A powerful chronicle of loyalty, love, and heroism under fire, this is the unforgettable memoir of a member of the Greatest Generation who fought in America's greatest battles—and of the war one man waged both in and out of the skies. High-spirited, young Robert Morgan was transformed from a fast-living, privileged playboy who grew up hobnobbing with the Vanderbilts into a steel nerved pilot forged in the cauldron of World War II's most dangerous and desperate aerial encounters. This is the triumphant tale of that transformation—and of the plane and crew that never failed to bring him back home.

In the deep, dark, hidden world beneath the surfaces of our oceans, submarines glide silently past underwater canyons and huge unexplored mountain ranges. Today's submarines are fast, sleek, and completely modern. Not so with early submarines. The Turtle, a submarine built more than two hundred years ago, was clumsy and slow. Its first and only mission—to attack an enemy warship by drilling a hole in its hull—was far from successful.
