Title: I flew for China
Description: A very good story about Capt Leonard's life in prewar china (WW II). He was an Amarican pilot flying cargo around China but because he was very competent and well known, he became the official pilot of China's rulers at the time. It is a story of his exploits and a brief history of what went on at the time. It also casts a very different dimesion of the Chinese and Japanese than I got from any other source I have read. From cover to cover it is intreging, interesting and educational (but don't let that last part deter you). I thoroughly enjoyed it, especially since I got the book from one of his old girl friends when she passed away.
