Captain Rickenbacker; originally from Ohio; was best known as one of the Commanders of the 94th "Hat-in-the-Ring" Squadron; a crack unit of pilots which included many former members of the famed Lafayette Escadrille. The 94th ended the war in France with the highest number of air victories of any American squadron. Captain Rickenbacker later belonged to an association of pilots and Great War air veterans who; in the years immediately following the Second World War; invited many of the new "young" aces from the Pacific and European theaters for informal lectures. These men never lost their keen interest in aviation.

This family made an impact on my life. I remember an interview from the 25th anniversary of the liberation. Truly; the author's parents were part of the greatest; bravest generation. The perseverance of not only his parents; but all survivors is beyond amazing. Again; an amazing book; and one of the best I've read; and HIGHLY recommend it.
