I highly recommend this book for readers of any age. However it was
particularly interesting to me as a fellow member of the same squadron and
group. We were both on many of the same missions and his recollections
matched my own. An excellent contrast of what bomb raids were like in those
days with 700-800 bombers compared to more precision bombing done today with
far, far fewer planes.
The first half of the book describes life in the 20's, 30's and 40's in
Texas. Although my experiences were in NJ many were similar and for those
not living in those times a glimpse of what it was like.

I really enjoyed reading about this young boy's life in east Texas during
the Depression. Gives one a good idea of what life was really like back
then. The small town boy then grows up to go fight in a world war as a
bomber pilot. Interesting accounts of each mission he flew over Europe. A
well-written book.
Reviewer: A reader from Nottingham, NH USA
This is a fascinating story of a boy growing up in Nacogdoches, a small town
located along the historical Old Spanish Trail in East Texas. The author
writes about his school memories and his boyhood adventures as he grew up to
become a bomber pilot in World War II. He then describes in detail his 35
bombing missions over various cities in Europe and his meeting a beautiful
young Italian girl who returned with him to the U.S. as his wife. It is a
spellbinding accounting of the author's journey from childhood during the
Great Depression to a devastating war in Europe and his safe return home
with
an Italian bride.

With a special interest in World War II and the 461st Bombardment Group in
particular, I found this book excellent. Most of the men who fought during
WWII were in their late teens and early 20s. It's amazing to be able to read
about their activities.
