Vietnam veteran Hiawatha Oakes wrote, ""I can't thank you enough for your efforts in obtaining a photo of my H-21, the 'Blue Angel', and having it in your book. My family calls your book, ""lost pieces of treasures found."" These two quotations represent all that is relevant to the author in history gathering: the hard work and its rewards.
