Barchester TowersDent, 1906 - 462 pages "More than 70 million soldiers were engaged in the military operations of World War II, but few had a front-row seat like Joe Thompson. Tiger Joe tells the story of this unknown hero and Nashville native, who flew 90 missions, most of them behind German lines, in a P-51 Mustang." "But Tiger Joe is more than a book about combat aviation. A gifted amateur photographer, Thompson took hundreds of pictures during his four years of military service. Tiger Joe is a photographic diary of Thompson's remarkable journey through World War II, taking us both behind-the-scenes and on the front lines, and allowing us to gaze into the human face of war."--BOOK JACKET. |
