My Carrier War is a riveting account of carrier pilots and their planes, an engaging love story, and a courageous examination of a young man’s battle with — and eventual victory over — fear and self-doubt.On December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. Three days later, a young Navy pilot-in-training won his wings and soon found himself flying torpedo planes against enemy targets in the Pacific.From his days as a naval aviation cadet aboard the “Yellow Peril” biplane trainers, to his first bombing runs on Guadalcanal, to his life aboard an aircraft carrier in the South Pacific, Norman E. Berg offers an exciting, fast-paced narrative filled with humor and meticulous attention to detail. Much more than a simple WWII memoir, this story goes beyond the action of battle to explore the author’s innermost conflicts and chronicles one young couple’s wartime struggle to balance love, duty, and commitment.
