Description
Foreword
"Contrails -- My War Record" is a written record of what a number of young Americans did to help win World War II.
What does not appear so obviously on the printed page is, perhaps, even more important: the quick, strong indignation of these men, at a powerful menace that threatened their ideals and their American way of living; their day-by-day strength that matched powerful foes and unending hardship; their unflagging courage that mocked incredible danger; their unquenchable faith that met aggressively the ultimate in sacrifice. These things were given freely, as only free men could give. These things definitely assure that free men shall continue to inherit the earth.
Officers and men of the 100th Bombardment Group and of the Service Organizations, I salute you!
H.H. Arnold, General of the Army
