Congrats to one who just keeps on trucking. Your knowledge is so specific and not available many places. Spread it around. WW2 lessons are still very useful today.

Gotta add my congrats to the wave praise that's already hit the beach. I became a Cleaver fan when I read The Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club. Now I'm an addict.

Congratulations! It looks great, and the blurbs are impressive. I'm pretty sure my father was USAAF, although being color-blind he couldn't be a pilot. He was definitely in North Africa and Italy. He rarely talked about the war, but he did say that Joseph Heller's CATCH-22 (which both of us loved) described what the war was like where he was.

The next book, "Mediterranean Sweep," is the Italian Campaign, and the real story of Joe Heller is included.

Ay include where my nephew was killed. His brother wanted to write about his war experience but he never did.
