Description

Handley Page Halifax Airplane ModelThis Halifax RAF British heavy bomber was operational from 1941 to 1952. The Halifax was designed originally to meet the same P. 13 36 requirement as the Avro Manchester. A change to four Rolls Royce Merlin engines was made in anticipation of a shortage of Vultures, thereby avoiding the engine troubles that were to beset the Manchester in service. The first prototype flew on 25 October 1939, and the first production Halifax I on 11 October 1940.

This Halifax RAF British heavy bomber was operational from 1941 to 1952. The Halifax was designed originally to meet the same P.13/36 requirement as the Avro Manchester. A change to four Rolls Royce Merlin engines was made in anticipation of a shortage of Vultures, thereby avoiding the engine troubles that were to beset the Manchester in service. The first prototype flew on 25 October 1939, and the first production Halifax I on 11 October 1940. Powered by four 1280 hp Merlin Xs giving a maximum speed of 265 mph, this version carried a crew of seven and up to 13 000 pounds of bombs. Defensive armament comprised two 0.303 inch machine guns in the nose turret, four in the tail turret and others in beam positions on some aircraft. The first operational sortie was made against Le Havre by six aircraft from Number 35 Squadron, RAF Bomber Command, on the night of 11-12 March 1941.

,,,,,,,,,,,,The Halifax went on, with the Lancaster, to form a mainstay of the great RAF night offensive in Europe, dropping 227 610 tons of bombs in 75 532 sorties. Altogether 6 176 Halifaxes were built for the RAF, in many versions. Later bombers had more powerful engines, including the 1 615 - 1 800 Bristol Hercules radial on the Marks III, VI, and VII. The design was improved, with a stream lined nose instead of a turret, to improve her performance and so reduce losses. Some Halifax bombers operated against the Afrika Korps, from Egypt, others flew as special duties squadron, dropping agents and arms by parachute to help the Resistance movement in Europe. In other forms, Halifaxes served with distinction with Coastal Command and as paratroop transports and glider tugs.

Thank you, Netgalley and Pengiun Books for an arc of I'll Get Back To You by Becca Grischow. This book is a cozy and heartfelt queer holiday romance that captures the messy beauty of growing up and falling in love. Set around Thanksgiving, the story follows Murphy, a struggling college student, and Ellie, her unexpectedly queer former classmate, as they fake a relationship for a weekend that turns into something more. With authentic characters and a Midwest setting, the novel blends humor, vulnerability, and sapphic charm, making it a refreshing and relatable read for anyone who loves queer stories with emotional depth and seasonal warmth

A FUN BOOK TO READ
Format: Kindle
I really enjoyed reading this book. It was full of fun dialog and jokes. It made me laugh, just rolling with laughter. It was interesting to learn about that area of the country, especially the Cubs aspect. A pleasant surprise was that one of the MCs was a Jew. I liked feeling the connection because there aren't that many in the books I've read. The Thanksgiving dressing made with challah was a nice touch. I tried finding more books by this author but didn't have any success. I wonder if this is her first. I will read more if I find them.

Young adult wlw romance
Format: Kindle
Picked this one up spontaneously. It's a cute YA romance between Murphy, a lesbian trying to pass her accounting class, and an old highschool classmate, Ellie. Ellie has glamped up into an artsy bisexual just trying to convince her mom to splurge on grad school in NYC. When they run into each other at a bar, they find out they can help each other after discovering Ellie's mom is Murphy's professor! it's fake dating and one night to forever 😍 there's no spice but tons of humor! The characters read their age, young, disorganized, semi toxic. More of a young adult read.
