My Generation, 1923 - 2013: Memoirs of a Marine pilot in World War II and Korea

Lawrence Alley, by most standards a typical Midwestern country boy, decided to enlist in the military shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor. The author and his fellow Marine pilots finished their intensive training at the end of World War II, and were soon released from active service. However, the Korean War called him back to duty before long, where he had plenty of opportunity to hone and demonstrate his skills. This story of military and flight training and of his life in the service and at home reveals a passion for flying and the soul of a philosopher and poet. His matter-of-fact loyalty, humility and common sense make this memoir an engaging and informative read.
