During the summers he worked as a junior forest ranger in Estes Park. In the fall of 1938 he enrolled at Colorado College, where he pursued his interest in writing with vigor. In June 1941, he locked himself up in a fraternity house and wrote twenty-seven stories. He sent some of his short stories to agents Ruth and Max Aley in New York, who asked him to send more. Hocking everything he could, he began hitchhiking to New York. The Saturday Evening Post accepted a whole series based on his experiences as a junior ranger in Estes Park. In January 1943 he was accepted into the U.S. Air Force, receiving his commission as a second lieutenant in November. He left for a combat assignment in England in March, 1944. In England he flew daily on raids and wrote vigorous, fiery articles for the London Daily Mail. He found time to write instructive pieces for Air Force and his first and only book. That work, Serenade to the Big Bird, is a journal published by his mother after his death. On November 26, 1944, Stiles was shot down in a P-51 while flying a fighter escort mission to Hanover, Germany, dying at the age of 23. The young veteran of 35 bomber missions received the Air Medal, the Distinguished Flying Cross and a Purple Heart. His letters during his Air Force days, which occasionally bear the mark of military censors, offer an intriguing glimpse into the daily life and thoughts of a young pilot during World War II ; FINE.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. This copy inscribed by John Howland Snow and dated in the year of publication. Together with John Howland Snow, Michigan Representative Paul W. Shafer authored this 1953 exposé on the education system of the United States, which was delivered in the House of Representatives on March 21, 1952. In The Turning of the Tides, the authors take the position that the education system was an alien collectivist (socialist) philosophy, much of which came from Europe, crashed onto the shores of the American nation, bringing with it radical changes in economics, politics, and education, funded by several wealthy American families and their tax-exempt foundations. Quite uncommon signed by Snow. Inscribed by Author(s). Book.…
