In his interview with Norman Auslander, Kenneth recounts his personal experiences during World War II as a fighter pilot, from hearing of the attack at Pearl Harbor, to enlistment, basic training, flight training, deployment to the European Theater, to combat, and finally coming home after victory in Europe. Understand and experience the history of World War II first-hand as recounted by one of "The Greatest Generation" who lived through it, and fought to keep the world free from fascism.
