Description
Letters from a WWII Airman: How his faith sustained him, is the true story of one of those men from what we acknowledge as "the "Greatest Generation". Like so many who experienced war, Ken Hathaway (1918-2001) was reluctant to talk about those experiences, but the letters and scrapbooks he left behind contained information that, when pieced together, provided a compelling story of:The experiences of training for and participating in aerial combat in World War II.An account of being interned in a neutral country.The importance of connections with family and friends.The significance of his Christian faith.The wartime romance that developed because of the military service.
Endorsement:Step into the world of a World War II radio operator as Dr. Dale Hathaway shares the biography of his father, TSgt Kenneth Hathaway. A moving collection of letters brings to life Ken's transformation from a young, inexperienced recruit to a decorated Airman in the Army Air Corps. This narrative takes us through the grueling days of training to the harrowing mission when their bomber received heavy damage from enemy fire. Interspersed throughout is a touching story of romance between Ken and the young lady he desires to marry, adding a layer of intimacy and humanity to the narrative. Perhaps most inspiring is the unwavering faith of this remarkable man, who remains steadfast in his obedience to God. This book is a must-read for anyone looking to gain a deeper understanding of the sacrifices made by the "Greatest Generation".-Lt Col Brian A.
