Flying Black Ponies

by Kit Lavell

The tragic, the comic, the terrifying, the poignant are all part of the story of the Black Pony pilots who distinguished themselves in the Mekong Delta during the Vietnam War. Flying their turboprop Broncos down and dirty, low and slow, they killed more of the enemy and saved more allied lives with close-air support than all the other naval squadrons combined during the three years they saw action. Author Kit Lavell was part of this squadron of black sheep given a chance to make something of themselves flying these dangerous missions. The U.S. Navy's only land-based attack squadron, Light Attack Squadron Four (VAL-4) flew support missions for the counter insurgency forces, SEALs, and allied units in borrowed, propeller-driven OV-10s. For fixed-wing aircraft they were dangerous, unorthodox missions, a fact readers quickly come to appreciate.

Flying Carpets

by Hedy Habra

Flying Carpets is a story collection in the grand tradition of Arab storytelling. In it, Habra masterfully waves her writing wand and takes us on a journey as we read about people and places far away and encounter temples and mountain villages, gliding boats and fragrant kitchens, flaming fish and rich tapestries.The stories recover lost, partially forgotten and imaginary spaces, progressing from the concrete to the universal. The first two sections move between Egypt and Lebanon with a touch of magic realism. In the second half of the collection, the characters become less rooted in time and space as the dreamlike elements intensify. Throughout the book, storytelling and fortunetelling evoke a mythical past that is at the same time lost yet alive: love, loss, the yearning for alternate worlds, and the need to reinvent oneself through art permeate its pages.

Set adrift by life-altering circumstances, they find themselves bound together by need and torn apart by blind obsessions and conflicting goals.

Flying Eagle

by Tim Champlin

Jay McGraw's job might not have been too exciting, but it was a steady one. He was a messenger for Wells Fargo, and guarding its famous treasure box was his responsibility. It was a fairly routine business but one day trouble came his way. Not long into the run between San Francisco and Chicago, masked bandits blew up a key bridge on the trail. Jay knew right away what they were after. If the bandits had their way, Wells Fargo would lose its shipment and Jay would lose his job. He wasn't about to let that happen, but escaping from heavily armed, very persistent robbers didn't seem possible. Even an unplanned detour into the heart of a Wyoming range war couldn't help. It was starting to look like no spot was too remote for the bandits to find their prey. But, as the riders would soon find out, Jay wouldn't give up without a fight.

Flying Feet

by James Mccann

After losing yet another tae kwon do tournament, Jinho gives in to his anger and breaks his opponent's fingers. While this gets him barred from competing at his dojang, it also gets him scouted by Austin, a trainer for an underground mixed martial arts club. At first the prospect of fighting without boundaries appeals to Jinho, but the more involved he gets, the more disturbing he finds it and the harder it is to find a way out. Unlike legal MMA, which has rules and regulations, underground MMA is a free-for-all: there are no weight classes and no referees to stop the fight should it go too far. When Jinho is set up to fight a boy known as The Ripper, he realizes that he doesn't belong in this world, but the only thing that can save him is the ancient code of tae kwon do.

The Flying Flea, Callie, and Me

by Bill Wallace Carol Wallace

"The house people had picked me out of my litter to be a mouser. Callie was getting too old for the job. So it was mine. But I didn't plan on getting dive-bombed by a mockingbird building her nest... or adopting the baby who fell out. No joke! I'm a cat, but I do not eat birds. Mice, yes. Birds, no. Flea--that's what I named her-- couldn't even fly. She was so scared when she toppled onto my head that she said, 'Eat me... it's quicker than starving to death.' She was pathetic. I had to help her. The first step was protecting Flea-- and me-- from the monster rats in the barn (that's saying a mouthful!) and Bullsnake under the woodpile. Next, Callie and I had to teach Flea to fly. After all, how could she stay up North with us when her bird family was flying to Florida. I'm not a Florida kind of cat. It's just too hot for us furry types. I know I'll miss my Flea. But she'll come back-- after she's seen the world!"

Flying Foxes and Other Bats (World Book's Animals of the World)

by Sheri Reda

From the book: * Some scientists think that flying foxes and other fruit bats are more closely related to primates (such mammals as humans and apes) than they are to other bats. * Bats groom themselves as cats do. Bats frequently wash their faces and then fluff up their fur. * A newborn bat may weigh nearly half as much as its mother. * Rousette fruit bats echolocate differently than do most bats. Instead of making high pitched squeaks and clicks in their voice boxes, they click and clack with their tongues. *According to the fossil record, bats have looked almost the same for the past 50 million years. * Scientists have proved that bats have been roosting in Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico for 17,000 years.

by Peggy Webb

If logic were motor oil, she'd be three quarts low. Besides, only one question really counts: Can love survive being stuck in a zipper?
