Trade paperback. Condizione: Very good. Linda L. Russ (Cover illustration). (illustratore). Presumed First Edition, First printing. [1], iii, 296, [18] pages. Illustrations. Signed by Braucht on the title page. Previous owner's mailing label inside the front cover. Abandoned by his parents when he was almost five, John Braucht was placed in an orphanage and adopted by a family, whose high morals became the cornerstone shaping his life. At age 19, feeling the strong call of patriotism, he joined the United States Army. At age 24, John earned his wings and became a pilot in the Army air Corps. He was sent to England to destroy Nazi weapons transportation in Germany. While flying back from a dangerous mission, he was attacked by three Nazi war plants. He valiantly defeated two attackers, but was shot down over the English Channel by the third. Rescued from treacherous waters by the British, John an American pilot, was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross by Britain's Royal Air Force. Johns life was spared for a purpose. Part of this purpose was for him to share his intriguing saga of how tragic beginnings can have heroic endings. Fascinating snapshot in time from 1922 to 2000, covering major and minor events of most of the Twentieth Century, social conditions, and--of course--service in World War II.
