My Quest to Fly: Memories and Photos of China, with the American and Chinese Air Forces, 1936-1940

My Quest to Fly: Memories and Photos of China, with the American and Chinese Air Forces, 1936-1940 -- Sebie Smith's lifelong desire to fly and his mechanical expertise landed him in China with his friend Claire Chennault, the Flying Tigers, and Madame Chiang Kai-shek in the years leading up to World War II. As a military adviser to the Chinese National Air Force, Smith took thousands of photos and kept a daily journal. Those records made possible this exceptional memoir by the 94-year-old retired Air Force colonel. He witnessed first-hand the Japanese invasion of China, including the immediate aftermath of the Rape of Nanking, along with other monumental events, such as the Potsdam Conference. Part memoir, part adventure story, Smith's book is a valuable addition to aviation literature and a fascinating, enjoyable read.
