A couple of small dings to front wrapper, wrappers clean and bright, else fine with no internal markings This books chronicles the thrilling story of 20-year-old Wes Coss, a US Arny Air Corp pilot 1st Lt. whose powerful desire to fly set him on a collision course with history, In 1944 while piloting his B-17 "Stardust" Wes and his small crew were shot down by German fighters over Southern France. Aided by the French Resistance, Coss evaded capture only to tackle a harrowing winter crossing of the Pyrenees Mountains into Spain. Leo D. Hymas [1926-2016], a previous owner of this book, was Patriarch of the Everett Stake of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. He was in the Army's 97th Infantry Division, serving in WWII for two years. Later in life he shared his war experiences as a concentration camp liberator, representing the Holocaust Center for Humanity. Hymas loved everything about flying. He shared ownership of a Great Lakes biplane which he flew to the Oshkosh fly-in and he worked in the aerospace industry and retired from Boeing. Signed by Author(s).
