The Plane That Killed Knute Rockne
by James E. Stone In 1931 the lives of three men - Knute Rockne, Anthony Fokker, and Captain Robert Fry - intersected in a tragic moment of history that changed the face of aviation forever. In March of that year An F-10A carrying six passengers crashed in a wheat field in Kansas, killing all aboard, including the great Notre Dame football coach. James Stone looks at their lives and at the early history of aviation so that we can understand why an airplane with so many inherent design flaws would be used as a passenger plane by a major airline, and why someone like Knute Rockne would willingly place his life int eh hands of the pilot of such a plane. This entertaining and thoroughly researched book offers a detailed look into the wild and reckless early days of passenger-carrying aviation. ISBN 978-1-935089-13-1, 180pp, 6"x9", Softcover.

Forty Years behind the Iron Curtain
Günther Schulze, As told to Inge Myrick Günther Schulze is Inge Myrick's younger brother, and his story, like hers, is of an individual swept along by the terrifying and incomprehensible forces of History. Günther tells of a troubled adolescence in the 1930s and 40s as the war tore his family apart, and of his time in the German army and as a prisoner of war. Then, in the story's second act, a new colder tragedy takes place, as Günther struggles to make a life for himself and his family in a society that claims to be of the proletariat yet seems to have completely forgotten the people. This fascinating life story weaves itself through the tumult and chaos of our most recently completed century. Inge Myrick includes her own memories of her return visits to East Germany in 1968 and 1988, providing an insightful new conclusion to the story she told so memorably in The Other Side: The Life Journey of a Young Girl Through Nazi Germany. ISBN 978-1-935089-10-0, 198pp, 5.5"x8.5", Softcover.

The Other Side
The Life Journey of a Young Girl through Nazi Germany by Inge Myrick Now in its second edition, this memoir captures a young woman’s coming of age in Nazi Germany. Inge’s family tried to isolate itself from Hitler’s destructive policies, but the young girl who presented flowers to the visiting Fuhrer in 1935 and the young woman who nursed wounded soldiers in 1943 could not escape the devastating effects of the war and Nazism. After the war, Inge resolved to escape East Germany for Western Europe and the promise of freedom. This portrait of life during wartime, seen through the eyes of an adolescent girl, speaks profoundly to the cost of conflict on all people. Inge's is a story of endurance and hope, of being caught in the flood of history, but managing to swim to safety. ISBN 978-0-9792531-3-3. 202 pages. 5 1/2" x 8 1/2". Softcover.
