Bücher von Wilmer Plate

It is 1934, and as the storm clouds of war are casting their shadows over the European Continent, the British Isles, and North Africa, Wilmer Plate enters the freshman class at the Crane High School in Crane, Texas. Before and after school, he works at the family dairy. His early years at the dairy instill a fine work ethic and a sense of responsibility. He, also, gains a feel for management, an experience that proves helpful in his role as the aircraft commander of a combat flight crew. Soon after the attack on Pearl Harbor, he enlists in the army and earns an appointment to flight training. Follow him through the rigorous flight and combat training, and experience the adrenaline rushes and gut-wrenching fears with him as he brings his B-24 bomber and its crew home safely thirty-one times.
