Includes Introduction: Europe and America, 1916--How Very Young We Were; Prologue: Couderkerque, Belgium, October 14, 1918--The Handkerchief; Section 1: Earth: Section II: Air; Section III: Fire; Section IV: Home. Also includes Epilogue, New Haven, 2006; Notes; Acknowledgments; and Index. Marc Wortman is an award-winning popular historian and journalist. His narrative histories include 1941: Fighting the Shadow War: A Divided America in a World at War; The Millionaires' Unit: The Aristocratic Flyboys Who Fought the Great War and Invented American Air Power; and The Bonfire: The Siege and Burning of Atlanta. The Millionaires' Unit inspired the multi-award-winning feature-length documentary of the same name. His articles have appeared in many publications, including Vanity Fair, Smithsonian, Air&Space and Time. He is a frequent contributor to The Daily Beast on American military and political history and other subjects. The Millionaires' Unit is the story of a gilded generation of young men from the zenith of privilege: a Rockefeller, a Taft, the son of the head of the Union Pacific Railroad, a son of J.P. Morgan's leading partner, and several who counted friends and relatives among presidents and statesmen of the day. Most were students at Yale in 1916, striving for rewards on the athletic fields, in school organizations, and in Skull & Bones. They had it all and, remarkably by modern standards, they were prepared to risk it all to fight a distant war in France. Driven by the belief that their membership in the American elite required certain sacrifices, schooled in heroism and the nature of leadership, they wee determined to be first into the conflict, leading the way ahead of America's declaration that it would join the Great war in Europe. At the heart of the group was the Yale flying club, six of whose members are the heroes of this book. They would share rivalries over girlfriends, jealousies over membership in Skull & Bones, and fierce ambition to be the most daring young man over the battlefields of France, where the casualties among flyers were chillingly high. One of the six would go on to become the principal architect of America's first strategic bomber force. Another became the navy's only Air Ace. Others would bring home decorations and tales of the high life in Paris. Some would not return, having made the greatest sacrifice all. The member of the Millionaires' Unit shared a stirring, romantic adventure--together growing from boys into leaders in the first terrible, modern war, putting their live on the line because they believed in the cause and in the idea that it was their duty to do so.

This is another paragraph Product Description: In 1916, just thirteen years after the Wright brothers' first flight, a group of twenty-eight college students, nearly all of them from Yale, decided to try the new sport of motorized flight and formed a campus flying club. The boys had more than fun in mind. Believing that America would soon enter the war raging in Europe, they wanted to help their woefully unprepared nation (which at the time had an air force smaller than Bulgaria's) ready itself for what was sure to be a hard fight. Most were just teenagers, but they were also the sons of America's early 20th century aristocracy - one a Rockefeller, one whose father headed the Union Pacific railroad empire, others who traced their roots to the Mayflower, several who counted friends and relatives among Presidents and statesmen - and all fabulously wealthy. These sons of the elite were schooled in heroism even before their nation called upon them. America was going to go to war: they would lead the way; they knew that it could cost many lives; and that just made it all the more right that they be the first to fly into battle. This is their story.
