O knihe

There are no events more unbelievable than these that have
happened in my lifetime. That's why I'm writing it all down.

Author Emery W. Tuttle has had an exciting life full of adventure,
love, war, spirituality, sadness, and victory. His engaging memoir,
And the Angels Sing: Stories of a World War II Pilot, provides a vivid,
detailed glimpse into Tuttle's life.

Growing up in Johnson Creek, Wisconsin, Tuttle has his share of
adventures, from being relentlessly pursued by a pretty girl to
causing a beer truck to tip over. While serving in the Oconomowoc
Wisconsin National Guard Company, Tuttle faces increasing
frustration with the military, stemming from an incident when his
father was in the service. Later he faces the daunting experience of
hitchhiking through Middle America at a time when the Army doesn't
provide food or travel allowance for soldiers on leave-and during
this time has the privilege of being a member of one big, United
States family. While in the Central Pacific Theater, he is involved in
the capture of a Japanese flag-with an airplane.

If you want to slow down, don't ever retire. At eighty-six, he still flies
his little 200 mph plane, and is busier than he's ever been. With
many tales to tell, he spins the fascinating story of his life into a
poignant memoir.
