Synopsis "Korea - A Short Time In A Small War: A Combat Story in the B-26 in the Korean War"

It's winter above North Korea. Your airplane has been hit, and the pilot is unable to feather the prop. You are going down. The other three crewmen are discussing when to jump. The new untrained 2nd lieutenant navigator in the right seat with a borrowed and ill-fitting parachute knows he will likely fall out of the chute when it opens. This isn't an action movie. It's what real people experienced as aviators during the Korean War, spending countless missions flying through the dark, risking life and limb to navigate the mountains and valleys of enemy terrain. For veteran navigator Charles W. Hinton, his time in the war was short, but the memories of what he and his squadron accomplished will last a lifetime. Pulled from navigation school straight into a tour of duty, he had no previous training to speak of and learned to fly combat in a B-26 attack while literally in the line of fire. Korea: A Short Time in a Small War is a firsthand account of Hinton's six months of experience during this tumultuous period in history, along with the stories of a diverse collection of friends and foes he interacted with along the way.
