My father served in the 45th during World War 2 - he was a pilot - recon - and flew the piper cub-grasshopper.
I am a little confused about who wrote this. But anyway, here is a good book that he might like to read. It was published in 1968 but probably didn't get distributed very much. Now it was just re-released this year. I'm selling signed copies of it.
Alone and Unarmed
Staff Sgt. Kowalik was a Army pilot for the 88th Division's artillery ---the only pilot not an officer. He flew an L-4 Piper Cub to spot for the artillery and to drop messages to forward troops. He was both pilot and observer. This is a great account of the experiences of an Army pilot in Italy.
Sgt Kowalik tells it like it was without any distracting dialogue. Good details of his experiences.
305 pages, several photos & documents, small index.
List Price: $25.00
