"FRIENDLY and ENEMY SKIES" is based on a Combat Diary kept by Robert Armstrong. His first solo flight was in July 1941. More than 60 years later he is still flying. He was a co-pilot, and later a pilot, on a B-17 assigned to the U.S. 8th Army Air Force during WWII. Flying out of England he flew 32 combat missions over Germany and German occupied territory. Each day and mission is described along with articles about the same mission taken from the military newspaper "Stars and Stripes." Stories include their plane being heavily damaged by anti-aircraft fire and the serious wounding of the pilot and a gunner. For returning the plane safely back to base he was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross. After completing his bombing tour he was assigned to an AIR-SEA RESCUE UNIT where he was in charge of six B-17s and crews carrying airborne life boats. There are 17 special inserts, 30 black and white photoes and four color photos. The book runs 250 pages and ends with a summary of special aviation events he experienced and a list of his pilot ratings.
