Top Stick: with Some Help from a Guardian Angel Harold Jacobs

A saga of a young American boy, reared in the U. S. heartland during the hard years of the 1930s. He was in his prime for entry into World War II, which just happened to coincide with his dream and vision of becoming an Army Air Force pilot. His goal of winning silver wings was fulfilled, but his longing to fly in the war as a fighter pilot faded, as his career assignment made an abrupt change of direction. He slowly learned that his assignment of 'flights to everywhere' could be very interesting and rewarding. This is not a wide-ranging memoir, but a story with considerable distinction and information about the World War II period that may be new and surprising to many readers. Fasten your seat belts and delve into this fine story, told just the way it was, by this most lucky young man.
