About This Item
Washington: Smithsonian Institution Press [1-58834-056-2] 2002. (Hardcover) Near fine in near fine dust jacket. 294pp. Photographs, index. "These accounts, which redefine heroism, feature some of the most famous airmen in history - Frank Luke Jr., Jimmy Doolittle, Joe Foss, David McCampbell, Leo Thorsness, and Patrick Brady, to name a few - and lesser-known fliers who finally get the recognition they deserve. In World War I, Lieutenants Edwin Russell Bleckley and Harold Ernest Goettler flew in the first sustained aerial resupply operation in history. To accurately drop supplies to the 77th Infantry's 'lost battalion,' they flew so low that German troops perched on French cliffs were firing down on them". Book about 77th Infantry Battalion, Patrick Brady, Jimmy Doolittle, Frank Luke Jr., David McCampbell, Medals of Honor & Leo Thorsness. Foreword by Joe Foss. (Miltary, Aviation--Military, Military Medals, World War 1, World War II).
