A memoir shaped by a life that stretched from the Great Depression to the modern age of aviation has continued its own journey across major international literary stages during the year of its author’s centenary. A Burning Desire to Fly by Charles Cone, exhibited at Frankfurter Buchmesse in 2025 and featured at the London Book Fair earlier this year, is currently on display at the 2026 Beijing International Book Fair (June 17–21) at the China National Convention Center in Beijing. For Cone, who turned 100 in January 2026, the progression from Frankfurt to London to Beijing reflects the same persistence that defines the memoir itself. Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 28th Jul 2026 – The title comes from a Navy psychologist’s 1943 description of Cone’s motivation: a “burning desire to fl...

A single thread of purpose runs through A Burning Desire to Fly: the conviction, tested by the Great Depression, World War II, and the ordinary erosions of a long life, that a dream pursued with enough determination can be lived. Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 28th Jul 2026 – Charles Cone made himself a promise as a boy on a New York farm in the 1930s and spent the next eight decades fulfilling it—through Navy flight training, combat missions over the Pacific and Korea, Cold War bomber duty with Strategic Air Command, and, decades later, a cockpit he still climbed into at ninety-nine. Cone was born on a small farm in upstate New York in 1926, just two weeks before his mother’s death, into a poverty so lean that his family had no bank account and debt because there was no money for e...

At 99 years old, Charles Cone still remembers what it felt like to lift off the ground for the first time. He can‌ still get himself into a cockpit—a fact he proved to a third-grade class years after most pilots had retired from flying. That lifelong passion for aviation lies at the heart of his memoir, A Burning Desire to Fly. Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 28th Jul 2026 – Born in a farmhouse in Wyoming County, New York, in January 1926, Cone’s story begins not with airplanes but with hardship: his mother died two weeks after his birth, and he came of age on a struggling family farm during the Great Depression. That resilience carried him into the Navy during World War II, where he trained as a pilot and flew combat and patrol missions across the Pacific, weathering a typhoon and th...

San Francisco, California, Jul 28, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Professional development has long been viewed as one of the most important tools for improving classroom instruction. Yet many teachers continue to say that existing training programs fall short of helping them address the realities they face every day. Limited collaboration, generic training sessions, and insufficient support for emerging classroom technologies have left many educators wanting a more practical approach to professional learning. According to recent education research, fewer than 15% of teachers report that their current professional development provides them with adequate access to subject-matter expertise or instructional materials. Many educators also say they want learning opportunities that are personalized to thei...

Miami, United States, July 27th, 2026, FinanceWire Is there another China trade coming? One contrarian answer in finance says yes, and it has nothing to do with stocks, supply chains, or tariffs. It is patents. SIM IP, the Miami-based intellectual property investment firm led by Erich Spangenberg, has spent the past fifteen months buying patent portfolios at a pace its industry rarely sees. People close to the firm describe a deliberate focus on patents sourced from Chinese technology companies, in the areas where European patent enforcement now bites hardest. The firm operates as a principal, buying with its own capital rather than earning fees on other people’s money. Together, the purchases look less like a licensing business and more like a directional trade. The Asset Class Instituti...
