Publisher's Synopsis
At just 18 years old, Hugh Arnold set out on a journey that would shape the rest of his life-training to become a B-17 pilot during World War II. Through a collection of deeply personal letters written between 1943 and 1945, this book traces his transformation from a hopeful young man into a wartime aviator. From the early days of flight school to the intensity of preparation for combat, Hugh's words offer an intimate portrait of courage, growth, and the unbreakable bonds of family and friendship in a world at war.
