Title: I came through swell
Description: Chauncey "Speed" Nelson always knew he wanted to be a pilot.  Growing up on a farm, he spent his days dreaming of his plans to join the Royal Canadian Air Force, or to just buy a plane of his own if that didn't work out.  But when the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, Speed found his purpose in life - a bomber pilot for the U.S. Air Corps, flying for his country.  Through his own journals, interviews with his contemporaries, and his daughter's journals, join Speed for the fear - and adventure - of a lifetime, from his first training days to twenty-eight of his forty terrifying and thrilling missions flown out of Italy.  -- Book cover.
