[Eric in the Ozarks]

I also read "Flyboys," by James Bradley earlier this year and enjoyed it. Its another Pacific diary that spins along.
I wish I'd interviewed my dad on his service (and a crash landing) in the China-Burma-India Campaign. He died in 1966.

Flags of our Fathers was pretty good, too.

Written by a son of the Iwo Jima flag raising, I think. Read it a couple years ago.
