A World War II Flight Surgeon's Story

As Nazi German planes darkened the skies of the European Theater during WWII, the United States rallied to the challenge. Brave pilots fought and died under often intense and dangerous conditions, racing to end the war which was creating such devastation and loss of lives. Keeping these men flying were the flight surgeons. The doctors who treated the minds and bodies of the crews. Stress, injury, infectious disease, and difficult living conditions took their tolls, as the flight surgeons fought to keep the army air force in fighting form.


Dr. Lamb Myhr was one such flight surgeon. As he served in North Africa, England and the mainland of Europe, Dr. Myhr treated horrific injuries, unfamiliar illnesses, and venereal disease, as well as supervising the health and safety of the entire base. As pilots and crew struggled with fatigue, disease, and devastating losses, Dr. Myhr healed, counseled, and taught them, often with limited resources. He worked long hours in unsafe conditions, making split-second decisions to save lives.
His war experiences offer a rare glimpse into the daily life of a flight surgeon on the frontlines through Dr. Myhr's records, correspondence, personal pictures and memories, exploring firsthand the perils and pressures of one of these unsung heroes.

An amazing read!

John Lescroart never disappoints. I'm a big fan, have been since his first book. His characters and story lines keep you riveted to your seat. Once I start one of his books, I find it hard to stop. Treasure Hunt, featuring members of the Hunt Club, was terrific right til the end. The only bad thing about reading John Lescroart's books is the long wait for the next one.

Don't miss this one

John Lescroart, long known for his Dismas Hardy novels, struck gold a few years ago with THE HUNT CLUB, which introduced Wyatt Hunt's San Francisco-based private investigative service. The book was so popular that Lescroart probably could have phoned in TREASURE HUNT to similar acclaim. Instead, he has given us one of his most complex, riveting and entertaining works to date. TREASURE HUNT begins with Mickey Dade, one of...
