More about the book

The narrative centers on Joe D. Maguire, a C-47 pilot who served in the 27th Air Transport Group during World War II. He completed 35 combat missions, delivering essential supplies and personnel under fire, yet remained unrecognized for decades. His experiences are shared through personal stories and photographs, as recounted to his son, Jon A. Maguire. The book highlights themes of bravery, sacrifice, and the often-overlooked contributions of pilots like Joe, who eventually received prestigious honors for his service.
