The WY and the wherefore: Liz Cheney’s loss

“We were young citizen-soldiers, terribly naive and gullible about what we would be confronted with in the air war over Europe and the profound effect it would have upon every fiber of our being for the rest of our lives. We were all afraid, but it was beyond our power to quit. We volunteered for the service and, once trained and overseas, felt we had no choice but to fulfill the mission assigned. My hope is that this book honors the men with whom I served by telling the truth about what it took to climb into the cold blue and fight for our lives over and over again.”

So writes the 100-year-old World War II veteran John “Lucky” Luckadoo in the new book he co-authored with Kevin Maurer: Damn Lucky: One Man’s Courage During the Bloodiest Military Campaign in Aviation History. Kevin is my guest today, and will share Lucky’s story, and with it, the story of WWII’s famous B-17 bomber.

During the war, airmen in the 100th Bomb Group could finish their combat service and return home after flying 25 missions. Yet with a 1 in 10 chance of becoming a casualty, few were able to reach this milestone. Lucky was one of the, well, lucky few who did, and Kevin traces how he got there, from trying to join the Royal Canadian Air Force as a teenager, to learning to fly the B-17 on the job, to his harrowing daylight bombing missions over Germany, to the life he made for himself after the war. Along the way, Kevin describes the brutal conditions inside a B-17 and the bomber’s role in winning the war.

"Dear You : épisode 1" de Emily Blaine lu par Jessica Monceau ©Editions Audiolib.

Bienvenue au Peninsula, un palace de rêve au cœur de la ville qui ne dort jamais. C’est là qu’officie Kathleen, dont la mission, en tant qu’hôtesse d’accueil, est de satisfaire toutes les demandes de ses prestigieux clients. Pour la plupart d’entre eux, elle est transparente – mais pas pour Andrew Blake. Dès son arrivée à l’hôtel, ce magnat de la presse, secret et extrêmement charismatique, semble s’intéresser de très près à Kat. Depuis qu’elle occupe ce poste, c’est la première fois qu’on la remarque. Si elle se sent d’abord flattée, très vite, cette attention soudaine la déstabilise. Il faut dire que les exigences de son nouveau client sont plutôt troublantes…

This is a production cover of Little lion Man by Mumford & Sons that I did for a class final project. It's pretty raw but still has some original flavor.

O'Reilly Media spreads the knowledge of innovators. At O’Reilly, a big part of our business is paying attention to what’s new and interesting in the world of technology. We have a pretty good record at having anticipated some of the big technology developments in recent history. For instance, we launched the first commercial Web site, GNN, in 1993; we organized the meeting at which the term “open source” was first adopted; we were early investors in Blogger, which helped launch the blogging revolution; and more recently, our Web 2.0 conference launched a world-wide meme. We call this predictive sense the “O’Reilly Radar.” And while we’re certainly not always right, we are, at least, good at making interesting guesses.

Our methodology is simple: we draw from the wisdom of the alpha geeks in our midst, paying attention to what’s interesting to them, amplifying these weak signals, and seeing where they fit into the innovation ecology. Add to that the original research conducted by our Research team, and you start to get a good picture of what the technology world is thinking about.
