Ad Astra - Paperback

by Delmer Hayes (Author)

Tucked in his small corner of Kansas, a farm boy dreams of being a pilot, a dream that seems as unreachable as the clouds in the Kansas sky.

But when Pearl Harbor is attacked, suddenly his dream is within reach. He finds himself at the controls of a B-17 bomber, gaining experience he is certain will lead to an airline career after the war.

War has a way of changing destinies, and when confronted with that harsh reality he is forced to reconcile what's most important to him--the dream he can't have, or the life he can. And sometimes, he learns, dreams have a way of coming true that we never expect.
