Percy Longhurst was an English wrestler (most probably a "catch-wrestler", that is: freestyle). He became acquainted with Yukio Tani og S. K. Uyenishi through W. E. Barton-Wright (the person who introduced ju jitsu to England in the early 1900's). Longhust started "The British Ju Jitsu Society" together with three other gentlemen, and became Tani's pupil. In turn Longhurst introduced the art to various police departments (The London Metro Police amongst them). In this book by Longhurst he describes a rather large number of methods in great detail. Many of these methods are indeed quite good and ans such make up a great and entertaining read. As each and every technique has an accompanying drawing, as well as very detailed text, it is quite feasible to understand the methods that are shown here. The book starts off by explaining various standing methods. These involve mostly locks, but also some takedowns/throws and some defences against punches and kicks. After that the book goes into ground defences (holds, locks and chokes), followed by a chapter titled: "Jiu-Jitsu for Ladies". This has some rather cool action-packed drawings sporting ladies defending against some mean looking assailants. There is also a chapter called "Simple Tricks of Self-Defence". Here you will find (amongst other things) some methods with the cane (or walking stick). In First Edition pages 68, 69 are missing.

Fred Funcken et son épouse Liliane (nés respectivement en 1921 et 1927), auteurs belges de bandes dessinées et illustrateurs, se sont lancés au cours des années 1960 dans la publication d'une série d'ouvrages d'uniformologie et, plus généralement, d'histoire militaire. Les 17 volumes originaux de leurs aeuvres sont encore aujourd'hui l'objet de l'adulation d'admirateurs passionnés que l'on pourrait qualifiés, en employant le vocabulaire d'aujourd'hui, de véritables « geeks ». Leurs livres sont construits sur un modèle très simple : un page de texte qui alterne avec une planche d'illustrations. Les deux volumes portant sur « Le costume et les armes de soldats de tous les temps » sont particulièrement attachant, notamment grâce aux textes d'accompagnement qui parviennent à aborder la guerre - et ses horreurs - avec une sorte « d'optimisme » raisonné qui n'est par ailleurs jamais déplacé. Les récits sur l'organisation des armées, la vie des soldats ou les anecdotes savoureuses sont toujours mis en avant et offrent un contrepoids très agréable aux descriptions plus techniques.

These lively narratives are highly illustrated with full-color and black-and-white photographs, drawing readers into the accounts of these historical events. Beginning with the historical context of the event to depict life in that time and place, each book’s story builds to a vivid description of the disaster, discusses the aftermath, and then analyzes the way the disaster changed history and impacted the future. On May 6, 1937, the celebrated airship Hindenburg caught fire during its landing in Lakehurst, New Jersey, killing 36 people. A German zeppelin, the Hindenburg was the largest airship ever built. It made numerous transatlantic journeys, offering passengers comfort and luxury during the years of the Great Depression. What was supposed to be a routine landing on the first transatlantic flight of the season ended in tragedy. Present at the site were many journalists, who were on hand to record the tragedy for the entire world to see, etching the indelible images on the minds of generations to come. The Hindenburg disaster was so great it effectively ended the practice of using dirigibles for passenger use. In The Hindenburg Disaster of 1937, read about what caused this tragedy.

It is a beginning. Over forty-five years have elapsed since the X-15 was conceived; 40 since it first flew. And 31 since the program ended. Although it is usually heralded as the most productive flight research program ever undertaken, no serious history has been assembled to capture its design, development, operations, and lessons. This monograph is the first step towards that history. Not that a great deal not previously been written about the X-15, because it has. But most of it has been limited to specific aspects of the program; pilot's stories, experiments, lessons learned, etc. But with the exception of Robert S. Houston's history published by the Wright Air Development Center in 1958 and later included in the Air Force History Office's Hypersonic Revolution, no one has attempted to tell the entire story. And the WADC history is taken entirely from the Air Force perspective, with small mention of the other contributors. Monographs in Aerospace History; No. 18, NASA/SP-2000-4518.
