About this title

Synopsis

This the true story of the coming of age of a young man, as seen against the backdrop of World War II. With unusual emotional power and artistic sensibility, Fredric Arnold renders an extraordinary account of his experiences as a fighter pilot in combat, recording events with the authenticity of an eyewitness. The only Jewish pilot in his P-38 squadron, he faces devastating anti-Semitism on two fronts—in the battle against the s and within his own fighter group.
