Wings of Our Own: Heroes, Happenings & History at Air Force Spouses

In 1999, I was at McGuire AFB with Mrs. Johnson when she was putting this wonderful compilation of true stories together. She was involved in many aspects and organizations of base life and had a wonderfully positive outlook on everything. The book that came together holds that happy, uplifting feeling. Now, after two children and several moves, I've finally ordered the finished product and have thoroughly enjoyed reading it before bed every night. I like the humor and the reality of what I am still going through as a wife of an active duty husband. Thank you P.K. and best of luck!

When PK Johnson wrote this book, little did she know that our nation would be facing "wars and rumor of wars." I believe her carefully crafted book was written for such a time as this. This book of encouragement is one of those timeless reads that will help to meet the needs of military families for years to come. I enjoyed the humor sprinkled throughout as well as the inspiration gleened from other spouses who have "been there, done that" and faced similar challenges that I face as a military spouse. This is a must read for all military spouses and those who love them--no matter which branch of the service you are in.

Johnson's text is exceptioinally well written making Wings Of Our Own a particularly moving and memorable anthology recommended for 20th Century American history, home front military history, and air force history reading lists and reference collections.
