Normandy to Nazi Surrender

This audiobook recounts the remarkable military career of Van Slayden, who trained on a PT-3 biplane in 1937 and later served as a fighter pilot during World War II. He flew the P-47 Thunderbolt across Northern France, led the 36th Fighter Group through key missions, and was among the first in the AAF to land on German soil. A rural Tennessean by origin, Slayden’s story highlights his significant contributions during a pivotal time in history.
