Historie

These letters were discovered in an Army Air Force footlocker after being locked away for almost 80 years. Follow the story of one World War 2 Army Air Force soldier, Glenn Max Whitacre, from Bowling Green Ohio through basic training, schooling, combat prep, and into battle. He wrote home almost every day to keep in touch with his family, his friends, and the girl he loved. While also sharing details of everyday military life, as he prepares for, and eventually enters into the battle. These letters create a story not only about one young man's military service, but about life in America during the 1940's. When the world was at war. And the greatest generation put everything aside to fight and, if necessary, die for their country.

Volume 1 - Include letters from induction, through basic training, Radio Operator/Mechanic School, and Gunnery School. At which time he's granted his much anticipated Furlough home.

Volume 2 - Include all remaining letters during flight and combat training, as well as his travels overseas, combat missions, and an unfortunate sudden end to the correspondence'.
