Pearl Harbor Honor Flight: One Last Goodbye, is a beautiful color softcover book. Filled with pictures, this premium color edition was created to honor military veterans of the Greatest Generation for their courage and personal sacrifice during the attack on United States military forces at Pearl Harbor, HI, on 7 December 1941. Master photographers Billie and Robert Nicholson have assembled a photographic journey of six Honor Flight veterans from Pensacola, Florida during the week long 70th year commemoration of the attack, the last and final organized annual reunion of Pearl Harbor survivors. One veteran spoke of his desire to return to Pearl Harbor, "... to say one last goodbye to my friends and comrades who died that day and throughout the war."
Shared Glory captures the high drama of combat operations, the complexity of war machines and indelible changes to the lives of the men who fought World War II. Young women were left to sort out developing relationships as virtually all the males were either in service or on their way to donning a uniform. After the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, by the Japanese, U.S. Navy submariners wasted no time in striking back at Japan. This immediate retaliation both escalated sagging morale at home and punctured the Japanese bubble of perceived invincibility. United States Navy Lieutenant Linton Adams, and U.S. Army Air Corps Sergeant Jerry Wagner, have an issue to be ultimately resolved in the World War II torn southwest Pacific Ocean. In the interim, both travel harrowing paths, Adams through submarine warfare against Japanese war and merchant ships and Wagner in the bloody skies over Europe and Japan. Author D.M. Ulmer makes use of a rich and varied background to bring his superb novels to life. "Using true incidents," Ulmer says, "spices the tale and brings a certain credibility not found in contrived scenarios. Though I must remember to change names and protect the guilty." The book, fraught with World War II action scenes, required considerable research into submarine warfare in the southwest Pacific and aerial combat against Nazi Germany and the Empire of Japan.
"Paul Sherbo narrates a fast paced, page-turning timeline of events as described by U.S. Military members who endured the terrorist attack in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, on June 25th 1996. The blast killed 19 Airmen and injured hundreds more."--Page 4 of cover.
