Donkey Galloping Out of Hell - The Jack Hildebrandt Story

Book excerpt: Donkey Galloping Out of Hell - The Jack Hildebrandt Story is a remarkable portrait of the fighting attitude of a long-gone era. Told from the perspective of the enemy, Luftwaffe bomber/fighter pilot Jack Hildebrandt's amazing story is startlingly vivid, horrifying, and compelling. From his affluent, yet tragic childhood during the rise of the terrifying Nazi Party, to the embattled skies along the Russian Front and Western Europe and the shedding of his own blood, to talking his way out of a prisoner-of-war camp in American English after he was captured by the Americans, to achieving his childhood dream of coming to America and becoming an American citizen, Jack's remarkable, disarming candor concerning his duty toward defending his country - both birth and adopted - will rattle your conscience.
