When I was a young lad there was a bookshelf just inside the front door where we lived in the suburbs of Los Angeles. My parents weren't great readers so there weren't many books. But there was one that stood out and I never understood why it was there as it always seemed out of place and nobody would answer my questions (!).
Ithaca High School 1942 (New York). Note lower left photo. Arrow pointing to young student.

Third fellow from left.... A little study in aircraft of some sort.

The young man from Ithaca High School two years later. He was my mother's high school sweetheart and her first husband.

He was in the Pacific theater flying B-17. He survived the war but didn't survive my mother:-).
He retired USAF as colonel.
The book on the bookshelf?
