Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 Staff Sergeant Arthur Meyerowitz was used to getting attention from women. He had the swagger and confidence of a man who knew he was handsome, and he exuded that confidence wherever he went. #2 As the rows of B-24s lined the airstrip, Arthur had no time to think of Esther or his family back in New York. He had to make sure that the plane was fit to fly. #3 Arthur was born in 1918 in the Bronx, a tough neighborhood that was largely composed of Jewish, Irish, and Italian families. He grew up respecting women and having a strong sense of right and wrong. #4 Arthur, who had never left New York and New Jersey, was excited to enlist in the Army Air Corps in 1941. He was inducted at Fort Dix and was soon on his way to basic infantry training at Fort Bragg, North Carolina.
