Publisher's Synopsis
"Until that day, young Bob Binzer only dreams of flying. He climbs the tallest trees on his street to watch planes take off from Chicago's Meigs Field and imagines being an aviator. When America joins World War II, he enlists in the Army Air Corps with plans to earn his wings, only to be assigned first duty as a radio operator. But on that day, Pearl Harbor is attacked and everything changes. Bob finally gets his wish, but little does he know he will join the famous 14th Airforce in China as a CBI Transport Pilot flying C-47s into hostile territory. Take a seat in the cockpit as he navigates over one of the most dangerous air routes in the world, the China Hump, where every day he dodges enemy fighters, makes narrow escapes, and finally bails out of a doomed plane."--.
