Description
In this posthumously published collection of letters and postal cards, William "Bill" Hanchett shares his candid experiences as a flight-school cadet, and later as an Army Air Forces pilot in command of a B-24 Liberator bomber during World War II.
Through Bill's first-hand accounts, we learn that mastering the art of flying during wartime is about more than understanding engine throttle and airspeed. It's about wondering when you'll be called to fight and if you'll be asked to betray your ideals. It's about working hard and documenting the days, dreaming about the future, and longing for home.
An extraordinary primary document, Disgracefully Easy offers us a rare glimpse inside the military in the 1940s, a time when Americans worried about the fate of their great country and looked to the brave and courageous to deliver them from fear. This unique collection will be long remembered as an important addition to the annals of aviation history.
