George and Dorothy's tale is a winning one. While the love story at the heart of the memoir provides the emotional core, the historical elements are equally compelling

This is a sweet and remarkable story of true and abiding love, but also a fascinating history of what life was like for an American airman during WWII. Luckily for us, George and Dorothy Hannon saved every document and scrap of paper that pertained to their experiences during the war, and the facsimiles are included in the book, so it really comes alive. Life in a prison camp for two years is detailed in George’s meticulous records of the men and their activities as well as his letters home to Dorothy.
I knew Dorothy when she was a widow later in life. She was smart, solid, cheerful and generous. I’m guessing her positivity played a significant part in keeping George alive and comparatively well through the war.

Interesting book but man it’s repetitive sometimes
Whole sentences repeated in the span of two paragraphs. Also a bummer the letters were not translated in whole as the pictures printed made many of them unreadable.

Fantastic! I absolutely loved this book. I have read many books about WWII, but the reason I love this one so much is it is true, honest, heartfelt story of a normal, everyday couple. Their love made it through their separation and what I am sure were some very fearful days!
