    I drove Patton's "shortcut" to Messina while I was stationed at Sigonella. Had to stop at Corleone, but didn't buy a Godfather T-shirt. The Carabinieri were cool with us, the white NAFI plates got us out of a few scoldings.

    I would think that the Tiger's muzzle blast would cause some serious injury if not death to that courageous jeep driver. That historical documentary implies otherwise.

    Blurb: MISSION to HELL - Just yesterday, Sergeant Gil MacDonald and his APC crew had been fending off an ambush in a Viet Nam jungle. In the middle of the firefight, some kind of magic spell had transported them to this Fantasy Land complete with flying dragons, wizards, crazy castles, and dispossessed princes.They would stay trapped here forever unless they could rescue the sorceress Gabrielle. Master magician, Amon, held her captive in his palace; and to reach her, Gil and his men would have to infiltrate Hell itself!

    Roger Zelazny, just a suggestion. "Nine Princes In Amber" for a starter.

    Finished Colburn's Diary of a Common Footsoldier.

    MOUNT UP!: One Cavalryman's World War II Diary: Europe & Beyond by Gough. Gough started out as a cavalry trooper at Fort Riley, KS and because of his mechanical aptitude transitioned from "horsey" to "greasy" (mechanized). He fought as in Europe as a member of the 17th Cavalry Squadron, 15th Cavalry Group.
