This is a heartwarming book, a labor of love, and doubly valuable for the insight it brings into the life of a warrior and to the country that the warrior defended. Anyone reading this book will see a superb slice of Americana that most of us would like to experience again today. Read this fine book, and you'll see how a true hero lived and died for his country. -- Walter J. Boyne, Colonel, USAF (Ret.), former director of the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum, member of the National Aviation Hall of Fame, best-selling author A heartfelt tribute to one of 34,000 mostly anonymous Americans who died defending freedom in South Korea. Unforgotten Hero ends with a gut-wrenching revelation that should be known by everyone who wears his country's uniform. -- Barrett Tillman, aviation author and military historian This is a wonderful story, beautifully written. Jim Escalle traces the story of his uncle from a farm childhood in the San Joaquin Valley, into jet combat half a world away in Korea. It's a story unique to his uncle, but common to men all across America who have answered the call of duty. I finished the book feeling as if I'd known these people and lived this life. It's a remarkable achievement. -- Stephen P. Randolph, Colonel, USAF (Ret.), fighter pilot, Operation Desert Storm, instructor at National Defense University, author of Powerful and Brutal Weapons: Nixon, Kissinger, and the Easter Offensive Unforgotten Hero tells a story of not only one brave and devoted person, but encompasses those millions of heroes whose lives have culminated in the defense of our country. Without such dedicated loyalty, this United States would not remain a land of the free in this or any other war. -- Walter D. Dan Druen, Lieutenant General, USAF (Ret.), fighter Pilot, Korea and Vietnam Marvellous book! I couldn't put it down until I finished reading it. Lieutenant Escalle's life was parallel to mine in many ways. -- Cecil G. Foster, Lieutenant Colonel, USAF (Ret.), fighter pilot, Korea and Vietnam, author of MiG Alley to Mu Ghia Pass: Memoirs of a Korean War Ace
