註釋Lt. Edwin "Snake" Walkup's diary, edited by his daughter, Helen Walkup Cairns, provides insight into the life of a B-17 bomber crew during 1944 and thus is a valuable primary source.Vivian Rogers-Price, Ph.D.Research Center DirectorNational Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air ForceFlying mostly B-17 bombers from England during WWII, the U.S. Army Air Force lost more than 33,000 aircraft, including bombers and fighters, with more casualties than the U.S. foot soldiers beneath their wings! Edwin "Snake" Walkup was a B-17 pilot with the 8th Air Force. His detailed diary has become a book. "Daddy's Diary," by his daughter Helen, is a story of those times. The events and emotions between missions provide a unique perspective on a pilot's service during the war, while helping us better understand those who served heroically in the air war over Germany during WWII.Bill FrederickMayor of Orlando, FL 1980-1992 and contributor to the WWII Museum in New Orleans of his Army Jeep Collection
