Daring pilots fought and died under extreme conditions, racing to end the war that was wreaking such devastation. Keeping them flying were flight surgeons: doctors who treated the bodies and minds of the crews. Stress, injury, infectious disease, and trying living conditions took a high toll, and flight surgeons battled to keep the men hale. Dr. Lamb Myhr was one such flight surgeon. As he served in North Africa and Europe, Dr. Myhr treated horrific injuries, unfamiliar illnesses, and venereal disease, as well as supervising the health and safety of the entire base. He worked long hours in dangerous conditions, making split-second decisions that could save lives. This gripping account draws on Dr. Myhr's records, correspondence, and memories, exploring firsthand the perils and pressures of one of these unsung heroes.
Author S. Carlisle May has traveled across the United States and Europe in researching the experiences of Dr. Lamb Myhr, her great-uncle. Her work has been published in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, USAA Magazine, and Transplant Chronicles, and she is a founding member of the Congenital Heart Public Health Consortium.
Foreword author Martin K. A. Morgan is a noted military historian and regular contributor to the Discovery Channel, the National Geographic Channel, and numerous publications. He previously served as historian-in-residence at the National WWII Museum.
