What to expect
Some of the many true tales that author Donald Aines recounts include:
● He would never be cast as a dashing war hero, but a cast member of The Addams Family television show volunteered for one of the most dangerous jobs the Army Air Force had to offer.
● The US Navy's deadliest submarine claimed an unexpected victim with its last torpedo, and led to one of the war's most harrowing tales of survival.
● Bob Hoover's escape from a German stalag would have made a great movie.
● British commando "Mad Jack" Churchill earned his nickname, arming himself to fight a twentieth century war with a fifteenth century attitude and weapons.
Within the pages of Strange and Obscure Stories of World War II, the reality of war trumps fiction.
