My Sights: When duty called, he accepted it with the same vehemence of gaining an education. Truly an inspiring read for anyone wishing to improve their lot in life. I also recommend this to any student thinking that life is too hard, or that earning an education is not expected of them. NonfictionLarge Print EditionThoroughly entertaining. BooklistJim Morehead enlisted in August 1940. In February 1942 he earned the first of two Distinguished Service Crosses. Here he describes the wartime service of flying the P-40 Warhawk single engine monoplane against the Japanese Zero. Despite the odds against them, these brave aviators showed the enemy what good old-fashioned guts and gunnery meant in aerial combat. Morehead is a born storyteller and relates the reality from painful to hilarious of life in wartime military service.*Includes photographs I recommend this book to anyone interested in history; especially
the WWII era as well as the Great Depression. I ranked this book a
four star vs. a five as the publisher, for reasons I do not understand,
cut several areas that would have added to the content. I know this
as I was given a copy of the original manuscript to read. I made several
remarks to Col. Morehead during our visit that prompted him to give
me a copy of the original. Hope that you enjoy it.

Warhawk (Warbird History) by Frederick A. Johnsen Paperback (February 1999) Book Description After the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk was responsible for holding the line in the Pacific for much of 1942. Even after the arrival of newer fighter types, the P-40 remained in demand in all theaters, most notably with the American Volunteer Group, or "Flying Tigers," in China. As such, the P-40 continued to pour out of factories, and by 1944 more than 13,000 had been constructed in ten variants. In this tribute to that glorious aircraft, author Frederick Johnsen examines the P-40's development, technological evolution, and changing roles during World War II. Included are 100 black-and-white archival photographs sourced from the best collections in the world. Paperback: 128 pages Publisher: Motorbooks Intl (February 1999) Language: English ISBN-10: 0760302537 ISBN-13: 978-0760302538 |

Tales Book Review
The Company flew many support missions and contracts in support of the military including: resupply of occupation forces in Japan, relocation of displaced persons after WWII, the Korean airlift, the Vietnam war, the Cambodian rice lift, and many relief flights for famine and earthquake victims. In addition to all this, the company grew to become the world's largest air freight line. They perfected the art of shipping live animal by air, wild as well as tame. Loads of breeding cattle to Europe and Asia, Pigs to China, race horses to and from the U.S. Australia and New Zealand, draft horses from France to Asia. Then there were the wild ones: monkeys, snakes, gorillas, bears, tigers, lions and who knows what else. The book is laced with humor as told by the people involved in the
specific event. Then there are many "bar storys", some told by the culprits
themselves, and some by the victims. Much of the humor was not funny at
the time, such as engine fires in the middle of the night, fuel gauges
approaching empty or a landing gear refusing to lock down.
