The new chairman, Sir Percival Perry, had been, and now was again, central to the development of Ford in Europe. Perry's association with Henry Ford dated from 1905, when Perry became a shareholder of Ford's first British agency, but the very first link between them was earlier, in 1903. The two men first met in 1906 in Detroit. From Britain, Perry envisioned Ford making vehicles outside USA and selling them across the British Empire and Europe. He raced the company's cars, organised a chain of exclusive dealers, and superintended the Trafford Park assembly plant. In 1919, Henry Ford chose to run operations from Detroit, but Perry was determined to run all European business himself. Perry resigned in May 1919. [12] I’m a big fan of Mark Harris, who writes for Entertainment Weekly and who wrote my favorite book of 2008, PICTURES AT A REVOLUTION: FIVE MOVIES AND THE BIRTH OF NEW HOLLYWOOD. His first book was about the five films nominated for the Best Picture Oscar in 1967 (BONNIE & CLYDE, THE GRADUATE, IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT, DOCTOR DOLITTLE, and GUESS WHO’S COMING TO DINNER) and how 1967 was the year when Old Hollywood and New Hollywood clashed for the first time. It was a brilliantly constructed book and as juicy as it was fascinating. Ford remains strong in Europe despite challenging market conditions in 2010". Ford Motor Company.

I found the book to be especially engrossing, and did not stop reading it until I reached the epilogue. The book is very moving throughout, with a thorough and vivid look into the social environment preceding, during, and following World War II. The author put considerable effort into exploring the main characters of the story, and portrayed them all in a balanced, complex, and believable manner that gave strong light to their personalities. He did the same with the many other historical figures throughout the book.

While all the stories are fascinating, that of George Stevens is the most gripping. He was with the first Allied unit that entered the Dachau concentration camp after the Germans had fled. No one was prepared for the horror. And as an army unit, they were unable to do much right away for the many inmates who had survived to that point. Stevens filmed as much as he could, and his film would be used as evidence during the Nuremburg Trials. The experience shattered him though, and it took years for him to recover enough to make movies again. If you are not already reading Colby’s stuff, start.

Five Came Back: A Story of Hollywood and the Second World War Five Came Back: A Story of Hollywood and the Second World War

Coffenbury Lake has two picnic areas with swimming, restrooms and boat ramp. A 2-mile trail circles the lake. Another area correctly accounted for is the camaraderie of military life, and life on or near an air base. Living in and around the bases of DC, you often saw the tight, close knit relationships between military members. I saw the same closing of the ranks and support given in times of trouble. Danger has a way of drawing people together to support one another. World War 2 was really the first "filmed" war. Oh, movies had been made during WW1 but they were inferior to the later advances in technology in the intervening years. By 1939 - the beginning of the war in Europe - Hollywood directors had been filming using sound for 10 or so years, and in color for a few years. Five directors - at varying stages of their careers - were making their names in producing excellent movies for entertainment. The five, John Ford, William Wyler, John Huston, Frank Capra, and George Stevens, had different reasons for their participation in the war effort, but all were active because of their patriotism to the United States. (Ford, Stevens, and Huston were US-born, while Frank Capra was brought here as a child, and William Wyler came a bit later in his life.) But when strange transmissions of pilots are recorded without an aircraft appearing on radar and bizarre cell phone signals are detected at towers hundreds of miles apart, the intelligence community team is set in motion, and US Air Force Reserve pilot Ford Stevens is asked to take on the most dangerous assignment of his life.After earning her degrees, Stevens worked at the Exxon Chemical Company for ten years in multiple engineering and manufacturing positions.
