More DescriptionThis book is about a large baby boomer family from the unique perspective of father and son. The father's early formation, his trials and training leading up to Arial Combat during WWII as a nineteen-year-old Pilot of a B-24 over Germany. It's a story about a man finding something he likes to do and finding he's good at it, not knowing the price to be paid in active and repressed PTSD. The story of a military wife who has to deal with that dichotomy along with her six little boys and two girls compounded by the disruption in family life from the constant moves. Then comes the Vietnam and the lottery for the son.
