O knihe

William Doyle Harris' military career from 1940 to 1970 paralleled the birth of today's US Air Force, as well as three wars: World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. Aerlyn Augusta Hatter was his partner in life and, in many ways, a partner throughout his career. Wings over America, by Peggy Harris Dionne, honors her parents' contribution to the "wings over America" of their generation, as well as records their life story. This story shares how William and Aerlyn grew up in small rural Texas towns in modest, almost destitute, circumstances. It tells how William finished high school at age twenty-one, attended college, joined the Army Air Corp, and went on to make the Air Force his career and calling. Aerlyn was his partner in this-a willing and adventurous traveler, anchor, and homemaker in many lands, and a gracious, accomplished lady in her own right. Inspiring and encouraging, Wings over America offers a look at one family's life and service in the military and gives unique insight into American history.
