Book Description
"Howard Miner was a student in a small midwestern college when the War broke out. His journey through training and tours of duty as a PBY pilot in the South Pacific are skillfully captured in his art and narratives, framing a wartime drama with a personal coming of age story. The Black Cats flew at night in seaplanes painted entirely black. Their assignments were varied, from patrols and bombing raids to rescues and missions that took them over thousands of miles of water and countless islands. This is a tale of ordinary people navigating through exceptional circumstances -- the friendships made, the cultures discovered, and the constant threat of enemy engagements. Sketches of a Black Cat is a memoir reconstructed by his son, Ron, from a small library of artwork, journal entries, and writing. Through his father's eyes and first hand accounts, we explore the behind the scenes life and idiosyncracies of the military, the antithetical humor, and very real dangers, and the poetic imagery of these tropical places from the air. The descriptive verse and the artist's viewpoint provides us a creatively told and intriguing portrayal of World War II's Pacific Theater"--Page 4 of cover.

Book Description
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was the navigator on the plane, and I used the Navigator’s table to plot our location using charts, radar images, and sometimes star sightings. I had spent considerable time in flight school learning the intricacies of celestial navigation. #2 I was assigned to the tail gun position on many flights, where I would sit and wait for enemy fighters or anti-aircraft fire. I would usually just slam the hatch shut when something went wrong, without even thinking.
