May, 1942: What does the R.A.F. do when its best fighter plane, the vaunted Vickers-Supermarine Spitfire V, can't compete with the Luftwaffe's new Focke-Wulf 190? Bad news--especially since the Nazis won't fight where one of their new "Butcherbirds" might be captured or crash land. The experimental Spitfire IX with its new Merlin-66 seems promising, but how to prove its superiority before putting the design into production? Only one sure way to obtain one of the new Focke-Wulfs for testing: steal one! Based on an actual plan, "Operation Airthief" -- submitted to British Combined Operations on June 23, 1942 by Captain Philip Pinkney, 12th Commando, Combined Operations, and the late Jeffrey Quill, OBE AFC FRAeS, arguably Supermarine's greatest Test Pilot -- Operation Pinch conjectures the problems, the false-starts, and the possible failures that might have happened had such a plan actually been attempted. |

Much has been written about Nazi efforts to build an atomic bomb. Various projects to develop, "Energy production from uranium," were known to exist in Germany and the Occupied Netherlands from 1939. However, prior to the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in March 1941, the German High Command, especially, Heinreich Himmler, felt that such a project was unnecessary due to the Nazi's phenomenal successes to that time. Himmler's efforts put such projects on a back burner, but evidently did not stop them completely Projékt Broadway is a novel whose premise is that at least one of the Nazi efforts at producing a weapons-grade atomic bomb did succeed, and was delivered to the enemy in a such manner that it was never detonated and ultimately forgotten. Then, quite by accident, the old bomb is discovered to be very much in existence and waiting to be deactivated, or used--through a mere telephone call--by the first nation to discover its deadly location! |

Heisenberg's U-Boat is a Science-Fiction novel that takes place in the past, present, and future. The U-91, a Nazi Type VIIC U-boat is subjected to massive electric discharges in 1941 at the Top-Secret Heisenberg institute in the harbor of Kiel, Germany. Thereafter, it disappears for protracted periods of time, only to return to its previous location after existing in what maddened crewmen describe only as, "The future." With mounting U-boat losses, the U-boat is pressed into service, only to disappear into the future carrying its crew as well as the captured crew of an American-built R.A.F. Lockheed Hudson patrol plane. U-91 surfaces in a future in which Earth has been taken over by winged aliens who resemble angels and raise the few surviving humans as "meat animals" on ranches, selling "livestock" to extraterrestrial worlds. A sizable population of free humans, called "Wickeds,"coexists and fights the aliens with little effect. However, in a world where metal objects are forbidden to Men, a Type-VII U-boat represents a potent weapon for the "Wickeds, who immediately bond with the occupants of the U-boat. From that point on, the aliens' existence on Earth begins to deteriorate. In the course of a few months, the Wickeds and their U-boat allies turn a profitable business for the Aliens to one of un-endurable loss. Simultaneously, as the U-boat crew discovers the horrors their Nazi regime perpetrated on the World-- including atomic war, which they won-- many of the U-boat's crew turn against their backgrounds, resolving to return to the past with the U-boat and destroy the Heisenberg Institute, where the Nazi atom bombs were developed.... |
