NEW BOOK FOR SALE

LeMay: The Life and Wars of General Curtis LeMay by Warren KozakThis book tells the whole story of the innovative pilot and navigator; the courageous general who led his bomber formation from the front, flying the lead bomber; the brilliant strategist; the unflagging patriot; and the founder of modern strategic bombing who was famous and notorious in turns.
It was LeMay who headed up the 21st Air Force and who changed the B-29 bombing tactics from high altitude precision bombing to low level including incendiary bombing thereby shortening the War considerably. The book's author Warren Kozak recently visited the Museum and was taken on a tour inside our B-29.
The book retails for $27.95 but Museum members pay $25.16 plus sales tax for a total of $26.67. It can be picked up at the Museum gift shop or shipped for an additional $4.00 by calling (860) 623-3305.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
