    Truckbusters From Dogpatch, the combat diary of the 18th Fighter-Bomber Wing in the Korean War, 1950-1953 - BelleAire PressTruckbusters From Dogpatch, The Combat Diary of the 18th Fighter-Bomber Wing in the Korean War, 1950-1953
    Bowker BookWire Reviews...accorded a 3 1/2 star review, the highest rating of any listed book to Truckbusters From Dogpatch.

    "With more than 1,000 black-and-white photographs and an engaging page layout somewhere between magazine and scrapbook, Truckbusters from Dogpatch is a rich historical document, entertaining read, and ode to the dedication, professionalism, creative problem-solving, and sacrifice of more than 3,500 of the Air Force's finest. Author Tracy D. Connors has done a truly admirable job in writing and assembling this book. From the macroscopic view of the Wing's role in the war, to the workarounds crew chiefs used to keep their Mustangs in the air, Truckbusters from Dogpatch is fascinating, informative, and visceral."

    Love Midgie, a Florida girl with indominable spirit - BelleAire Press Love, Midgie--a Florida girl with "indominable" spirit
    "Midgie is a refreshing, true story of a young Florida girl with indominable spirit who meets each challenge as a new adventure. From the first page the reader is caught up in Midgie's world--a combination of family and friends, as well as a haunted house. The author captures her unshakable spirit--‘Midgie’s magic’--as she moves from one adventure to another."

    Set in Florida primarily in the 1915-1920 time frame, young Midgie’s mother needs hospitalization and treatment for the after effects of the Spanish flu.

    Midgie’s father, a railroad telegrapher living in a small town south of Ocala, must make hard choices regarding how to care for his two children while his wife is being treated. He must work a 12-hour shift, seven days a week. He moves the family to Jacksonville, Florida, into a neighborhood called Springfield, just north of the city’s downtown.

    Just as Midgie begins to make new friends in the multi-ethnic neighborhood, her father determines he must send Midgie and her brother, Henry, to stay with relatives—Henry back down to Ocala, Midgie to relatives living in Alabama, Tennessee and South Carolina.

    After a horrible experience with the Alabama relatives, Midgie is sent to Chattanooga, Tennessee and then to Hartsville, South Carolina.

    During these extended visits, Midgie learns many important lessons about life and how to cope with disappointment and disruptions in her life. When she returns to Springfield, she is able to put her new understanding to good use with her friends.

    Flavors of the Fjords, the Norwegian Holiday Cookbook - BelleAire Press Flavors of the Fjords, the Norwegian Holiday Cookbook
     "Flavors is more than just a cookbook! The book itself is an entertaining recipe for learning about all things Norwegian. This culinary sojourn documents the Fladvad family's quest and helps readers discover what motivated Norwegians to immigrate to America. It captures the spirit behind the distinctive historic blend of cultures and history that makes up Norway's heart and soul. History has never tasted so good!"

    "The book may be the most detailed history of a Norwegian-American family yet published. Flavors of the Fjords exemplifies what dedicated compilers and relatives can do to preserve knowledge of their family’s complex past. This one family’s legacy should inspire others as well."
