Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>The arrival of the WWII B-17 bomber at the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force in January of 2009 initiated a great adventure for a group of warbird lovers from the nearby communities as they united to restore that B-17. The dream of the volunteers was to honor the WWII veterans of the Eighth Air Force--some of whom were literally their fathers--by restoring the B-17 to its original pristine condition. The group was challenged by the fact that the airplane had been in storage for more than two decades following a long working life, and was far from the gleaming symbol of power that it had been in 1945.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Jerry McLaughlin</b> brought together his broad experiences as a history teacher, project manager, and author to write<i> B-17 Flying Fortress Restoration</i>. A native of the Borough of Queens in New York City, Jerry was raised in Lynbrook, New York and graduated from Long Island University with a degree in United States History and Education in 1973. He served in the United States Army from 1969-1971. After a thirty-year career with the Federal government, he retired from the Central Intelligence Agency in 2003 as a member of the Agency's Senior Intelligence Service. Jerry's first book, <i>D-Day +60 Years</i>, was published in 2004. He and his wife, Denise, reside on Skidaway Island outside of Savannah, Georgia, with a recently rescued Wheaten Terrier who now goes by the name of Annie.
