World War II

The war that created the Greatest Generation and defined the modern world. World War II never ceases to be one of the greatest sources for writers and readers, and the depths of that conflict have still never been fully plumbed. These pages represent a modest selection of the wealth of materials offered on "The Good War," encompassing the works of Churchill and the varied perspectives from which that war may be analyzed.

He remains anonymous to us - like the wizard behind the curtain. What we know of Sgt. Stedman begins in January 1938 with his first training flights in Tiger Moths. Precisely detailed in wonderful hand, he records months of continued training with specific detail given to Exercise and Duty Results. Quite notable is the progression of planes mastered… Read More
