Author inscribed on the half-title page verso: "June 9, 1987 To Major Pat Patterson Having served in two wars & kept 'em flying for the Air Corps/Air Force you know the value of fraternity - one of the values I write about. It took a lot of this between your pilots & crew to maintain your P-38's & P-51's to keep them combat ready. For us POW's we also needed that bond to combat the enemy in the battle for our minds. Hope you enjoy reading about the barbed wire side of the fight. Respectfully, Capt. John W. Thornton". A note, included with the book, says: "Dear Dad, Thought you'd enjoy your own copy of this book. Capt. Thornton is a most impressive man and a good friend. As an aviator, he was extremely interested in your experiences with the P-38's & P-51's. ... One last note - all profits from the book go to the Naval Aviation Museum. Capt. Thornton never took a cent. ... Matt" First printing.
