Reading Lane Wallace's articles, are we?

Nope, a very cool book by Mike Wright called "What They Didn't Teach You about WW2"

Fun / interesting little stories throughout.

Ah, Lane Wallace did a several page column in Flying magazine about the Swoose and all the stories of the families so on and so on. Good stories.
