EXCERPT:

The first thing that strikes you is the size of the box -- it’s huge! The box is detailed enough with pictures and a brief history of the aircraft that you will carefully put it aside to perhaps cut out and use for a backdrop. But your attention to the rich detail of the package vanishes as soon as you open it up, because for the next five minutes, you sit there wondering how the hell they managed to shrink an actual aircraft into this box! It really is that good.

"I discovered to my amazement that the designers had included a gear-lock mechanism in each engine that would allow the propeller to only spin in the correct counter-rotation! Incredible!"

DICK BONG: AMERICA'S ACE OF ACES  $12.95 By George C. Kenney

The second edition of General George C. Kenney's book about Dick Bong.  It is unusual for a commanding officer to write a biography of one of his subordinates, but that is just what General Kenney has done. Originally published in 1960, this book provides a real glimpse at what life was like for fighter pilots in the Pacific theatre of WWII. Even better, it tells the story of our leading ace, Dick Bong.

On the Internet, a dead end is just a fork in the road...

This regional best seller is a keeper.  In addition to an exciting story, it's loaded with resources in the back of the book for those of you who might be trying to find out about your friends or relatives who were participants in WWII.

SYNOPSIS:
When charming, handsome Billy Wisner's P-38 fighter plane disappeared over the Italian Alps in 1944, all the U.S. government would tell his mother was that he was "missing, presumed killed." Heartbroken and frantic, she wrote letters to everyone she could think of but never got the answers she was looking for. She died years later, still desperate to know.

But we never know what legacies we leave, and unwittingly she had passed along her desire for the truth to her granddaughter. Fifty-six years after Billy vanished Diana Dale took advantage of the instant communications miracle of the Internet and discovered tantalizing clues to her uncle's fate.  Reaching out across cyberspace, she found and enlisted the help of a far-flung network of strangers who dedicated themselves to finding Billy.

The result is a compelling blend of history, mystery, discovery, and loss, as unlikely friendships are forged across cultures and continents.

And a life-long mystery is solved at last.
