Now Available On Kindle and NOOK Book!"Perhaps many of you have not had the experience of taking a trip by air, for you who have not, I am going to tell you of a trip I took from Austin to San Antonio, Texas... I saw a man, dressed in a white suit, board the plane; on his cap I could see the letters "Chief Pilot." The motors were gunned up, and in a second we shot into the air... ...As long as I live I shall consider this as the most outstanding trip that I have ever had."
Robert Early Willson, Jr. |

"Letters From My Son" is a poignant journey that took a boy from Texas to the big city of New York to rub elbows with Dorothy Lamour and Cab Calloway, on to the historic field from which Howard Hughes and Amelia Earhart soared into record books, and finally across the ocean to "give his all" in World War II with Churchill's celebrated Royal Air Force. A journey that lay hidden in a trunk for almost fifty years, a story unspoken by a family unable to stem the pain of their loss. And it began in a dusty box of letters that Early Jr. himself wrote of his exhilarating and tragic life's journey.
