Synopsis
To the Max: A Story of Poverty, War, and Success This inspirational living history will be of interest to young people, military veterans of the past ninety years, and all Americans who lived through the Great Depression and World War II. Max Carr s story illuminates pivotal events in history, bringing them to life for the reader. The biography reveals that Max Carr s journey began in urban poverty during the Great Depression of the 1930s and led, when he was in his early twenties, to the skies above the Himalayan Mountains. There, during World War II, he flew 283 combat missions as a cargo pilot in the China-Burma-India Theatre. When the war was over, Carr returned to his home in Austin, Texas, where he resumed working for Southwestern Bell Telephone. He married, became a father of two, and built a thriving career. His marriage ended and then, when Max was fifty years old, he met and fell in love with Cassandra Colvin. With that, a new life of exciting adventure and prosperity began.
