Letters from World War II

Letters from World War II is the story of my parents lives during the war years that unfolds through the letters they wrote each other while apart. World War II was a time most of us cannot imagine today. Lives were interrupted, dreams and hopes put on hold while the war raged. My parents’ lives were affected by my father’s enlistment in the Army Air Corps. As a navigator on a B-17 bomber, he left for England to fly bombing raids over Germany and my mother did not see him for two years. Shot down, parachuting out of a burning plane and captured by the Germans, he spent 16 months in a German Prisoner of War camp. At War’s end stranded in East Germany and under Russian control, the POWs almost did not get home until a dramatic air rescue was organized to get them out. This is a must read story of one couples lives during the war.
