Our flight club had a private showing last night, but of course I was stuck at work.

Same author wrote A Higher Call and Spearhead if you're looking for some good WWII reads.

Yeah, we can't talk about race enough.


Well, yeah, I guess you didn't read that closely. The usual narrative is the South is racist and everyone else is enlightened. The book addressed how racist the Northeast and West coast were. Something you rarely ever hear, even though they were just as racist as the South. But OK, lets just leave the narrative being the South if that makes you happy.


Don't just be a survivor, be a competitor.
