SynopsisPATRIOT'S WILL describes a salt-of-the-earth member of the greatest generation, his exploits in World War II as an Army flyer in B-17s in the 8th Air Force, and his return to duty after the war ended. This tanker/turned MP/turned radio operator-gunner fought to join the 369th Bomb Squadron of the 306th Bomb Group and fly his 24 missions. His down-to-earth first hand accounts of serving and living with men of the 369th give the reader a graphic feel of life in wartime England and in flak-laden German and French airspace. PATRIOT'S WILL is a must read for all who are interested in World War II, who had friends or relatives in the 8th Air Force, or who want to freshly appreciate what our young men did and how they performed when duty called. ---------------- Jerry Hilmes, Lieutenant General, US Army (Retired) Jack Hubbard has written a fascinating story of his experiences in World War II as a Canadian soldier and as an American airman. Great reading for all! ---------------- George M. Johnson, Major General, USAF (Retired) I have had the distinct pleasure of reading PATRIOT'S WILL so ably written by Major Hubbard. I strongly urge all readers who are interested in the history of one of the great combat units of World War II, the Eighth Air Force, to read this most graphic combat report written by one of its memorable officers. ---------------- Allard G. Slim Russell, Captain, U.S. Navy (Ret)

Great story, loved this book. Should be made into a movie.
I'm not much of a book reader, but having an interest in WWII as my dad was a B-17 navigator, and further, being as Mr. Hubbard was in the same bomb group as my dad, I had to give this book a try. As it is, I couldn't put the book down! It starts off with his growing up during the depression from a broken family, describes as a young boy hitch hiking and jumping trains across the country between his mother and his father (while only a pre-teen, no less) with numerous exploits along the way, and continues on through his trying to join the Army when WWII breaks out. The US Army wouldn't take him initially but he lied about his age and managed to join the Canadian Army. He goes on in detail about his exploits in training, being shipped overseas and eventually transferring into the USAAF, eventually ending up as an RO in a B-17. Great stories about a pretty hard core attitude and a hard knock life during depression and wartime eras and some of the great experiences he had as well. Someone with his experience, I would've told him to write a book as well. For someone who doesn't have the patience to sit and read a book, I read this 245 or so pages in a couple sittings over 24 hours.
