Courtesies of the Heart by Kenneth Breaux. This incredible story chronicles the remarkable set of circumstances that combined with tenacious investigation and generosity of time and spirit to locate -- over 50 years later -- the crash site of a WWII fighter pilot whose fate had never been known. The way this puzzle was solved by individuals and groups from various countries is a true inspiration and a moving testimony to the power of internet technology combined with kind, generous people who were not willing to give up trying to solve this mystery. Some readers will love this book just for the true story. History and WWII buffs will appreciate the military and aviation details that the author used to enrich the telling of the story and make it much more vivid. My 87 year old father -- who flew P-38s and P-51s in Europe -- was part of the same overall mission in which the missing pilot in this story participated. He was so enthralled with this book that he bought eight copies and has just ordered more to send to all of his WWII and pilot friends.

Courtesies of the Heart is available as a signed copy from the author for $18.00 including postage. US addresses only.
