Overview

This book contains the stories of two World War II veterans. Keep 'Em Flying As a Crew Chief in the Army Air Corps, Walter Mauritzen maintained the P-40 Warhawk, the B-26 Marauder, the A-20 Havoc, the P-38 Lightning, and the P-47 Thunderbolt in his service with the 12th Air Force, 33rd Fighter Group, 59th Fighter Squadron. He had heart-stopping ground combat experience in Morocco and Italy, and saw Sicily, China, and India as well. While living in North Africa in a dugout shelter and sleeping on a straw mattress, often with no electricity or shower facilities, he faced both a flash flood and blowing dust. This book contains his complete diary of the North African Campaign. Cannon Fodder on Utah Beach Private Harold Granger was among the first to hit the beach on D-Day. His job was to crawl along the beach, sticking his bayonet into the sand to search for German S-mines. His goal? To find them without detonating them and blowing himself to kingdom come! His story is highlighted with dozens of photographs of his time in WWII. Follow him through France, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Germany. Granger was later awarded the French Legion of Honor.
