Some forty years after WWII Navy pilot Billy Benson disappeared in the Himalaya Mountains on a secret mission to China, his plane is discovered under the melting ice and snow. As his body is recovered and returned to his family, his life is reviewed through a series of flashbacks.
The plot of Billy Benson revolves around life of an American boy in a typical small Southern town before and during WWII.
As the reader shares in the family, friends, school and hometown of Billy Benson, from boyhood to young manhood, he or she becomes aware of the influences that accounted for the man he became. It was these same values that shaped so many of the men who fought a war on two fronts; the men whom newsman Tom Brokaw called “the Greatest Generation.”
Even though Billy Benson is a sequel, it stands on its own. Those who are reading Billy Benson only (or first), will be able to appreciate the American home front and the All-American boy in a simpler, more innocent time.
Those who have read Flights of Angels, the prequel to Billy Benson, will receive a gratifying sense of closure.

Don't miss out on any of the excitement of Billy Benson. For more excerpts see: Stearman Airplane, The Stearman, NAS Pensacola, and WWII Planes.
