Présentation de l'éditeur :
The combat careers of 22 different pilots from all the services are captured in this crisply written book which captivates the reader. The nearly half-million American aircrewmen who served during World War II have almost disappeared. And so have their stories. Award-winning writer and former fighter pilot Jay A. Stout uses Unsung Eagles to save an exciting collection of those accounts from oblivion. These are not rehashed tales from the hoary icons of the war. Rather, they are stories from the masses of largely unrecognized men whoin the aggregateactually won it. They are the recollections of your Uncle Frank who shared them only after having enjoyed a beer or nine, and of your old girlfriends grandfather who passed away about the same time she dumped you. And of the craggy guy who ran the towns salvage yard; a dusty, fly-specked B-24 model hung over the counter. These are everyman accounts that are important but fast disappearing. Ray Crandall describes how he was nearly knocked into the Pacific by a heavy cruisers main battery during the Second Battle of the Philippine Sea. Jesse Barkera displaced dive-bomber pilottells of dodging naval bombardments in the stinking mud of Guadalcanal. Bob Popeney relates how his friend and fellow A-20 pilot was blown out of formation by German antiaircraft fire: I could see the inside of the airplaneand I could see Nordstrom's eyes. He looked confusedand then immediately he flipped up and went tumbling down. The combat careers of 22 different pilots from all the services are captured in this crisply written book which captivates the reader not only as an engaging oral history, but also puts personal context into the great air battles of World War II.

Description du livre Paperback. Etat : New. New softcover in printed wraps. Text is clean and free of marks or underlining. Includes index and photo plates. 288 pp. Fast shipping in a secure book box mailer with tracking. "Jay Stout has written one of the finest tributes to the fighting men of the greatest generation, concentrating not on the famous aces whose actions are well known, but on the 'ordinary man' who rose to greatness when the situation demanded it. The author's deep research and innate writing ability merge to make this book a must for every aviation library."--Walter Boyne, former director of the National Air & Space Museum of the Smithsonian Institution "Unsung Eagles offers a rare cockpit perspective of World War II in the air. Jay Stout's anthology features an extraordinary variety of accounts from airmen--many now deceased--that will become more valuable as the generation that fought the greatest air campaigns of all time continues to depart the pattern."--Barrett Tillman, author of Whirlwind: The Air War Against Japan, 1942-1945 The nearly half-million American airmen who served during World War II have almost disappeared.
