Dancin' With Dollies

Edwin Dwight Ledbetter was born on March 9, 1924 in Conway, Arkansas, was a B-17 pilot in WWII shot down over France, POW, recipient of France's Legion of Honor award, Phi Beta Kappa from Berkeley, graduate of Harvard Law School 1953, a diplomat in the United States Foreign Service. This war memoir is published posthumously, seven years after his demise. These are his words, a war memoir he had been working on for many years. He became so involved and charmed by it that it grew like Topsy and he began to insert other people's stories. As his loving wife, upon rereading his memoir, I have decided to omit other people's war stories and stay with his alone, or those with whom he shared that experience.
