The critical importance of courage and keeping one's cool

Pilot From The Prairie is the personal memoir of Edgar Allen, a World War II bomber pilot. Edgar memorably relates the danger and horror of war, and the critical importance of courage and keeping one's cool to survive in the midst of dangerously lethal situations. A raw and vivid account that pulls no punches and makes the reader feel what it was really like to survive the thick of devastating war, Pilot From The Prairie is a welcome and highly recommended contribution to the growing library of World War II autobiographical accounts -- which is all the more appreciated as that generation of men and women leaves us through the inevitable passage of the years.
