About This Item
Annapolis, Maryland: Naval Institute Press, 1997. Book. Near Fine. Hardcover. 1st. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Like millions of other young Americans in the 1930s, Charles Furey grew up surrounded by the images and memories of World War I, not knowing that he was part of a generation bred for another war. Near Fine/As New jacket and book condition. 230pp.Pearl Harbor changed all that. In 1942 he enlisted in the Navy and, during the next three years, fought in a war that transformed him, the nation, and the world. From this time Furey has fashioned a superbly written memoir that follows him from his stateside training, his service as an aircrewman on a patrol bomber, and his long recovery from a fiery plane crash all the way to his poignant homecoming..
