Boyne, Walter J. Messerschmitt Me 262. Arrow to the Future.
Washington, DC, Smithsonian Institution 1980 0874742765 / 9780874742763 Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
198 pages, well illustrated (some in color) , cutaway, cloth, DJ, 8 by 10 inches, very good. From the dust jacket: Behind the Me 262's combat career is a fascinating chain of events in which planning, luck, and even blind stupidity played important roles. Even by today's engineering standards, magnificent is the only word to describe the effort to bring the plane's jet engines, which eclipsed the performance of all contemporary aircraft, from the laboratory to production in an amazingly short time. Messerschmitt Me 262 also tells the story of the people who flew the Me 262 in combat. Their complete accounts bring their missions to life and set the plane in the historical context of the war. The German narratives are complemented by the accounts of Americans who flew against the Me 262 - for instance, the team of crack USAAF pilots known as 'Watson's Whizzers, ' who literally stole a fleet of jet aircraft from German airfields at the end of the war.

WEIR, GARY E. and, BOYNE, WALTER J. Rising Tide : The Untold Story of the Russian Submarines That Fought the Cold War
Basic Books 2003 0465091121 / 9780465091126 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good in Good dust jacket
354 pages, 8 plates, cloth, dj, very good. 1st edition. From the Publisher: Throughout the Cold War, Soviet submariners patrolled the world's oceans, playing a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with their American counterparts in a silent struggle hundreds of feet below the surface. Rising Tide tells the Soviet side of these secretive operations. Drawing on newly available archives, as well as interviews with a dozen former Soviet commanders - access never before granted to Western researchers - this narrative shows that confrontations between nuclear-armed subs were far more dangerous than we ever thought.With sixteen pages of never-before-seen photos, Rising Tide recounts successful Soviet operations, including top secret exercises off the American coast, and espionage coups, such as the spy-ship that monitored American missile tests off the Florida coast and collected the debris in full view of the US Navy. All too common were the near-misses, heroic rescues, and deadly catastrophes that plagued Soviet submarines over the years, including the horrific nuclear accident on board the ill-fated K-19, later nicknamed the "Hiroshima"; the internal fire that sank the K-8 in 1970 with twenty-two sailors on board, and the dramatic escape of crewmembers from the Komsomolets in 1989, as narrated by a survivor.
