Called to Honor - by Lt. Col. Wallace H. Little, USAF-Ret. ~ Paperback

Dockside Publications, Inc. ~ ISBN 0-9742998-6-3

Based on his own experiences as a very young fighter pilot in China in WWII, this book is a glimpse into what it took to become a fighter pilot in that era. From a very immature high school graduate to his first combat patrols in the famous P-51, Wally spares few details of these experiences. Fighting under the famous Claire Chennault, the legendary leader of the Flying Tigers of the American Volunteer Group (the AVG), this book takes place in the time just after the disbanding of that group. Flying in the same outfit as some of those now-famous fighter pilots and aces of WWII, Wally shows what it was like to face death from the elements, the enemy and sometimes even his own recklessness. If you like reading about WWII, and especially about fighters, this book will help fill in some of the gaps for you.

This book is over 400 pages of World War II adventure and insight.  See the Background Page for more detailed information on the period covered in this book.
