Too Young to Die by John Boileau,Dan Black Pdf

John Boileau and Dan Black tell the stories of some of the 30,000 underage youths -- some as young as fourteen -- who joined the Canadian Armed Forces in the Second World War. This is the companion volume to the authors'’ popular 2013 book Old Enough to Fight about boy soldiers in the First World War. Like their predecessors a generation before, these boys managed to enlist despite their youth. Most went on to face action overseas in what would become the deadliest military conflict in human history. They enlisted for a myriad of personal reasons -- ranging from the appeal of earning regular pay after the unemployment and poverty of the Depression to the desire to avenge the death of a brother or father killed overseas. Canada's boy soldiers, sailors and airmen saw themselves contributing to the war effort in a visible, meaningful way, even when that meant taking on very adult risks and dangers of combat. Meticulously researched and extensively illustrated with photographs, personal documents and specially commissioned maps, Too Young to Die provides a touching and fascinating perspective on the Canadian experience in the Second World War. Among the individuals whose stories are told: Ken Ewing, at age sixteen taken prisoner at Hong Kong and then a teenager in a Japanese prisoner of war campRalph Frayne, so determined to fight that he enlisted in the army, navy and Merchant Navy all before the age of seventeenRobert Boulanger, at age eighteen the youngest Canadian to die on the Dieppe beaches

Soldier, Sailor and Airman Too by A. B. Woodhall,Martin Woodhall Pdf

SOLDIER, SAILOR AND AIRMAN TOO is a comprehensive history of the life and career of Group Captain A.B. Woodhall. His story provides a unique slice of British Army, Royal Navy and Royal Airforce history, spanning both World Wars and finishing in New Zealand. Not only can his story be read as a biography of an extremely accomplished and heroic figure, this book also provides an extensive historical insight into the myriad events he was involved in over this period of time. From beginnings that would be enough to deter most - being severely wounded to the point of paralysis as a sniper at Beaumont Hamel 1916 and subsequently evacuated back to England; Soldier, Sailor and Airman Too covers Woody's military career through both wars, touches on his flying with Douglas Bader and volunteering to make an emergency drop of an artificial leg to Bader when he was downed and taken prisoner in Germany. Working as a controller in the Great Battle of Britain, Woody was awarded the OBE and given investiture by the King and Queen at Buckingham Palace as well as being promoted to Group Captain. Woody encountered some strife in the bombings of Duxford and Tangmere, where he was Group Captain, but went on to establish a radio listening service in Malta resulting in foxing the German Controller! Woodhall writes extremely well and gives exceptional attention to detail. The book is filled with anecdotes, humour and is an extremely significant and detailed primary resource, making it ideal for historians, military buffs and people with an interest in flying.

Soldier, Sailor, Frogman, Spy, Airman, Gangster, Kill or Die by Giles Milton Pdf

A ground-breaking account of the first 24 hours of the D-Day invasion told by a symphony of incredible accounts of unknown and unheralded members of the Allied – and Axis – forces. An epic battle that involved 156,000 men, 7,000 ships and 20,000 armoured vehicles, D-Day was, above all, a tale of individual heroics – of men who were driven to keep fighting until the German defences were smashed and the precarious beachheads secured. This authentic human story – Allied, German, French – has never fully been told. Giles Milton’s bold new history narrates the events of June 6th, 1944 through the tales of survivors from all sides: the teenage Allied conscript, the crack German defender, the French resistance fighter. From the military architects at Supreme Headquarters to the young schoolboy in the Wehrmacht’s bunkers, Soldier, Sailor, Frogman, Spy, Airman, Gangster, Kill or Die lays bare the absolute terror of those trapped in the front line of Operation Overlord. It also gives voice to those who have hitherto remained unheard – the French butcher’s daughter, the Panzer Commander’s wife, the chauffeur to the General Staff. This vast canvas of human bravado reveals “the longest day” as never before – less as a masterpiece of strategic planning than a day on which thousands of scared young men found themselves staring death in the face. It is drawn in its entirety from the raw, unvarnished experiences of those who were there.

The Greatest Generation: One Airman's Life by Richard Henneberry Pdf

S/Sgt Michael R Henneberry's B-17 was shot down on his first mission during the second raid on Schweinfurt in October 1943 - the "Black Thursday" that still lives in Air Force lore. A guest of the Third Reich in the infamous Stalag 17B until war's end, he returned home with shattered health. He was never reported by the Germans as a POW and, described as missing in action by the US government, was presumed dead by family and friends. On arriving home in 1945 he received what he thought was a cold reception and departed for parts unknown, reenlisting in the AAF in 1946. He had no contact with any family member for 25 years until he was "rediscovered" by a nephew with the identical name in a remarkable coincidence in Pearl Harbor in 1983, and so the old soldier was reintroduced to family and friends. He now rests in Arlington National Cemetery with the US Air Force Memorial standing guard over his grave. This is the story of his life, told as a true story documented with official Air Force records and interspersed with elements of historical fiction.
