To quote the author these men and women fought not for fame and recognition, but because it was the right thing to do. When they came back they rebuilt America into a superpower. No other society in history ever produced such a generation. Robert E Case was of this generation. He never thought he was anything special. He flew 167 combat missions against the empire of Japan in an antiquated underpowered aircraft against a numerically superior, better trained, and better equipped enemy and never once thought that what he did was anything special. He flew and fought when the United States was not winning, the enemy was not defeated or strangled by lack of supply, and the outcome of the war was unknown yet each morning he climbed aboard his P39 Airacobra and took to the skies and there was (according to him) nothing special in that. Robert was awarded 13 Combat Air Medals and the Distinguished Flying Cross if you asked him why he was awarded the Air Medals - his response was that he ate his oatmeal; if you asked him why he was awarded the DFC he would say it was because he didnt complain about eating his oatmeal.view less
