This
is a small electronic publishing company owned and operated by
Patricia Mullaney. My forte is early American history with a
strong background in genealogy. I wrote Airman because I had
all the material for the book and I had been asked to do it.
After the book was finished this web site was started and I've
been adding to it from time to time. I will maintain this website
and do updates when I can.
One thing I would strongly
advise family members and friends of our World War Two veterans
to do is to video tape their stories now while you have the opportunity.
I think many people are going to regret not doing this in years
to come. It would be a family heirloom - a piece of your family
history. I only wish I had known enough to ask more questions
and get the story on tape when I had the chance. If you don't
have video - audio will do. I think it is very important that
these stories be preserved for future generations. And our children
and grandchildren will be getting the real story - not a whitewashed
version and not a Hollywood version. They will know how it really
was. And to all our World War Two veterans I would like to say
Thank
You from the bottom
of my heart.

or PC system.

cookies on our site. We do not
track people who visit this web site. We do not
for any reason sell, trade or give away any information given

SOME
ADVANTAGES TO ELECTRONIC BOOKS
Availability: Some important genealogies and historical
books that were published 100 years ago or more are no longer
in print. They can only be obtained through a rare book dealer
at great expense. Some books that have been republished are again
out of print. If a book is published electronically it can be
obtained at any time for about the same cost as when it was originally
released on disk. It is not necessary to run off 10,000 copies.
One copy can be reproduced in a short amount of time - any time.
This is known as POD or Print On Demand.
Convenience: Many of the genealogies and other
material used for reference work were not indexed at the time
of their publication - or had a limited index. If you are looking
for a particular date or place or event you can search the text
to find what you are looking for without having to do a manual
search which is required with a "hard copy."
Storage: Less space is required to store a
computer disk than a book. Backups can be made of a disk. You
do not have to worry about acid leak, pages disintegrating, foxing
or discoloration and myriad other problems connected with aging
books written on paper.
Printing: If
you wish a printed copy of certain parts of an electronic book
you can print out just the information you are interested in
or the entire book can be printed out if that is desired.
Print Size: For people who have problems reading
small text, the text in our electronic books can be enlarged
in Acrobat for easier reading.
Adobe
Acrobat Reader can
be downloaded over the internet for free at this link. It is
furnished free with your order and is available in both PC and
Macintosh format. If you visit Adobe's site you will find downloads
for other formats as well.
