Description

(Color or B&W - click "2 formats" then Paperback arrow for B&W) This beautiful new second edition includes almost one hundred pages of fresh stories, artwork, photos, and adventures. Since the release of the original, I've interviewed seven Black Cats and PBY crew members, discovered a host of new writing, over a hundred letters and documents, and had the pleasure of meeting and corresponding with an array of squadron family members. Sketches of a Black Cat will interest first time and repeat readers alike. * * * * "Sketches of a Black Cat" is a unique and fascinating memoir of a World War II combat aviator with original and previously unpublished sketches and photographs. This artfully crafted book is a must read for anyone in search of a new and completely different view into the world of war in the Pacific and on the home front during America's greatest conflict." Larkin Spivey, military historian and author. * * * * "From boxes of notes and drawings comes a book illuminating a WWII pilot's experiences as part of the Black Cat Squadron...accounts of support missions, rescues of airmen and interactions with indigenous island peoples told in vivid but unembellished detail...a handsome volume that reads breezily and is punctuated with photos and drawings from Howard's war years. Mike Francis the Oregonian * * * * "Wonderful and beautifully real stories such as this are dying every day as we lose our WWII veterans. Kudos to Ron Miner for preserving and sharing with the rest of us the gold of his father's journals, photos, and drawings to bring us such a compelling look at life during the war. This is not only a valuable and insightful historical document but a dramatic and warm personal story." Don Keith, WWII author * * * * ..". Howard Miner's memoirs are a wonderful view into the world of a patrol squadron at war, showing not only the excitement and terror of war, but also what ordinary men in extraordinary situations did to find inventive ways to combat boredom and stress. Miner sees the war through the eyes of an artist, revealing details of day-to-day life that are often overlooked in war time narratives. A wholly enjoyable story!" Stewart Bailey, Curator, Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum * * * * * " "As a former flight engineer aboard a PBY in WWII... I can truly say I felt as though I was on Howard's Catalina...so many similarities to my own experiences. I can almost hear the drone of the engines in synchronization. Many episodes were warm and compelling. I highly recommend this book to vets, historians, and students. You won't put down Sketches of a Black Cat till you've read it cover-to-cover!" Win Stites, VP-91, VP2-1 served in both Atlantic and Pacific regions during WWII, Former President PBY Memorial Foundation and Museum* * * *
