A For What It's Worth Post.
After posting in the John Young's B-24 thread, I remembered a book my father had bought for me ages ago when I was 3. After a few minutes of digging around in my 'junk' I found it. The title is "Flight to Everywhere" by Ivan Dimitri. It is a pictorial story of flights made by Dimitri in C-87's of the USAAF Air Transport Command during WWII. 240 pages of color and B/W photos. I was going to copy some of the pictures and post them here.



Then I happened to Google the title and found it is still available on Amazon; then found a library site that had the entire book available on line for FREE .
