Edward Wake-Walker brengt een ongeëvenaarde ervaringsdiepte in zijn schrijven, voortkomend uit zijn 28 jaar bij de RNLI, waaronder 16 als directeur public relations. Deze intieme kennis stelt hem in staat om met gezag de historische en operationele facetten van maritieme redding te verkennen. Zijn werken belichten de moed en toewijding die centraal staan in de missie van de RNLI en bieden lezers een meeslepend verhaal van levensreddende inspanningen.
A rare insight into the SIS's turbulent working relationship with de Gaulle's Free French intelligence service Gripping accounts of covert intelligence work in occupied France told in English for the first time Includes the heroic story of the special duties Lysander pilots
The Westland Lysander won lasting fame during the Second World War as the rugged little aircraft that flew British secret agents and French Resistance workers in an out of Occupied France by night, right under the noses of the Germans.
A new alternative assertion in warp field theory is introduced based on a newly formulated space-time metric or line element. The space-time metric to be introduced is defined on a theoretical warp field that is the result of a gravitational curvature in the geometry of space-time that is generated by accelerated particles. It is mathematically shown that particles accelerated to the verge of the velocity of light with an acceleration value that is equal to multiples of the speed of light per unit time (although the particles never exceed the speed of light in observance of relativity) are treated as particles of increased mass by space-time and therefore generate a gravitational field. Thus, the generated gravity/warp field bends and compresses space-time towards a hypothetical vehicle which travels at a given sub light velocity within the field. Hence, spatial distance is sufficiently compressed allowing the vehicle at a sub-light velocity to transit a distance in a comparatively short time span and a faster relative velocity. As with the Alcubierre metric, the new formulation is shown to be a solution to Einstein's field equations relating it to general relativity.
