Football Flyboy: First Lt. Bill Cannon, Piloting More than His Own Aircraft

Not your typical war story. Football Flyboy examines the shaping of a good man, his family, and society under the wing of the messy cleanup as WWII winds down. If you like honest, relatable, no-nonsense people that teach you the threads of building upon relationships while making you laugh and cry, this is a story you'll enjoy!

Buster, the Football Flyboy, was part of the Greatest Generation - a generation that was woven with courage and commitment; an era that wasn't filled with instant gratification or instant anything for that matter. Human relationships were held tightly with a determination not to give up.

Old letters seeded Football Flyboy, letters that are a one-sided conversation of a man who lived for someone more important than himself. The struggles of war and his constant change of location kept him from receiving mail regularly, causing frustration and loneliness.

Each letter has been unedited with grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors ... preserved to demonstrate their authenticity.

You will meet members of the author's family - in particular, her Aunt Ruby. Each chapter opens with "one of the letters" and closes with Aunt Ruby's poems - highlighting the point of the chapter or just providing the reader with a smile or a tear.

Meet Bill "Buster" Cannon, the Football Flyboy, a good man with a good life who made a difference.
