Scarce if signed, rare with the illustrated bookmark for the book and a business card sized item on the book, also illustrated, laid in. Griffin Bell studied journalism at the University of Tennessee and worked for several newspapers. She also wrote a Navy wives column for The Albany Herald in Georgia. While waiting for her first husband's expected return from the war, Griffin Bell hosted a television talk show and was a "weather girl." This is the memoir of the wife of an American Navy pilot shot down and captured over Hanoi on Ho Chi Minh's birthday, 1976, and her long wait for his return, only to learn that he had died while a prisoner. James Griffin was interned as a Prisoner of War in North Vietnam after he was shot down on May 19, 1967 and was held until his death in captivity two days later on May 21, 1967. His remains were recovered and returned on March 13, 1973. This is also the story of a second Navy pilot whose plane went down in 1965 and, after seven and a half years of captivity returned home to find that he had "lost" his wife and family. This is the story of one wife and two heroes whose lives meshed to bring a happy ending to a saga that had few happy ending. Dora Smith Griffin tells her story in the present tense, to allow the reader to walk in her shoes, read her mail from the air war, and sleep beside the man who still has nightmares some 35 years after he was tortured in Vietnam. The Heroes' Wife is the story of Dora Smith Griffin Bell. Her first husband, a navy pilot, was shot down over Hanoi on Ho Chi Minh's birthday, 1967 and captured. In this book Dora shares letters Jim Griffin wrote home from the war and her own experiences during years of hopeful waiting, only to learn at the end of the conflict that her husband had died just days after capture. After the war Dora married Jim Bell, another POW who had survived seven an a half years in Hanoi, and she tells about his experiences and his nightmares. Bell was a 1954 graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy and held master's degrees in aeronautical engineering and science administration. Bell entered flight training in Pensacola, Fla., and won his Navy wings of gold in November 1955. In 1965, his squadron flew a reconnaissance mission aboard the USS Independence in the Gulf of Tonkin off the coast of North Vietnam. He fell victim to anti-aircraft fire on a low level mission north of Haiphong. In February 1973, then Commander Bell returned to the United States as part of Operation Homecoming after spending 2,677 days in captivity. After rehabilitation at the National Naval Medical Center in Bethesda, he attended the Industrial College of the Armed Forces at Fort McNair in Washington, D.C. From August 1973 to November 1975, he was commanding officer of Fleet Composite Squadron Seven in San Diego. He served in the Naval Air Systems Command until retirement on March 1, 1979. His military honors included the Distinguished Flying Cross, two Silver Stars, two Legion of Merit awards, two Purple Hearts, Bronze Star Medal with combat "V" and one Gold Star, two Air Medals with Bronze Star, Navy Unit Commendation Medal, Combat Action ribbon, NAF Meritorious Unit Commendation, Vietnam Service Medal, Prisoner of War Medal, Vietnam Campaign Medal and National Defense Medal.
