My true course : Dutch Van Kirk, Northumberland to Hiroshima
"In September 1941 from the idyllic small town of Northumberland, Pennsylvania, a Depression kid and one of the river rats of the Susquehanna, Theodore "Dutch" Van Kirk reported to Sikeston, Missouri, as an aviation cadet with hopes of becoming a pilot. Van Kirk's voice and letters tell the story of his True Course, navigating fifty-eighty missions during the early B-17 heavy bombing raids into Europe and North Africa, and charting Special Mission No. 13, the first atomic bomb strike in history. Dutch is the last living crewman of the B-29 Enola Gay."--Jacket
