Along the way the author describes a number of unique coincidences. He supplements his own narrative with quotes from conversations and correspondence with his relatives.The author ends the family's story with brief information about what happened to each man, along with a brief discussion of the author's own military service after the Korean War in the Demilitarized Zone, or DMZ, at the border of North Korea and South Korea.Included is a carefully transcribed and photographic reproduction of his father's handwritten World War II Mission Journal, detailing many of his missions flying across Europe for the Army Air Corps. His father ran bomb runs from Italy to Romania, France, Austria, Hungary, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, and Germany.Also included is an essay by one of his uncles that was written to honor Colonel Hank Mucci at his passing, memorializing Mucci's formation of an Army Ranger unit from a pack-mule artillery team.…
