How Goes It With America III

In The Interests of Educational Reform (2011 Revision)

By: Harry Gael Michaels

The issues of concern are the frustrations, violence, educational disappointments and insults to children of the United States. My book begins with the shooting at Columbine High School on April 20, 1999 and then takes a look back to the high-lights of recent American history from WWII as an attempt to put into some perspective the major events that seem to have contributed to the devaluation of the professionalism of teachers and educators and public education in general. This, then, leads to a presentation of the need for educational reform with specific recommendations as well as guidance models for the young as an adjunct to societal reform and a final summation of purposes and directions for the future. It also provides teaching points and a guidance manual for those in the fields of counseling, civics, modern U.S. history, psychology and sociology.

Wings Over Normandy

A Story of the B-26 and One Man That Flew It

By: Harry Gael Michaels

This novel is about one young man, of Irish Catholic descent, growing up in San Francisco of emigrant Irish parents and entering WWII shortly after the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. During his high school years he works, in his spare time, at the Fisherman’s wharf. He meets and falls in love with the daughter of a fishing boat skipper but one night as they are crossing the street to go to dinner at a small restaurant in the North Beach District a random bullet from China Town finds its mark in the chest of the girl he intends to build his life around and the event leaves the young man in state of anger and despair as the war breaks out. He joins the service and becomes a pilot of a B-26 medium bomber which eventually takes him to combat in Europe and his participation in the Normandy invasion on June 6, 1944. While recuperating from wounds and emotional exhaustion suffered from a bombing mission in France he meets and falls in love with an Irish girl. The book, itself, is a work of historical fiction but stays close to the factual history of the WWII era with special reference to the war in Europe and the part played by the Eighth U.S. Air Force and the Royal Air Force of Great Britain.
