A Life in Stages
“The station where you begin your life, does not need to be your station at the end of your life. The choice is yours.” Growing up poor in wartime England, Frank Farr is an indifferent student, and once he gets into his rebellious teen years, struggles with juvenile delinquency and seems headed for trouble. But when he is presented with the opportunity of a place in a boarding school for “bright delinquents” Frank gets mentored into a passion for learning...and his life takes an entirely different direction. “From shop floor to board room” Beginning as an assistant in a Canadian supermarket, Frank’s willingness to work hard and to continuously learn, starts him on an ascent to the highest levels of the corporate retail world, a happy marriage, fatherhood, and travels around the world. “Good Luck is where preparation meets opportunity” A Life in Stages follows Frank’s rise from unpromising beginnings to eighty-two years of living a good life, learning, working hard and enjoying the love of family and the companionship of friends and colleagues.
Flak Happy
Flak over the target only stopped-or slowed-when Nazi fighter planes attacked the bombers of the 8th Air Force in World War II. Flak was anti-aircraft fire, and some 8th AF airmen hated it worse than fighters- "You can fight back against the fighters," they said, "but not the flak; we're just sitting ducks." Like many others, Lt. Frank Farr, B-17 navigator, experienced both and fell victim to both. "Flak Happy" tells the story of his sixteen and a half bombing missions over Nazi Germany. And it describes the mind-numbing consequences of flying repeatedly through that flak and how he and others dealt with them.
B-17 Navigator
During World War II, the Army Air Corps had effective formulae for turning raw recruits, only a year or two out of high school, into flying officersofficers and gentlemen. This is the story of one such recruits transformation from college freshman into B-17 navigator, second lieutenant complete with silver wings and gold bars. Loving support from a nineteen-year old bride helped bring about the transformation. His adventure started at the Presidio of Monterey in California and moved through four different stops in Texas and a final three in Iowa and Nebraska before he was ready to cross the Atlantic and attack Hitlers Festung Europa.
P.O.W.
Frank Farr learned the hard way that a rip cord is not infallible when you have to open a parachute. He survived that lesson to spend six months in German prison camps after the Massacre at Merseburg Nov. 2, 1944. He notes here that young men sequestered away from all womankind dont always talk about girls. Starve them enough, and they talk about food instead. Read how World War II flyers in German prison camps passed the time (books, games music), what they talked about (food, girls and flying) and what they dreamed about (family, loved ones and freedom).
