The accounts cover various aircraft types and four wars. Filled with personal experiences Faces presents true accounts of men who endured the worst and the best of human nature. Contained in this book are the stories of individuals, who were tasked with missions to serve greater objectives. Their resourcefulness, deft ability as pilots and aviators, their concern for fellow soldiers, all carried them through countless moments of bravery and terror.
