About Terror Of The Autumn Skies: The True Story Of Frank
Product Description Frank Luke, Jr. was an unlikely pilot. In the Great War, when fliers were still knights of the air,” Luke was an ungallant lonera kid from Arizona who collected tarantulas, shot buzzards, and boxed miners. But during two torrid weeks in September 1918, he was the deadliest man on the Western Front. In only ten missions, he destroyed fourteen heavily-defended German balloons and four airplanes, the second highest American tally in the entire war. Author Blaine Pardoe retraces and refreshes Frank Luke’s story through recently discovered correspondence. Frantic, short, and splendid, the life of Frank Luke, Jr. dramatizes the tragic intervention of an American spirit in the war that devastated Europe. About the Author Blaine Pardoe is a novelist and military historian. His books on the Great War include The Cruise of the Sea Eagle and Terror of the Autumn Skies.
