Voltaire told us to "judge a man by his questions, not his answers." I ask a lot of thought provoking questions in this ebook, all starting with the words - what if. We can barely go through life without asking what if about something. We are always questioning, always imagining. While the book takes a bit of a philosophical outlook on things, it also gives light humour that the average person can enjoy. The questions range from basic style choice to more controversial questions about life, and even about God’s existence. As Albert Einstein once said “the important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”

What is it that makes one movie a success and one a failure. Why do some scripts get made and others never see the light of day. Is there some kind of secret formula that allows some people to succeed while others fail? Trust in the Lord with all your heart, lean on Him not your own way of thinking and doing things. Commit everything to Him and He will bring it to pass. That is the true secret. This collection of scripts is called Hollywood Hits and Misses. The only way that can miss is if they are never given a chance to be created and seen. The first one took over 5 years to make. The second one is a sequel to another film and the third one is in the starting gate waiting for a clear lane. You can't hit something unless you thrown it all in.

The Hawker Hurricane, together with the Spitfire, is the most famous aircraft of the Second World War. Many pilots including Douglas Bader thought it was superior to the Spit but together they saved Britain from Nazi invasion and possible defeat.Adrian Stewart has produced a gloriously atmospheric and nostalgic book capturing the spirit of this great aircraft and the pilots who flew them. It tracks the aircraft as it was developed and improved and follows it to the many theatres of the war where it saw service. Among the lesser known are Burma and the hazardous convoy protection both in the Arctic and Mediterranean, flying from makeshift ‘carriers’. This book will fascinate specialist aviation historians and those who enjoy a rattling good war story, backed by a superb selection of rare photographs.
