Books with title The Pigeon Man

A curious incident occurred during the 1969 Apollo 10 moon mission. A white object, later dubbed a "moon pigeon", was filmed moving above the moon's surface below the spacecraft. An official NASA report entitled "Moon Pigeons and Other Unidentified Visual Phenomena Associated with Space Flight", published in 1970, attributed the Apollo 10 "moon pigeon" to either a piece of ice or a reflection from the window of the spacecraft. This is the story of a pigeon named Phoebe Featherbelle, who met a NASA scientist and set out to discover the truth about the incident. What happened to her is described by a pair of Trafalgar Square pigeons.

Originally published in 1943, The Pigeon Ace tells the tale of Coo-coo, a brave pigeon who, along with his new wife, Flutter-flutter, is called to serve during World War II as a homing pigeon. Enid Marx’s loving illustrations and entertaining plotting carry young readers through Coo-coo’s many adventures, including encounters with dangerously sharp-clawed cats and an immense hawk and skies full of deafening airplanes and fish-like barrage balloons at pigeon training. Eventually, Coo-coo travels to Africa, where he meets foreign bird-cousins and monkeys crossing the desert—until one day, without warning, he finds himself in the heart of the fighting and is forced to make the perilous journey back.
