Sommario/riassunto

Nedda R. Thomas flies her father's war through his remembrance in her superlative biography, "HumpPilot: Defying Death Flying the Himalayas in World War II." In a lucid, informative, well-paced style she conveys the surreal beauty and deadly dangers of theHumpTheater, a story of



courage and historical significance that takes our hearts into the sky. A seminary-trained spiritual director, Nedda grew up in the U.S., Paris, France, and the Far East. She has the rare distinction of being one of the very few women ever to write about men on combat-rated air missions in that world conflict. Her articles explore the work of a variety of creative and well-known figures. A poet and former editor, she speaks on military and women's history, and always, her passion for human rights, particularly for exploited children.
