Welcome
to our tribute page for the men and women who fought, served and sacrificed
everything for the preservation and freedom through out the world: "World
War II - Heroes Of Yesterday - Legends Of Tomorrow."
Here you will find articles written by regular Fedora Chronicles Staff
members and our readers that help to tell the story of World War II and
to chronicle the lives of those who contributed. Also, you'll find stories
about the war from the perspective of those who stayed home and what happened
during the war on The Home Front.
You'll also find links and reviews of films that were made during World
War II as well as films that have been made since that are about global
conflict - we will review both the good and the bad and how they stand up
to history. We also will use this page to alert you to what specials are
about to air on Television about World War II.

serving in Italy and surrounding areas in Europe.

Jade Rooster (Paperback) by R.L. Crossland
Two Americans, one civilian, one navy enlisted man, are drawn into the
hard-boiled underworld of early 20th Century Japan as they investigate the
grisly discovery of three severed human heads adrift in an open boat belonging
to a missing ship. Their exploration of the seedy side of the Asiatic Fleet
exposes brutal violence and betrayal lurking in unexpected quarters. Blending
the historical authenticity of Patrick O'Brian with the crackling narrative
and dialogue of Raymond Chandler, Crossland establishes himself as a unique
voice in nautical fiction.
A non-profit organization dedicated to the preservation
and perpetuation of the classic WWII aircraft, the P-38 Lightning. - Be
sure to check out this website to read the story about "Glacier Girl" -
a P-38 abandoned in Greenland, and then recovered and restored to it's former
glory!
