Fighters, Bombers, Tanks, Wolves - William Myers - Bog

Fighter pilot cousins Jason and Peter, meet as enemies in the skies over Europe. Their friend David - an Ojibwa tail gunner - is shot down over Germany, and is relentlessly pursued by Roland, a committed Nazi. He is also sought by Peter, whose parents have recently been killed in an allied air raid. Jason's younger brother Jack commands a Sherman tank of the 8th New Brunswick Hussars on the Western Front, bedding women and eventually becoming witness to horrific atrocity. Previously, during a canoe trip on Lake Superior (Gitchigumi) in 1938, Peter and his cousins were taken by David to visit the ancient mystical pictographs at Agawa Bay. The four boys go through a life-threatening experience, which may later influence their actions when a confluence of harrowing events brings them all together again, to clash on a battlefield in Holland.The book is accurate in its historical chronology, locations, and technical details.
