Our images of the big names and places of the Old West often come from the tales of gunfights and violence that were sensationalized by dime novels and yellow journalism in the 19th century and the myths that came from those stories live on today. But in reality many of these fabled characters of the Wild West were gamblers first and gunfighters second— more invested in poker than in the momentary fury of the shootout. Aces and Eights tells story of the role of poker in the lives of these legends, and offers a portrait of the places where they lived and frequently died. This book offers both the “facts” of these lives and the true tales of the game and the gamblers—and the entertaining “tall tales” that have survived to this day.

Jake Leggs is in Phoenix when he answers a misdirected text message. Before he knows it, his curious nature gets him knee deep in a murder-for-hire scheme. A woman wants to kill her husband. When he finds out why, he tends to agree with her. It gets worse. Not only is the husband a gun runner, he’s tied in with the Mexican drug cartels, among others. He’s not your run-of-the-mill bad boy. Another problem was that Jake’s girlfriend/lawyer was going to have issues about his participation in this matter. When the rich, aggrieved potential client presented him with an obscene amount of money, he overlooked his reservations and took the case. He had no intention of killing the guy. Maybe he could just neutralize him. Jake had no idea how many other people wanted to do more than just neutralize anybody who had anything to do with this deal, especially powerful government entities on both sides of the border.

A compact, illustrated history of the 4th Fighter Wing and the beginnings of combat in Korea for the United States. The entry of the United States' premier jet interceptor into the Korean War was triggered by the ever-increasing presence of the Soviet-built MiG-15 south of the Yalu River. The possibility of the USAF losing air supremacy over the Korean Peninsula was unacceptable. The 4th Fighter Wing got the call for combat in Korea. They were made up of a combination of new pilots right out of jet training and the older combat veterans of World War II vintage. This combination of pilot types wrote and re-wrote the text books on jet warfare. Of the 40 jet aces that the war produced, the 4th Wing boasted 24 of them. With first-hand accounts and stunning illustrations inside, this book details these incredible pilots and the planes they flew.
