One More Mission: A Journey from Childhood to War

Rating:
Summary: Sightful For All
Review: Great reading about a boy growing up during the Depression only
to face WWII after highschool.
If you read this book I guarantee you'll finish with a better
understanding of our American history, how life was back then,
and a new appreciation for our lives today.

Summary: One More Mission
Review: 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.

Summary: Interesting reading.
Review: 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.

Summary: Excellent book about life during WWII
Review: 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.
