The Able Queen

A tale of survival and adventure, this rare first-person eyewitness account of a young man's experiences as a Combat Transport Pilot in China during World War II tells the tale of a young boy who follows his call to become a pilot and enlists in the 14th Airforce in the service of his country for the adventure of a lifetime. As a new pilot, he follows the deadly call of the Aluminum Trail. Follow him on his dangerous daily missions across the ocean from Indiana to India, then to China where he rescues downed pilots, dodges air raids, delivers critical war supplies under fire, and finally steps out the door of his failing craft, "Able Queen," to become one of those in need of rescue. This book makes history come to life.
