Army Brat (plastic perfect binder)

Personal memoir of Dorothy Wurster, born in 1924 and raised in an Army family. The book details growing up during the depression while stationed at several Army bases in the US. Her father, John M. Devine was chief of staff to George Patton prior to World War Two. During the war, he served as the commander of the Eight Armored Division. The book also details Dorothy's marriage to Charles A. Wurster, a pilot in the US Air Force, including his service as an F-80 and P-52 pilot during the Korean conflict. The Wurster's were stationed in Japan as part of the US occupation forces when the Korean conflict started. Charles shot down two enemy aircraft in air to air engagements. He sustained a serious brain injury when his P-52 suffered an engine failure while taking off on a combat mission. The story of his recovery is told in this book, along with Dorothy's experience recovering from a polio infection in the mid 50's. Both went on to great success in later life.
