Country:  | How we won the war
I got an e-mail from a gentleman who is a WWII Air Corps and infantry vet. He has some very interesting stories. He has one book out and is working on a second. His website has some samples of the writings that will be part of the second book and is well worth the read. How We Won The War!

Country: | Gee.... and I thought John Wayne won the war ! He did everything from the
Flying Tigers to Iwo Jima, with some time in the Navy, too.

Country: | Yeah, the Tommy and the hotel was pretty funny. I read through all of them and thought you guys would enjoy them as much as I did.

Country:  | Here were many books, articles, comments and documentary TV programs like a "How We Lost The War" and some are still sticky.
Starting the war was wrong. | |
