Both history and memoir, The Flight tells the story of Richard W. 'Dick' Bridges's heroic service in World War II. This is a story not only about World War II and the bravery of a unique group of soldiers, but also about fathers and sons, what can get lost in the gulf between generations, and how patience and understanding can bridge that gap.

"Intended for general readers and World War II enthusiasts, Tyler Bridges's "The Flight" is part World War II history and part memoir. It is both the story of the harrowing wartime experiences of Bridges's father as well as an account of the journey he made to recover that part of his dad's history."--
