SCANDINAVIAN AIRLINES SYSTEM (SAS) was established 1 August 1946. Three individuals that were involved since 1946 until recently in the development, evaluation, specifications and the acquisition process of all aircraft used by SAS over the 70 years are telling the stories how it happened. Many yet untold episodes from the discussions and negotiations with the major airframe and engine manufacturers reveal some interesting background why some aircraft were selected and some others not. SAS and the development people at the airline have over time also influenced the aviation industry which this book also has documented. The book was originally published in Swedish as the Swedish Aviation Historical Society 2014 Yearbook and was in 2015 awarded the Aviation book of the year in Sweden. The English translation now published 23 February 2016 is aimed at the international aviation community.

Blast down the quarter mile in your favorite 413 Long Ram, 426 Max Wedge, and 426 Hemi in Mopar Factory Drag Cars: Dodge & Plymouth's Quarter-Mile Domination 1962-1972!Stock-based drag racing throughout the 1960s demanded that the cars competing on the track be genuine production models and that they could be purchased by anyone. The strict regulations dictated total commitment from the manufacturers if they were to be successful. No one was more committed than Chrysler.Chrysler attacked Stock (Super Stock) drag racing in the 1960s with the same fervor as it did the NASCAR Grand National, which itself spawned the reintroduction of the Hemi engine. Its engineers designed and produced a new factory Super Stock turnkey race car most years throughout the decade and enjoyed absolute success on the track, forever cementing its legendary performance status. The introduction of Pro Stock in 1970 brought with it exciting heads-up racing with the expectation of producing multiple winners from a variety of brands. Instead, it resulted in total Mopar supremacy, as Hemi-powered Chrysler cars won 12 of the 15 national races throughout the first two years, prompting the NHRA to introduce weight breaks to scupper the Chrysler domination. The new 1972 regulations favored small-block-powered compact cars and were the first major step toward Pro Stock spiraling away from its roots and into the tube-frame silhouette formula seen today.Racing historian Steve Holmes delves into this fascinating period, capturing the careers of the Ramchargers, Melrose Missile, Bud Faubel, Dick Landy, Sox & Martin, Herb McCandless, Don Grotheer, Motown Missile, and countless others, providing a blow-by-blow account of Chrysler's factory drag car programs and the incredible cars it produced to trounce its rivals during the most epic era in Stock drag racing history.

"Follow the history of hot rodding through this nostalgic look at vintage speed equipment. When most people think of speed parts, they rewind a few decades and think back to the Ford flatheads that were so prevalent in the 1940s and 1950s. However, did you know that the speed parts industry began way back in the Model T era? It's true. As soon as vehicles were mass produced, manufacturers were looking for ways to make them faster. Manufacturers, such as Roof, Rajo, Winfield, Miller, Frontenac, and Holley, made speed parts for 4-cylinder Model T engines and accomplished speeds of up to 100 mph! In Vintage Speed Parts: The Equipment That Fueled the Industry, veteran hot rod historian Tony Thacker looks at the history of hot rodding through the eyes of speed equipment manufacturers. Covered chronologically, the book begins with the early 4-cylinder engines. In 1932, Henry Ford introduced the flathead V-8, which was slow to be adopted as the engine of choice in racing until the parts industry caught up. Once it did, the flathead, although interrupted by the war, was the engine to run until the automobile manufacturers introduced overhead-valve V-8 engines in the late 1940s. Chrysler's early-1950s Hemi and Chevrolet's small-block V-8 in 1955 spelled the end for the flattie. Both mills dominated well into the 1970s, and the speed industry was there to support all platforms in spades. During that period, every auto manufacturer made a V-8 worthy of modification, and the speed industry boomed. Eventually, the speed equipment manufacturers grew to the point of becoming corporate entities, as mergers and acquisitions became the much less interesting story. Parts covered include special cylinder heads, magnetos, camshaft and valvetrain upgrades, downdraft carburetors, headers, multiple-carburetor setups, and even superchargers. Everyone figured out how to make engines more powerful, upgrading with the type of parts that were being produced decades later, even to today. Join in the fun of reviewing the history of speed through this fascinating tale of vintage speed parts." --

Strandgaards Rutebiler er 100 års historie om den kollektive bustrafik set ud fra én virksomhed. Fire generationer af rutebilejere - så forskellige som de kan være. Den dynamiske iværksætter Johan Strandgaard (1872-1939) kom ind i vognmandserhvervet ved en tilfældighed, og han blev en hovedkraft i organiseringen af rutebilbranchen. Bogen rummer mange ikke tidligere kendte informationer om Johan Strandgaard. Han ældste søn og arvtager Elmer Strandgaard (1899-1989) var hans diametrale modsætning, en jordnær praktiker, som prioriterede de enkle og nære ting i tilværelsen. Tredje generation var Kjeld Strandgaard (1933-2013) en idérig og effektiv vognmand, som forstod at læse og udnytte samfundsudviklingen. Claus Strandgaard (1965-) var udset til at blive fjerde generation i familiefirmaet, men strukturændringerne i den kollektive bustrafik satte en stopper for disse planer. Historien om Strandgaards Rutebiler er også en fortælling om skiftende politiske vinde og om en 100 år lang kamp for en privat branche, som gradvis underlægges offentlig styring og finansiering - på godt og ondt.
