphic novel were presented in a special exhibition at the Louvre in early 2013.

Aix Em Klemm is the moniker of the ambient music project consisting of Adam Wiltzie (Stars Of The Lid / A Winged Victory For The Sullen) and Robert Donne (Labradford / Anjou). As Wiltzie told Sadness Is In The Sky fanzine, his collaboration with Donne began when "we all met during a Texas swing of a Labradford tour that Stars Of The Lid opened for back in 1996. They stayed at my house for a few days and we became close." A year later Wiltzie was asked to join Labradford for their Mi Media Naran
