''As a young naval aviator, Dusty Rhodes was shot down by the Japanese on his first combat mission in World War II. Toughing it out for the rest of the war in POW camps, Rhodes wondered if he would ever fly again. As only the third fighter pilot to become leader of the Blue Angels, Rhodes participated in developing the most famous aerobatics team ever formed. The author has drawn on extensive interviews with Dusty and his closest colleagues, as well as Dusty's scrapbooks, flight logs, and prison journal to produce this account of the Blue Angels in the 1940s. The author takes you inside Dusty's cockpit during the team's early years. This was the era when the Blues first found fame, perfecting their trademark diamond formation and barrel roll as well as transitioning from prop planes to jet aircraft.''

Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Near Fine. First Edition. 297 pages with Glossary and Sources. Black and white photos. Foreword by Roy M. "Butch" Voris. From the publisher: "As a young naval aviator, Dusty Rhodes was shot down by the Japanese on his first combat mission in World War II. Toughing out the rest of the war in POW camps, he wondered if he would ever fly again. But Rhodes was destined to take flying to new heights." "As a leader of the Blue Angels, Raleigh E. "Dusty" Rhodes participated in developing the most famous aerobatics team ever formed. Jim Armstrong draws on interviews with Dusty and his colleagues, Dusty's scrapbooks, flight logs, and prison journal, to produce a rare account of the Blue Angels in the late 1940s--when the Blues perfected their trademark diamond formation and barrel roll and transitioned from prop planes to jet aircraft. The moving account of the brutality Rhodes suffered for three years as a prisoner of war includes his rare, ground observer's view of the firebombings of Tokyo and Yokohama. Armstrong also captures Dusty's uncertainty in returning to postwar America, and recounts his tour as a fighter pilot in Korea. A testament to one man's indomitable optimism, courage, and achievements, From POW to Blue Angel will carve a place in aviation history and inspire all to keep their eyes skyward".…
