UP, UP AND OVER

Book Cover & Preview Text
As I grow older, it becomes increasingly harder to remember events that happened so long ago. Sometimes pictures, movies or people will jog my memory and I will recall specific events. In the middle of a reconnaissance mission over North Vietnam, an amazing occurrence happened. Time stopped for me and I stepped back into my past. 2 Minutes of vivid images of my last 30 of living passed through my mind in slow motion. Memories that were stored in the back of my brain came to life. Now, 46 years later, I still remember those early images as if I were still there. They started with the bombing of Pearl Harbor in 1941 and ended with the pilot saying: “It’s over, let’s get out of here!”
