THE FLIGHT THAT HELPED WIN A DECISIVE WORLD WAR II BATTLE
A book for anyone who appreciates the Greatest Generation’s wartime sacrifice
It overviews the life of a World War II pilot who signed up with the Army Air Force because he wanted a better life than he expected on his family’s Montana ranch during the Great Depression.
He and his crew of six attacked Japan’s mighty navy head-on on June 4, 1942. Muri buzzed the deck of the carrier Akagi. He brought his bullet-ridden plane and crew safely back to Midway. Muri lived to age 94, able to tell his story of courage during a baptism of fire. I am privileged to share that story with my readers.
All World War II vets, including posthumously my father who came back and his cousin, a Marine who died at Saipan in 1944, appreciate your interest in the lives of men and women whose sacrifices made possible the freedoms we enjoy.
