{"product_id":"9781551994789","title":"Laughter-Silvered Wings: Remembering the Air Force II","description":"From the author of \u003ci\u003eBoys, Bombs, and Brussels Sprouts\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Tumbling Mirth: Remembering the Air Force\u003c\/i\u003e comes yet another uproarious ascent into high-altitude insanity. And this time, J. Douglas Harvey includes delightful anecdotes sent to him by “WDs” -- as enthusiastic and proud as any member of the air force, the first-ever members of the Women's Division led a life that was often tough, but always intriguing. This book contains dozens of hilarious stories from WDs who recall the days when uniforms seemed to come in just a single size -- but women had to be brave in more ways than one. There is a wealth of other incident here as well. Confessions of blunders (or hair-breadth escapes) in the air, details of disastrous parades, and stories of social occasions that were sometimes bungled -- but always enjoyed. Poems, pranks, and practical jokes are all part of this light-hearted look at the air force from pre-Royal Canadian Air Force days on.","brand":"McClelland \u0026amp; Stewart","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47145734013168,"sku":"9781551994789","price":2.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781551994789_p0.jpg?v=1763752839","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781551994789","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
