David Sears - Such Men as These

Our Guest this week is David Sears. We discuss his new book “Men Such as These”.

In 1951, James Michener went to Korea to report on a little known aspect of America’s stalemated war: navy aviators. His research inspired novel about these pilots became an overnight bestseller and, perhaps, the most widely read book ever written about aerial combat.

Using Michener’s notes, author David Sears tracked down the actual pilots to tell their riveting, true-life stories. From the icy, windswept decks of aircraft carriers, they penetrated treacherous mountain terrain to strike heavily defended dams, bridges, and tunnels, where well entrenched Communist anti-aircraft gunners waited to shoot them down. Many of these men became air combat legends, and one, Neil Armstrong, the first astronaut to walk on the moon.

Such Men As These brims with action-packed accounts of combat and unforgettable portraits of the pilots whose skill and sacrifice made epic history.

Next Week

We will have on Tom Craughwell and we will discuss 2 of the 28 hardest Presidential demissions that faced this country. Folks, I have to tell you that I had a great time on this interview and Tom is someone will will most defiantly have back on. Don't miss this show.

Also

We have expanded our Membership, Sponsorship and Supporter section. Be sure to have a look at the new dollar amounts and what is offered. One huge change is that we are offering a group rate that will not go primarily to OHP but to other groups around the country to help with funding and projects on the local level.

Embracing History Magazine is being put together as we speak. We have gotten a lot of great stories so far and I have written a couple myself. The deadline for the first issue is September 1, 2010. So get those stories in!

Relic Roundup

We did get a response from the Texas Board of Education and at least one member has agreed to join us. The date of that is still to be determined but we will keep you up to date.

If you have not kept up with the news, Texas hit the National Press last month over its decisions to revamp the states curriculum and textbooks. I had read numerous articles and watch over 20 news shows and was surprised that almost none covered the story in full. It turned out to be all slants with no answers. We will have the story here LIVE. Stay Tuned!
