Letters From My Father: The Battle of the Brenner: World War ll (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781649134554)

Here is a story of a daughter discovering long lost letters from her father, written home while flying twenty-two missions as a bombardier during World War II. In one of the decisive battles of the war, she was able to relive through him his thoughts and hardships during this tumultuous period of his life. For her family, these letters are especially endearing as he passed away in 1985 without much recounting of his time in the war. There is so much to be learned from him through the letters within, not only as a father, but as an airman fighting for his country. This engrossing, firsthand chronicle details his time in northern Italy and southern Germany in 1945.
