Book Description
A bombardier’s story of serving in the skies over Europe—and surviving in a POW camp—as told through his correspondence with his Ohio family. On his twenty-sixth horrifying mission over the hostile skies of Nazi Europe, a charismatic bombardier, seated at the nose of a B-17, strapped on his parachute as his disintegrating bomber dropped uncontrollably to the ground. What got him to this point, the ensuing months behind barbed wire, and his daily letters written to his family in Akron, Ohio, makes for an emotionally intense memoir. This is the true account of a single individual who represents the countless unsung warriors of the greatest generation during World War II. Previously published as A Story of One

Book Description
Coming of age in a season of war: a son's correspondence home It was a time when many young men were leaving home for the very first time, and the journeys they embarked on were experienced by relatives and friends through letters sent home. With This You Have the Works is a chronicle of Gordon Lee Stuart's days as a raw recruit, being sent to various training centers in the United States, and as a mature U.S. Army airman abroad. For three and a half years, Stuart penned over one-hundred and fifty letters to his mother in what stands today as a time capsule of thoughts, experiences and feelings about daily life, relationships, and finding the girl of his dreams. Stuart's letters mark the passage of history and provide a personal perspective on an tumultuous era where the only thing a person could count on was change.
