Far Away Places: The Early Years

By Kenneth D. Child

Everyone has a story to tell and often the stories are hidden right in front of us. This book is produced from Ken's handwritten journals that were written over 25 years and filled with memories from his military service.As a young boy during World War II, Ken saw numerous types of war planes flying daily local training flights. One day a B-24 flew low overhead and Ken exclaimed, "Someday I'll be a gunner!" Bravery was born through bomb runs, jet fuel fumes, and friends too soon departing. Ken Child fulfilled his dream to be a gunner under the leadership of Lt. Norman Hemingway and in the process learned the true cost of war.Ken's journals will bring you to the front lines of the Korean War. It gives us a bird's eye view of the action and relates stories of men and women living in wartime. Serving in both the Air Force and the Navy, he offers a unique view from inside the plane both through his words and his photographs.
