This program is free to the public, but registration is requested at https://forms.gle/9qhHn4zb4cejJDo57 About the Book: This powerful story brings WWII history to life through the vivid, unfiltered letters of a young aviator. In his own words, readers witness his journey from a fresh-faced recruit to a battle-hardened combat pilot and, ultimately, a prisoner of war—all within three transformative years. Through his candid letters to his mother and father, we see a rare, intimate view of his daily experiences, capturing moments of humor, resilience, and raw honesty. Rediscovered decades later, these letters are a poignant gift, offering an authentic glimpse into one man’s personal wartime journey and his unwavering connection with family.
