Пълно описание

At the beginning of 1943, James McAfee was a twenty-year-old guy from Indiana leading a simple life. The oldest of seven children, he was working on the family farm and doing his best to make ends meet in an economy that had never recovered from The Great Depression. Then World War II intervened and he got his call to report for duty. By autumn, everything was different. He had entered the Army's Pilot Training Program, gotten married, and was expecting his first child. The war was raging across the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. His mother fretted for his safety and his new family. James faithfully wrote home to her, doing his best to put her mind at ease. He told her how his training was going, what life was like as a GI, and captured the spirit of the times in an honest, captivating way. Reading through his handwritten letters, you are ushered back in time to join him as his wife travels cross country, his son is born, and he is ultimately sent to England to lead his own crew in mission strikes against Germany. The details of his missions are extraordinary as The Greatest Generation rises to accept their destiny. The physical and emotional demands born on the shoulders of such young men are inspiring. Danger builds, forcing you to root for him even knowing that his life was tragically cut short in the closing hours of the war. Like his family, you are left to make your own decisions how to mourn his loss. 2nd Lieutenant James McAfee's story is alternately inspiring and heartbreaking. To his mother and to his country, he was always "Your Loving Son, James".
