Description: True stories from one of the "forgotten pilots" of the 27th Air Transport Group which carried just about everything across Europe in World War 2 - wounded troops, cans of paint, even the Glenn Miller Band. Illustrated with photos and mementoes, and told in his own words to his son, noted author and historian Jon A. Maguire.

Brief description: Jon A. Maguire has been a history buff and collector of Militaria since he was a small child in the '60s. Jon has written a number of books on clothing, insignia and equipment of the US Army Air Forces, as well as the unit history of the 27th Air Transport Group, in which his father served as a pilot during WW2.
