Varig's winter timetable from 1986.. an airline that was from an exotic far away land as seen by me back then. Their DC-10s were coming into Mirabel Airport and for me that was a highlight of any planespotting trip to YMX.

10 Years later Varig would cease operations and re-emerge as a much smaller scale carrier.. such a shame for an airline that started in 1927

This is probably one of my oldest timetables go way way back when I was just a little kid.. The 747 was just introduced a year earlier and the VC-10 and 707 were BOAC's long haul workhorse aircraft.. the VC-10 here taking a back seat to the new 747-100 that makes front cover. Kind cool :-)

William Fairbairn's Timetable of Death has been used for years as a standard reference tool by students of edged-weapon tactics. When Christopher Grosz began studying the timetable to validate its use as a reference for law-enforcement responses to edged-weapons attacks, he made a surprising discovery - the information in it was flawed. Grosz began a thorough analysis of Fairbairn's work, human anatomy and the realities of effective knife targeting. He later teamed up with knife expert Michael Janich to document it all in this book. Research was conducted with the help of recognized experts in both the medical and tactical fields. The result is a modern, medically accurate version of Fairbairn's original timetable - plus contemporary self-defense applications of the updated data - that will become the new definitive resource for all students of edged-weapons tactics.
