Reviews
A Military History Book Club selection "Diebold clearly possessed a gift for storytelling, and he's got some good stories to tell. Through it all, Diebold is a man of optimism and good cheer, always eager to find the humor in situations that would defeat the less resilient. ... The story he tells gives testament to the fact that quite ordinary people are capable of doing the most extraordinary things." -Portland Maine Press Herald "An exciting tale." -Daily Bulldog (Maine) "Bill had more guts than any man I've ever met. . . . Aside from my parachute, I felt he was the best life insurance I had when I flew."-Don Downie, author of Flying the Hump
