Bring[s] a new perspective to World War II
literature...Exciting" -- Library Journal.
A powerful chronicle of loyalty, love, and heroism under fire,
this is the unforgettable memoir of a member of the Greatest
Generation who fought in America's greatest battles-and of the war
one man waged both in and out of the skies.
High-spirited young Robert Morgan was transformed from a
fast-living, privileged playboy who grew up hobnobbing with the
Vanderbilts into a steel-nerved pilot forged in the cauldron of
World War II's most dangerous and desperate aerial encounters. This
is the triumphant tale of that transformation-and of the plane and
crew that never failed to bring him back home.
