The Pelican Squadron - Hardcover

by Kathryn West (Author)

It's the early 1940s, and America suddenly finds itself engaged in World War II. As the nation readies for war, a small beach community is asked to join the battle. When it receives word from Washington, DC that a German U-boat has been tracked offshore, regular people step up for nightly foot patrols. It's a daunting task, but they are all that stands between America and the Nazis. Little do they know they aren't "fighting" this battle by themselves. Long admired for their graceful flight, the pelicans of the Outer Banks will forever be remembered for the special part they played in protecting its shores and way of life.
