I grew up in the 1950s, and my father, "Mac," filled our lives with humor, a love of reading, and the gift of adventure. The first ten years of my life seemed magical. He was my Yoda-dependable, witty, and wise. Then abruptly, Yoda was sidelined when Darth Vader became my stepfather. But Mac never quit being my father . .. a mentor, teacher, and role model. Years later, I opened a time capsule that contained letters he wrote during WWII, commendations, news articles, and photos. I was stunned. Mac had been among a small group of young pilots trained to fly a new bomber-the B-24 Liberator with the 307th BG, and then the B-29 Superfortress with the 39th BG. Shot down on his first combat mission in Guadalcanal, he and his surviving crew spent three weeks navigating through enemy-infested islands. His service to his country spanned three wars. Mac: The Wind Beneath My Wings is a compelling tale about a remarkable man. It grips the reader with his strength of character and fascinating career. WWII, Korea, and Vietnam veterans, history buffs, military devotees, and students of human nature will be inspired by this account told by an adoring daughter. Mac: The Wind Beneath My Wings, a biography of an extraordinary man, by Sherry Hobbs.
