Seven War Stories presents the autobiography of a retired air force
veteran who served in the Korean War, the conflict in Southeast
Asia, and the Cuban crisis. Donald J. Meek's boyhood dream was to
be a pilot in the air force-a goal that was unattainable when he
enlisted, as high school graduates were not being accepted into
pilot training. He was determined to fly, however, and became a
crewmember in numerous types of aircraft; trying many different
jobs until he achieved his ultimate goal of becoming a pilot.
Mystery and intrigue reign as Meek reveals the intimate details of
the clandestine duties that he performed during the "Secret War" in
Laos. He recounts unbelievable tales of heroism that he performed
in the line of duty during the Southeast Asia conflict. Experience
the feel of the .50 caliber guns in a gunner's compartment during a
night intruder mission as well as the firing of a simulated nuclear
missile from an Air Defense Command fighter-interceptor as he
details seven suspenseful flights that provided the basis for his
illustrious career as a pilot.
