Particularly his times with his quite wonderful and colorful Italian grandfather who came as an immigrant to America at the turn of the century. The authors life as a first born American experiencing ethnic forces is described with interesting anecdotes. One reader said " you made your grandfather come alive" An other said this part of the book was "Soroyanesque". Then the reader is taken on one of the greatest and most accurate heavy bomber missions in WWII where the author participated as a Second Lt. U. S.Army Air Force bombardier. Photographs of the bomb strike and thr bomber crew are in the book. The life and times of the author with the crew co-pilot flying conbat missions out of Italy are told ( the co-pilot was killed).
