Murder for hire plots, conspiracy to commit murder, and contract killings may seem like something that only happens in the Mafia, but Oregon has had more than its fair share of these cases. Within the pages of this book are some of the most egregious murder for hire plots that have occurred in Oregon in the past fifty years, including: a woman who killed the hitman her husband hired to kill her; the execution-style murder of two adults and two young children; a family who was placed in protective custody due to a contract on their lives; a woman who hired two hitmen to wire her husband's car with dynamite; the contract killings for two police detectives; the murder for hire of a young mother; and the conspiracy to kill the U.S. Attorney for the District of Oregon.
The William E. Boeing Story: A Gift of Flight is the first ever full-length biography of William E. Boeing, the father of commercial aviation. Boeing's story is an exciting one, complete with bootleggers, kidnappers and disastrous run-ins with President Franklin D. Roosevelt and future Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black. Boeing's story covers every aspect of early aviation, starting with his first ride in a balloon in 1896 to the christening of the revolutionary jet-powered Dash-80/707 in 1955. Along the way Boeing developed some of the world's most iconic airplanes including the P-26 Peashooter, the Boeing 247, the B-17 Flying Fortress and the mighty B-29 Superfortress. The Boeing family have given author David D. Williams unprecedented access to the Boeing family archives which contain thousands of never- before-seen photos, diaries and personal letters. This treasure trove of primary sources has allowed Williams to create an extraordinarily vivid and accurate portrait of this influential yet private man.
