Red Combines 1915-2015 The Authoritative Guide to International Harvester and Case IH Combines and Harvesting Equipment
Red Combines 1915-2015 The Authoritative Guide to International Harvester and Case IH Combines and Harvesting Equipment

The first axial flow combine transformed the industry and was hailed as the most significant piece of farm equipment built in the 20th century. The axial flow used advanced technology to process crops faster and more efficiently than anything else on the market. The axial flow started with research done by a rogue Swedish engineer in the 1950s, was continued in secret by a group of dedicated engineers from East Moline, Illinois, who did their work in a top-secret garage that only a select few were allowed to enter. The book tells the story of how extensive research and development allowed IH to build a new machine that took the market by storm. Done with dozens of interviews of engineers, salespeople, and customers, the book captures the behind the scenes drama and the cloak and dagger encounters with rival companies personnel and machines. The dramatic text is accompanied by more than 300 archival images, concept drawings, sketches, and new photography of the machines and men at work today.

Reflections of a Farm Boy: From Tractors to Aircraft
Reflections of a Farm Boy: From Tractors to Aircraft

This is the story of our father, born in 1933 during the Great Depression on a Texas farm located in the southern fringes of the Dust Bowl.<br/><br/>After receiving his B.S. degree in Petroleum Engineering, he joined the US Air Force Aviation Cadet Corps and received his wings and commission as a Pilot and Navigator. He was trained to fly and navigate the largest US Air Force cargo plane, the C-124, across the Pacific. Stationed in Hawaii, his story describes in detail all the pitfalls of the crew working to keep the aircraft airborn while flying across the Pacific. During his three-year tour of duty, he flew to eleven different countries with twelve different cultures: Japan. Okinawa, Taiwan, Philippines, South Vietnam, Thailand, India, Momote (Admiralty Islands), Guam (Marianna Islands), Tongareva (Cook Islands), Kiritimati (LineIslands), Kwajalein Atoll (Marshall Islands) and Eniwetok Atoll (Marshall Islands).<br/><br/>After release from active duty, Dad worked in the oil and gas industry in Midland, Texas, where he went to church with two future presidents of our country, George H.W. Bush and George W. Bush. After a short time in Midland, he elected to take over management of an irrigated farming operation from his father-in-law, where he became a cotton variety breeder and developed the earliest maturing cotton variety in the country. From there, he went back to the oil industry as an independent oil and gas well operator. Dad’s story is full of laughter, joy, disappointment, success, failure, excitement, love, and happiness.
