Wounded Tiger Book: Kickstart This Amazing (And True) WWII Story Of Redemption

Mitsuo Fuchida: leader of the air attack on Pearl Harbor... to Christian evengalist in the U.S.

check out the Wounded Tiger book kickstarter campaign now (ends July 1st)

 If the story about the Japanese miltary officer who coordinated and then led the air attack on Pearl Harbor, who after the war found forgiveness and redemption in Jesus (and even preached the good news throughout the United states) wasn't a true story, it would be very hard to believe. But true it is.

 Mitsuo Fuchida's journey from a young and highly determined Imperial Japanese Navy pilot, on through the attack on Pearl Harbor, the Battle of Midway, being at Hiroshima the day before and the day after the atomic bomb drop, and then on to redemption is a truly fascinating story... and it's one you can experience in great historically accurate detail in a book by my friend Martin Bennett. Wounded Tiger is extremely well written and tremendously engaging. And the connection to Doolittle Raider bombardier Jacob De Shazer, who spent three years as a POW, is chronicled in detail as well in the book.

 I read the manuscript two years ago and was highly impressed. This book succeeds on so many different levels, I can't imagine anyone not enjoying it. Forgiveness is one of our most powerful emotions, and when experienced on the level portrayed in Wounded Tiger, it's truly epic.

 Martin's efforts to get the book published (and a full-length feature film made) have proven a difficult and challenging road... however, Martin's kickstarter campaign for the book has it about 80% funded with just six days left to go in the campaign. If you're familiar with kickstarter, you know it's all or nothing, so now is the the time to get behind this project and give this incredible (and true) WWII story the wings it deserves.

 Please go now to the Wounded Tiger kickstarter page, watch Martin's video about the project, and then note that for $10 you can get an ebook version, and for $25 you can get a signed paperback version of the book. Or, $35 gets you a signed hardcover of the book... all have an estimated delivery date of November 2013. There are also several additional levels of contribution and a variety of rewards of interest.

 Wounded Tiger is a story everyone needs to be familiar with, I hope you'll take the time to check it out.

Easy Read - The FAR/AIM In Plain English For Sport/Private Pilots

Jason Schappert's new book greatly simplifies the FAR/AIM for Sport and Private Pilots

 As AirPigz moves past the three year anniversary of the pursuit of avgeek excellence, I've been given the opportunity to both review Jason Schappert's new book and be part of an affiliate program with it. You may know I'm working on creative ways to generate financial support for my work with AirPigz, and this book is a win-win for everyone. 

 THE FAR/AIM IN PLAIN ENGLISH is an extremely useful tool for Sport or Private Pilots in training, or for those already licensed. We all know that the FAA doesn't make things all that easy to understand when it comes to things like regulations, so Jason has taken all of the relevant info for Sport and Private Pilots from both the FAR and the AIM and reformatted it for better understanding. After including the text as it's found in the big books, he then translates that info into plain English. This not only makes it easier to relate to the info for test taking, but it also significantly improves your ability to make real-world sense out of what the FAA is trying to say in the first place.

 Clearly this book will be very useful for pilots in training, but it has value for any pilot, regardless of experience, who wants to take a confusing and frustrating subject like regulations and sharpen their understanding. And, the book can be purchased as a downloadable pdf for use on electronic devices or as a bound paperback that's also sized to easily fit in your flight bag.

 And if you don't already know about Jason Schappert, you can trust me when I say he's got some serious credentials to back up his work. He's a CFII with over 4,000 hours of dual given and he operates MzeroA.com where you can find all kinds of flight training aids and a complete online ground school. THE FAR/AIM IN PLAIN ENGLISH is an excellent compliment to his other flight training related books. His relaxed style is all about taking the difficult task of flight training and making it both more enjoyable and easier to understand.

 If you're interested in finding out how to purchase the book, please click any of the THE FAR/AIM IN PLAIN ENGLISH links in this post, or on the pic of the book above. If you've followed a link from AirPigz and you make a purchase, a percentage of the sale comes back here to help support my effort to educate and entertain people on the wide world of aviation. And one last thought... with Christmas coming soon, this book would be an excellent gift for someone you're looking to encourage on their journey to become a licensed Sport or Private Pilot!
