About the Book
The story of an ordinary depression era kid playing a small part in a big war. It took a lot of luck to make it through four years of flying the various army fighter planes over a lot of the world. Starting from Aviation Cadet training the trail goes to Oahu and isolated atolls in the central Pacific, to the Solomons, then to New Guinea, and finally to the Mighty Eighth over Europe.
