Soldier Types from my new book with link

Soldier Types

What type of man becomes a soldier?

All types of man from a baker to accountant

From the criminal offered either jail or the army

To the graduate who wanted to become a man

All signed up and were given a number

Along with a rifle and uniform and orders

Off to war they went aged 18-22

Keen to show they were ready and able

To kick both German and Japan where it hurt

This they did hundreds of times over

But after Germany and Japan kicked them

Killing their buddies and losing them battles

After these harsh lessons America stood up

Making a stand to do what was needed

Smash the Axis militaries two front war

First Imperial Japan and then Nazi Germany

But it was soon apparent that both were equal

One threat the same as the other

But different in their make up

Yet the same in their fighting intent to win

Both were heavy weight opponents

With skill and tenacity and a knockout will

This was the nature of the enemy to fight

The Army of Democracy stood up

And took on the challenge to be victorious

Once and for all even if it took forever

And cost every single soldier his young life

They started the war we’d finish it

DC-3

DC-3

A Post-War design classic with the looks of an actress.

Silver alloy cool taking you cross country.

Fancy a holiday?

Fly off in a Douglas DC-3.

The height of style and Art Nouveau cool.

It's speed and range revolutionized air travel.

There wasn't nothing like it before except the beautiful Boeing 247.

Hundreds of civilian ones were made but war ended that.

Giving the DC-3 its finest hour as thousands were built.

Called C-47 Skytrain, they gained immortality over Arnhem and Normandy.

Dropping paratroops and flying in supplies for the army.

Braving Flak and enemy fighters.

Shoot downs and crashes were common but they were always there.

In the middle of the battle doing what it did best, being a flying workhorse.

One survived being rammed by a Japanese fighter.

Others flew over The Hump, risking storms and four mile high mountains.

A few went missing with their crews, never to be found.

The aircraft was that good it was copied by the Soviets and Japanese.

After the war an improved version was built but it wasn't needed.

Thousands of war vet transports were cheaply available.

They flew through the decades, on and on and on.

Now in the 21st Century there are hundreds still in service.

Regular passenger flights are flown in Canada and Columbia.

A testament to Douglas' legendary DC-3 design.

Fitted with turboprop engines, they still proudly serve.

Some will fly for a hundred years or more.

The world's first airliner to achieve that feat.

Stylish yet simple, historical yet humble, this is the DC-3.

Detonate the Night from my new anti war ebook

Detonate the Night

The attack came with the ferocity of war

War like only we can know

For we knew this moment was coming

But we didn’t think it would be so

Bad in the way that death is final

And all knowing that life ceases

When enemy explosive discharges on our positions

All we can do is to wait it out and endure

Those who survive must be ready to resist

Throw our enemy back from whence he came

But killing him is more preferable to that

For he will return in twenty years like he has done now

We will bear his bombardment and emerge

Then we will defeat him and smash his army and weapons

And savage his homeland as he does ours and we will win

Once the shells stop we will rally those who remain

And we will charge his guns so Victory is ours

Dead Stick Beach Landing (based on a sci-fi short story I read as a teen, forget the name or author)

The pilot landed his pointy space plane on the beach

It was a long sloping beach so he needed a touch of rudder

Like his wife tickling one of his nuts

But she was dead like everybody else

Space travel did that or light speed did

Several years of it was toooo delayed

Thus the pilot returned to a world now changed

Humanity was gone and so was everything else

Smoke and ash remained along with a poisoned atmosphere

The carbon monoxide allowed him to land

Gave his wings and controls something to bite on

Or he would crash like a meteor

His nuclear fuel used up not enough to light a cigarette

He had no way to replenish his oxygen

So in three hours he was dead

Or sooner if he popped the door

And took a breath of poisoned air

Fuck that time for a beer and some metal tunes

Maybe the aliens saw me land and will rescue me

They can even join me for a beer

There are twenty four out of date cans...

Merc Secret Plane Stories by Jimmy Boom Semtex

“We were faster than them and could out climb them but they out turned us and were more agile. Bert tried to turn in a horizontal fight with a Mig 17, he never made it. The Mig zipped round and blew him apart. Bert never had a chance. I climbed way up above the Mig to dive down on him with my superior speed and get him with a missile shot. He saw me when I was climbing up and pulled his nose up and took a shot at me. I remember seeing his tracer shells arcing up in two separate streams and falling away out of range. He now knew he was dead. I took my time climbing four thousand feet above him. I kept my throttles on max in my climb, using the water to boost my max engine power. At the top of my climb I killed the water and lit my burners and came down like the Devil. I locked up the Mig that killed my wingman and fired a single Sidewinder. In those days we could only get the enemy from the back or above and in the rear where his engine heat was. This I did and my missile blew him to bits. There was nothing left and I had my second kill, my first with a missile,” Bubba quietly continued. I ordered two more beers, he insisted on paying the bar tab.

Eventful War

Nick Armbrister

This is Nick's new anti war poetry collection about World War Two. A very varied collection of work in several different poem styles like verse, rhyme and Haiku. There are poems on the machines of war like the Hurricane fighter, on the bomber plane, on U-Boats, and tanks. The men who did the fighting and those who sent them off to war are covered. Why would two brothers fight one another on opposing sides? Works also covers equipping the men for war, on the historical aspects of the battles, on spoofing the enemy, about the weapons like the bayonet, bullet types, guns and rape as a weapon of war. The poems are intended to make the reader think. What is war? The work here covers opposing sides and much much more. A second volume will follow in future.https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/924473
