All's Fair: a Personal History of War and Love Allie R. Ferguson

ALL'S FAIR may be the last book ever written about air combat in World War II by a man who fought it. The author was a B-l 7 pilot in Europe; his wife, a technical sergeant in the Marine Corps. Here is the defeat of tyranny:- near death and bomb strikes from five miles in the sky. Here, too, is a woman's struggle to "free a [male] Marine to fight." In ALL'S FAIR lonely love marches through war arm-in-arm with the shadow of death, as it always has. After the shadow was blown away, the highest echelons of the military had to be challenged before the Air Force pilot and the Marine Corps sergeant could live together as man and wife -even after his combat was done.
