The Dog Who Could Fly: The Incredible True Story of a WWII Airman and the Four-Legged Hero Who Flew At His Side

From Booklist In 1939, after surviving a crash in a French battlefield, Czech airman Robert Bozdech saved the life of his pilot and then, in spite of the dire circumstances, a small German Shepherd puppy the two men found in an abandoned farmhouse. In the years that followed as Bozdech, a man without a country, flew for the French and the RAF, his dog, Ant, was always by his side, a dearly loved mascot. Lewis was able to contact Bozdech’s children and gain access to his personal wartime memoirs as well as letters home and other papers related to his military experiences. The result is a gripping war story and an utterly heartfelt narrative about a man and a dog, where the ending, thank goodness, is happy. On more than one occasion, Ant saved Bozdech, and he certainly returned the favor. Through enemy gunfire, circumventing official regulations and dangerous illness, they were loyal and true to each other and the war effort. A stirring drama of WWII that dog lovers will not be able to resist. --Colleen Mondor
