Edward Jablonski Orden de los libros (cronológico)
1 de enero de 1923 – 10 de febrero de 2004
Edward Jablonski fue autor de biografías de destacadas figuras culturales estadounidenses, centrándose en compositores y letristas, además de obras sobre historia de la aviación. Su profunda fascinación por la aviación, intensificada por su servicio en la Segunda Guerra Mundial, lo llevó a explorar su papel en la guerra y el avance tecnológico. Una amistad formativa con el letrista Ira Gershwin influyó significativamente en sus primeros escritos. La extensa carrera independiente de Jablonski abarcó artículos, crítica musical y notas de álbum, con un proyecto final destinado a narrar la historia de la música popular estadounidense.
Enriched with excerpts and insights from personal correspondence and interviews--plus lively anecdotes and rare, never-before-published photographs--this fascinating portrait brings us closer to the real persona of George Gershwin than ever before. 81 black-and-white photographs.
Text and photographs give some attention to the home front and to the high military commanders behind the lines but concentrate on the soldier on the front lines
Terror From The Sky is an account of the revolutionary tactics that aviation introduced in the early years of the the blitzkrieg with which Hitler's Stukas defeated most of Europe, and the terror-bombing with which the Luftwaffe attempted to beat Britain into submission. Yet it is also made up of fascinating personal stories of individual airmen and their war. The remarkable story of these critical struggles and courageous airmen is accompanied by over 200 action photographs - many never before published - which the author has gathered from official archives of the warring powers as well as from private collections and personal albums. Together narrative and photographs recreate the dramatic, moving, and often tragic opening round of the first truly world-wide war of the skies.
