Doorknob Five-Two by Maj. Frederic Arnold - afc7883 - 08-26-2007


This book was first published in 1988, so I'm sure there are probably some members here who have read it before. I stumbled upon it quite by accident after buying a DVD about Frederic Arnold's tribute to his 12 fallen comrades on ebay. Since my reading interests run more to Infantry and Armored units this will be the first book I've read by a WWII Fighter (P-38) Pilot. Major Arnold, who is in his mid 80's now is a real gentleman and was kind enough to sign the book for me as well as to give me several signed 8X10's of him sitting in the cockpit of his P-38!

His book and other mementos & lithographs are available on ebay, and they are well worth the modest prices he asks, and Major Arnold handles each order himself! I know I didn't say much about the book, and that's because I haven't finished reading it yet. More later... ;)
