From the back cover ...
"I watched in horror: Holes ate away the cowling's skin, the size of a boot, the size of a prize sow, and finally one massive iron shard as big as a barn door drifted into my trajectory. I had enough time to wonder where it would make contact; it turned on edge and sheared off four feet of my left wing."
At 21 years old, American fighter pilot Tom Easterling has spread napalm and strafed Nazi bunkers for General Patton, dive-bombed enemy positions while approaching the speed of sound -- and now must leap from his burning P-47 fighter-bomber into the heart of Nazi Germany.
On the ground, dragged by his parachute he streaks a snowy field with blood, unable to hide due to his two shattered legs. Suddenly he is the "invader" within reach of frenzied German civilians who vent their hatred , beating him until SS troops drive them off with bayonets ...
Easterling's heart wrenching, sometimes humorous story is a tribute to the man whose family heritage and military training shaped him for survivging unimaginable physical and psychological suffering as a prisoner of war. His exciting account illluminates the motives of most World War II veterans who flew or marched off to war.
And above it all, First Lieutenant Lewis T. Easterling, USAF (Retired), leaves a courageous "furrow in the clouds" for us to follow in overcoming our own traumas and tragedies -- common enemies of every man or woman.
