Touch the Face of God by Robert Vaughan
Touch the Face of God by Robert Vaughan is about a WWII Bomber pilot named Lieutenant Mark W. White.
The story starts with Mark in a train station waiting for a train to Langley Field in Virginia when he hears a woman at the ticket booth trying to get a ticket. He walked over and pretended to be her husband so she could get her ticket. While Mark was serving in Britain, he wrote down all of his bomber missions in letters to home. He went through many missions, but the overall toughest was when he was limping back to his airbase after his plane got shot up badly. He barely made it back, and when he did get back, he had startling news waiting for him. He hadn’t been flying the plane. The hydraulics were sdestroyed, so the most that Mark could do was keep the plane in the air. He put is flight wings in the chapel at base, saying “I wasn’t flying that plane, and I know who was. He deserves these wings.”
This is a great book; I would recommend it to ages 10 and up. I rate it five out of five stars.
