The Brown Shoes

This is the generation the historians forgot to write about. This generation was in “the golden age” of aviation. The earliest trained in burlap and bailing wire N2S trainers. The last flew supersonic aircraft.  These men are now passing into history — their stories are recorded in these pages.
