About this product
Product Information
After an idyllic childhood in Manila, young George Cooper left the Philippines for the United States, determined to study at Kansas University. Like so many young men in the 1940s, his plans were interrupted by the war. "Coop" discovered a talent for flying and was trained as a B-25 pilot. Assigned to the 345th Bomb Group, he flew 74 dangerous missions over the Pacific. George's incredible story, vividly recalled over 75 years later, is brought to life by author and fellow combat aviator Jay Stout. Book jacket.

[Jay Stout] excels not only in terms of structuring compelling and engaging narratives, but he also succeeds in making real history accessible to all., Students of the Pacific War know 'the saga of Pappy Gunn,' the innovative 5th Air Force officer who developed B-25 gunships for low-level attacks against enemy ships. But in Jayhawk, former Marine Corps aviator Jay Stout teams with retired Air Force Colonel George Cooper who, like Gunn, fought a personal aerial war to retrieve his family from Japanese captivity in the Philippines. The personal, you-are-there style is what readers have come to expect of Stout, and they will not be disappointed in Cooper's stirring tale., Cooper's comments on the differences between the airplanes he flew in combat were particularly interesting., In Jayhawk, author Jay Stout continues to soar as he presents the moving biography of a World War II centenarian, B-25 pilot George Cooper. Among the last living eyewitnesses to the air war in the Pacific, Cooper flew more than 70 combat missions as his family endured the torment of Japanese forces who had taken his family as prisoners of war in the Philippines. This is a story of love, honor, service, sacrifice, and endurance, captured in page-turning prose that honors a decorated aviator who was truly a giant among the many from America's greatest generation., Jay Stout combines his crisp, technically accurate style with Cooper's incredible memory to produce this highly readable biography of one of the last of the living World War II heroes ... The story is unique and well worth reading by anyone interested in the prewar Philippines or the tactical air war in the Pacific Theater., Author Jay Stout, himself an air combat veteran of Operation Desert Storm, hits his stride describing the grueling attacks on Rabaul and Wewak. Through it all, Cooper never lost his humanity. Prayers for his parents and sister, who suffered under the brutal Japanese occupation of the Philippines, were answered when they were liberated thanks in no small measure to his own heroism in the Pacific theater. Highly recommended!, A Unique and Invaluable Contribution to the Growing Library of World War II Military Biographies..., Jayhawk is more than a gripping story of an American war hero, it is a sweeping, outstanding drama of one family's struggle, hope and survival in World War II worthy of the big screen. A must read.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
