Letters to Don

Like millions of his peers, Clint leaves farm, family, budding career, and flies into World War II, a new pilot in a new arm of the Army Air Corps, known as TROOP CARRIER COMMAND. Over a nineteen month span, Clint's letters to his oldest brother chronicle elements of training, deployment, combat, hi-Jinks and outlandish experiences, all while doing his part to bring down the Nazi war machine. Limited by censorship and operational tempo, LETTERS TO DON follows Clint's path, annotated by the larger saga of events and places swirling around the tale, as he shared it, with his big brother. Hidden in his words are anecdotes of deployed life, the stuff of war, a romance, and the experiences that forged soldiers like him, and those who soldiered on the home front, into the Greatest Generation.
