À propos de cet audio
Young James Daniels is eager to join the US military after Japan bombs Pearl Harbor in December 1941. He wants to do his part, save the world - and look sharp in that Army Air Corps uniform! Slight of build, he has to eat 10 pounds of bananas on weigh-in day to qualify for service. James ends up in Lecce, Italy, with the 15th Air Force, and survives 45 harrowing missions as a nose gunner in the B-24 Liberator. Miraculously, he comes through physically unscathed, but he has been rudely forced to come of age. His experiences, especially one great tragedy, profoundly change him emotionally, mentally, and spiritually, leaving him with a crucial question that haunts him for decades. When he is once again engaged in a battle for his life, the answer becomes clear.
Coulter's heart-rending account of her father's trials, tribulations, and triumphs is based on stories he tells her, and on his wartime diary entries and letters home. Long Story is a testament to the human spirit and will leave you full of admiration for one man’s bravery, humor, resilience, and grace.
