Green Light!: A Troop Carrier Squadron's War from Normandy to the Rhine

Rating:
Summary: A book for the avid and serious Non-Fiction WWII reader
Review: A highly detailed account of the little reported contribution of the men and airplanes which dropped or flew men into battle in WWII --Sometimes using nothing more than disposable wooden gliders -- a little reported feat of courage and daring -- sprinkled with doses of personal accounts of the real men and their real stories - It makes for a very good read.

Summary: Reality Check Clears the Bank
Review: This book is real! Liberally sprinkled with first hand accounts of the men who were there it brings history to life. This book was given to me shortly after my father passed away by someone who knew he'd flown these missions in WWII. As I read, stories minimized by my father came to me in clearer, more heroic detail. (Not a member in the squadron whose story is told here, he was in a squadron in the same group.) A fun read that puts you there with the day to day doldrums and the excitement of missions as they were flown.
