Originally published in 1918 at the close of World War I, Aircraft and Submarines is a riveting chronicle of two revolutionary technologies that reshaped modern warfare. From primitive flying machines to agile warplanes—and from experimental underwater boats to stealthy submersibles—this compelling volume traces the bold visionaries, key innovations, and evolving tactics that brought these weapons to the forefront of global conflict.
With vivid storytelling, over 100 photographs and illustrations, and historical insight, journalist Willis J. Abbot explores the triumphs and tragedies of early aviation and naval engineering. A gripping read for history buffs, military enthusiasts, and readers fascinated by the technological turning points that defined the 20th century.
The Postage Stamp in War by Fred J. Melville is a captivating journey into the world of philately under fire. Written during the early years of World War I, this 1915 study explores how war transforms even the smallest of artifacts—postage stamps—into potent symbols of propaganda, resistance, and survival. Melville examines stamps issued under siege, in occupied territories, or by governments in exile, revealing a rich tapestry of history etched in ink and paper. For collectors, historians, and readers curious about the strange intersections of war and communication, this book remains a fascinating testament to how even the humble stamp can carry the weight of a nation’s story.
In times of war, amidst the thunder of artillery and the long silences of waiting, U.S. soldiers often turned to the written word to stay connected to home. This collection of personal letters—sent during World War I, World War II, and the Korean Conflict—offers a deeply human perspective on some of the most pivotal moments in modern history. Written to mothers and fathers, wives and sweethearts, children, and friends, these letters reveal the courage, longing, humor, and resilience of those who served far from home.
These letters came to us unexpectedly, part of a large stamp collection we purchased with the intent of breaking it down and reselling it. But as we began reading, we realized their true value lay not in individual stamps or envelopes, but in the voices captured within. Rather than let them be scattered or forgotten, we felt it was only right to preserve and share them with the world.
We will be posting the letters gradually on our website over the course of several months, as time allows for scanning, transcribing, and providing historical footnotes. These notes will offer context, identify people and places where possible, and help modern readers better understand the times in which these letters were written.
We also warmly welcome comments, corrections, and any additional information readers may have. Each letter is a small part of a larger story, and we invite you to help us tell it more fully—with care, curiosity, and respect.
