    • Příběhy tajných misí Charlese Pickarda, pilota, který se stal příslušníkem RAF ještě před započetím druhé světové války a v době jejího propuknutí byl příslušníkem 99. bombardovací letky a později se měl dokonce stát velitelem české 311. letky. Zúčastnil se známého Brunevalského náletu a do popředí veřejného zájmu se dostal za svou roli ve filmu F jako Freddie, jenž byl vyroben na základně RAF v Tempsfordu. Odtud jako pilot Lysanderu vzlétal na operace, které ho zaváděly hluboko do nepřítelem okupovaných oblastí, zejména při tajných nočních výsadcích agentů a zásob. Znovu a znovu úspěšně demonstroval svůj nevšední cit a schopnost pro noční létání. Ironií osudu zahynul, když se zúčastnil slavného náletu na věznici v Amiens.

    • Listy federalistů jsou souborem 85 článků obhajujících ratifikaci Ústavy Spojených států, z nichž 77 bylo publikováno v The Independent Journal a The New York Packet mezi říjnem 1787 a srpnem 1788. Tyto eseje poskytují přehled filosofie a motivací navrhovaného systému vlády, přičemž jejich autoři usilovali o ovlivnění volby ve prospěch ratifikace a o usměrnění budoucích interpretací Ústavy. Historik Richard B. Morris je považuje za „nesrovnatelný výklad Ústavy“, klasiku politické vědy. Autorství článků bylo dlouho tajemstvím, ale většina je připisována Hamiltonovi, Madisonovi a Jayovi. Hamilton napsal 51 článků, Madison 29 a Jay 5, přičemž některé články vznikly spoluprací Madison a Hamiltona. Autoři používali pseudonym „Publius“ na počest římského konzula. Madison, Hamilton a Jay se stali významnými postavami americké politiky. Mezi klíčovými esejemi vyniká číslo 10, kde Madison obhajuje rozšířenou republiku, a číslo 14, které deklaruje vhodnost USA pro tento typ vlády. Hamilton v čísle 84 argumentuje proti potřebě Listiny práv, zatímco v čísle 78 představuje doktrínu právní oponentury federálních soudů. Další významné eseje zahrnují číslo 70, které obhajuje jednotného šéfa exekutivy, a číslo 51, které zdůrazňuje systém brzd a protivah.
