About the Book
"Four
Arrows Squadron is a stirring and realistic story of war.
High School students who read fiction but who claim to
dislike history will learn something from this novel and enjoy doing
so." Rodney Atkinson, Educator
"From
the fascinating historical perspective of World War I, Four Arrows
Squadron shows us that the principles of personal courage and
camaraderie remain unchanged from the beginning of fighter aviation
through our present day." - Lt. Col. Bob Hervatine
The
inscription on the World War I Victory Medal refers to the war as
"The Great War for Civilization," also known at the time
as a "great struggle between good and evil."
Of all the Americans who answered the call to serve, none
better represented the idealism and confidence of the nation in that
age than those who fought with the Army Air Service.
The
confidence of the inexperienced young pilots was tried by fire in
the summer of 1918 when they faced massed formations of the best
planes and pilots that Germany could put in the air.
And their idealism was sorely tested as they continued to
kill and die throughout the campaigns of autumn, even as they
pressed on to victory. |
