Distant Thunder - A Life Remembered
Preview 1 - Growing Up
"Ranching in those days in the border country took raw guts. By the time I was five years old I was working the cattle on horseback and milking six cows twice a day. I was too young to go to school but not too young to do a man's work."

Preview 2 - War
"I pulled off all four throttles and dropped the nose into a spiraling dive straight down for five thousand feet, pulling it out at about 350 miles per hour on a heading the opposite of the one the German was on and probably passed under him at a high rate of speed."
|
Preview 3 - Hollywood
"One day, Sy Bartlett called me and said they were going to shoot a movie called Twelve O'clock High. They were trying to get all the actors they could find who were bomber pilots in the 8th Air Force in England to play roles in the movie, and could I have lunch with him and Beirne Lay, Jr. at the studio."

Preview 4 - Epilogue
"And yet, as leaves tumble in the wind and the days grow short, I still hear distant thunder. I look off at the horizon, waiting for something."
