VALLEY OF THE SKY Novel by Hobart D. Skidmore Armed Services Edition P-9

Description: THERE are certain thing in the soul of war that only a thoughtful novel can reveal. We did not know these things about the last war until we read A Farewell to Arms, All Quiet on the Western Front, Three Soldiers. Some of the things about this war are being told while it is still going on. Valley of the Sky deals with the war of the air, with the intimacies of battle, fear and fortitude, with what men fight for, and what men think about when they fight:--women. democracy, concrete roads and billboards, sodas at the corner drugstore, a Saturday night drunk, or all of those things, or nothing. Hobert Skidmore’s, novel takes you deep into the minds and lives of the men who fly and fight in the shimmering valley of sky above the Pacific. We believe it to be one of the first important novels to come from the fighting air front. Now at Headquarters, Central Pacific Area, Hobert D. Skidmore, the author, has been in the Army twenty-two months, overseas sixteen months and seven of those in the combat zone. This special edition of VALLEY OF THE SKY by Hobert D. Skidmore has been made available to the Armed Forces of the United States through an arrangement with the original publisher, Houghton Mifflin Company, Boston. Editions for the Armed Services.
