Synopsis
Step into the shadowed aftermath of World War II with A Nice Piece of Flying, Robert J. Flood’s masterful collection of short stories that lays bare the hidden battles fought long after the guns fell silent.
Drawing from his own harrowing experiences as a B-17 bombardier and POW, Flood crafts five unforgettable tales that capture the quiet heroism, simmering resentments, and aching nostalgia of men forever changed by war.
From a desperate joyride in a stolen P-51 Mustang to a chance reunion at a national cemetery, these stories reveal the cracks beneath the surface of postwar America—where fathers and sons struggle for understanding, old wounds refuse to heal, and the line between glory and regret blurs with every passing year. Told in a voice as direct as it is compassionate, A Nice Piece of Flying invites readers to witness the moments of rebellion, reconciliation, and raw humanity that defined a generation.
Perfect for fans of literary fiction and historical drama, this collection is a moving tribute to the men who returned home, only to find themselves fighting for meaning in a world that no longer made sense. Discover the stories behind the silence—pick up A Nice Piece of Flying and experience the legacy of the Greatest Generation like never before.
