"The Old West collides with World War II."

In Roy McShane&apos;s second installment of his trilogy, HWELTE, bomber pilot First Lieutenant Chuck Hewitt returns home wounded from Stalingrad, in 1943, to his parent&apos;s ranch at Flagstaff, Arizona. He&apos;s a broken man looking for answers-ultimately finding those answers in the extraordinary history of his white grandfather&apos;s and Navajo grandmother&apos;s struggle to forge a life together against all odds in the 1880s. 
Inspired by his grandparent&apos;s hardships, Chuck decides to get back in the war and transfers into fighters. He eventually winds up in England, in 1944, with the 354th Fighter Group-the first group to fly and fight over Europe in the new, revolutionary P-51 Mustang. Whereupon, after his initial mission escorting B-17s over Germany, Chuck makes a startling discovery about the common denominator fighter pilots and bomber pilots share: They are all condemned men living on death row.
