Introduction
Vern White was a very modest man, he often said when asked for his wartime experiences that others had more interesting experiences. It was not until after he died that it was revealed to the Association by his wife, Enid, that he had a book written of his wartime experiences. Although it was compiled and published by his niece, Susan Spicer, for his 80th birthday and only for family use, the story was told by Vern, a natural storyteller. With kind permission from Mrs. Enid White we have serialized a few pages of his book in ROAR. Here we publish the complete book. Among the many interesting facts about Vern’s wartime career was that he was the owner of two Caterpillar pins and his second bail out resulted in capture and becoming a Prisoner of War.
Vern was also one of the "founding fathers" of the Association along with Al D'Eon, Stan Miller and Roy Inkster.
