World War II, Aviation, 8th AAF, Air War, POW, Vermont, National Guard Ready or Not! Tells of the aviation career of a B-17 pilot. J. Francis Angier was raised on a Vermont farm and became a B-17 pilot during WWII. He flew jets and helicopters during the Cold War, as well as many other types and models during a long aviation career. His love of flying was only exceeded by his love of family and country. Shot down over Germany in 1944, he spent seven months as a POW. His training, air battles, capture and survival are part of the story. So, too, are the many experiences that positioned and prepared him for his part in the air war over Europe. In Ready or Not, you'll come to understand and appreciate one of the many heroes of what author and journalist Tom Brokaw has called, "The Greatest Generation".
