Description

This book tells the story of the post-World War I military, political and ideological debate that threatened the early development of America's strategic bombardment capability. General Curtis E LeMay is the centrepiece of this gripping and dramatic story of the struggle to advance U.S. air superiority. By 1939 the Second War had already begun in Europe. France and Western Europe nations were falling to the Germans led by the awesome but little publicised German air force and in particular their bombers. The British Intelligence service was having great difficulties in deploying and supporting their Special Agents operating behind the lines in Europe. They called upon President Roosevelt for aircraft and crew to take on the very dangerous support missions. The President responded by sending Bart Coltrane and his B-25 crew to England where they flew exciting and dangerous missions behind the lines for the RAF and British Intelligence. These were named Black Bart missions after the notorious British Pirate John Bartholomew Roberts of Pembrokeshire, Wales. The character Black Bart represents the early American volunteers who helped the British prior to the U.S. entering the war.

Author Biography:

John R "Rick" Taylor is a decorated Vietnam War veteran who served in the U.S. Army for ten years. His overseas assignments included Germany, Korea, Panama and Southeast Asia while working with Aviation, Military Intelligence and Air Defense units. In the early and mid-80s, Taylor was an activist for the full accountability of American and Allied POWs and MIAs still missing in Southeast Asia. An oil and gas executive today, Taylor has returned to post-war Vietnam to engage in petroleum evaluation in the Mekong Delta. He has met with many former Vietnamese combat leaders, including the venerable North Vietnamese military architect of the Vietnam War, General Nguyen Vo Giap. Taylor started flying at age 13, later to become an Army Aviator and Captain (P) whose service to his country has been distinguished by air combat missions in Southeast Asia. Taylor currently lives in Texas and still enjoys a love of flying.
