No defects noted to this tight book with no marks or stamps. Dust jacket has very minor edge wear. As they were all across the country, the years of the Great Depression were hard for the people of Poverty Flats, perhaps better known as Missoula, Montana. As Thomas M. Tomlinson discovered growing up, there wasn't a lot of action in the area. There was a local aviation service that supported the U.S. Forest Service's firefighting activities and offered the opportunity for an adventurous young man to learn how to fly. Still, while following in the steps of Lindbergh was glamorous, it offered no escape for a Poverty Flats teenager from the grinding depression. The advent of World War II in 1939 however, changed the situation overnight. The Royal Canadian Air Force needed pilots, and lots of them, to help fulfill its military obligations. With Canada just a short trip north, opportunity beckoned. Joining the RCAF, our Threadbare Buzzard improved flying skills at a number of Canadian air force training schools. Following Pearl Harbor, he and most of the other Americans serving in Canada were repatriated into the U S. military. Most joined the U.S. Army Air Corps. Tomlinson was one of the few who chose the Marine Corps. Following naval aviator training in Pensacola he was off to the Southwest Pacific and Guadalcanal to join Marine Fighting Squadron (YMF) 214. Known as the Swashbucklers during their first two combat tours, the squadron was hijacked by an ambitious officer named Gregory Boyington while standing down following the end of its second combat tour. YMF-214 became the Black Sheep and the Swashbucklers were broken up and assigned to other squadrons. Later in the war, while flying off the USS Essex, Tomlinson's four-plane division was assigned as a high-altitude radio relay for navy aircraft searching for the Japanese super battleship Yamat. During this mission Tomlinson encountered the jet stream, at that time a little-known phenomena, especially among fighter pilots accustomed to lower, less hostile altitudes. Hours later, lost, out of radio range, and out of fuel, the division ditched in the northwest Pacific. Three of the four Flying Leathernecks were rescued by the Devil (SS 400). Thomas M. Tomlinson was born in 1921 in Wisdom, Montana. After the war he settled outside San Francisco where he was a successful general contractor. Retiring from contracting at age 45 he went to sea during the Vietnam War with the Military Sealift Cornmand ultimately rising to become a senior master. - From the dust jacket flap.…
