Heroic Pigeons | Arch Whitehouse |

The sleek fighter planes of modern times are today's warriors
with wings. While the electronic age has grounded the homing pigeon, the
story of these undaunted couriers remains a part of our military history.
Mission after mission these winged messengers have doggedly flown to their
home base, sometimes responsible for the rescue of whole battalions.
Arch Whitehouse tells the story of the famous pigeon heroes-from GI Joe who saved the lives of 1,000 British troops at Colvi Vecchia to Cher Ami, famed World War I pigeon who rescued the Lost Battalion on October 4, 1918. Decorated for their loyal and invaluable service, pigeons have received Purple Hearts and Croix de Guerre. As Arch Whitehouse weaves their flight history, the homing pigeons of yesterday become gallant birds, heroes in every meaning of the word. Published 1965 Very good ex-libary hardback |
