Richard Eager: A Pilot's Story
Richard Eager: A Pilot's Story

Barbara Evans Kinnear shares stories of how her father, a young Captain Richard Evans, became the B-17 “Flying Fortress” pilot for Field Marshal Bernard L. Montgomery, Commander of the British 8th Army, during his missions through North Africa and Italy. Filled with humor and humility, Evans’ recollections of cadet training, combat missions and experiences with the “top brass” bring the realities of being a World War II pilot into a deeply human focus.
