Destination Korea
Dana Abbott Curtis served as an infantryman and an engineer for the U.S. Army in the Korean War. This book was created by his granddaughter (Dillard) to commemorate the 50th anniversary of his death. The text comprises, mainly, letters written by Curtis to his wife between January, 1950, and April, 1951. Speaking as one of thousands of Americans who served in the Korean War, Curtis provides the reader with a sense of "...the family and friends involved, the small town concerns which persisted, and the values which have made service in national interest so eloquently clothed in gallantry and honor." c. Book News Inc.
Dumb but Lucky!
Second lieutenant Dick Curtis arrived in Italy in May 1944–twenty years old and part of a shipment of P-51 Mustang fighter pilots so desperately needed that they were rushed into combat with less than thirty hours of flight time in their new high-performance aircraft. Six of the twelve pilots assigned to the 52nd Fighter Group were shot down in the first two weeks. By his ninth mission, Curtis was the only one still flying. A maverick, he barely escaped court-martial with his high-flying antics. Escorting bombers sent to pound heavily defended oil fields was risky enough, but strafing the enemy supply lines, ports, and airfields was even more dangerous. Curtis may chalk up his success to dumb luck, but these missions took exceptional skill and courage. This hair-raising account captures the air war in all its split-second terror and adrenaline-pumping action.
