Product Description
I WAS THERE WHEN THE WORLD STOOD STILL is a first-person account of how the December 7, 1941, attack on Pearl Harbor, put the dreams and aspirations of an 18 year-old Kansas farm boy on hold for four years and twenty days. In fact the dreams of millions of people from around the world were put on hold for the duration of that global war and all of our lives would be changed forever. The moment of that attack was the beginning of a total World War. I played a very small part in that global conflict that involved more men and women, over more of the world, with more loss of life and more destruction than any other recorded event in the history of the world. Of the 16 million Americans that were involved in that conflict the United States lost almost 300,000 men and another 670,800 suffered non-fatal battle wounds. This book describes in detail how one Kansas farm boy made the dramatic change from a peace-loving farm lad to a Navy combat pilot in a very short time.

WWII Naval Aviator Veteran's story October 5, 2003
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
This is a wonderful book. It is a very interesting story regarding this Naval Aviator's experiences in WWII. The author has included a lot of dates, events, & missions around the world that he & others were involved in. The Depression in the 1940's had a devasting inpact on our world. This is a "must read" if you want to learn how an 18 year-old Kansas farm boy transformed into a Navy Combat Pilot.
