Summary

"Eagles' Wings presents the remarkable story of two friends who grew up in Battle Creek, Michigan during the 1930's. At the onset of World War II, both men embarked on separate paths that simultaneously thrust them into the terror of war amid the skies of Europe. Both were seriously wounded and would spend nearly a year as prisoners of war. Through an unlikely series of events, the two men were later reunited and sent by chance to an orthopedic hospital located just blocks away from their childhood homes"--P. [4] of cover.
