Janey: A Little Plane in a Big War by Alfred W. Schultz, this is a
personal history of a liaison pilot in World War II. The difference between the
two books is that Janey is about the liberation of North Africa and
Europe. Low and Slow is about the liberation of the Philippines as seen
from 800 feet up. This
book “...is like listening to a favorite uncle entertaining his nephews with
an old adventure so extraordinary that he still can’t quite believe that he
took part in it. A delightful book.”--Daniel Ford, Smithsonian Air &
Space Magazine book review, January 2000 The
book’s title comes from the mother who urged: “Son, be careful; fly low and
slow.” Low
and slow is exactly where any military pilot doesn’t want to be, but it is
where Army artillery spotters such as Schultz and Moore spent their time. As
Alfred Schultz received credit for downing a German fighter in Europe with his
Piper Cub, Janey, Moore once had a dogfight with a Japanese Zero. Moore’s
Piper Cub was armed with a carbine while the Zero had two cannons and two
machine guns. Moore and his rear seat “gunner” escaped by landing as the
Zero set itself up for a fast attack. Moore and his companion had just made it
to a ditch when the Zero passed over.
Moore
had been warned by his commander that the odds didn’t favor a liaison pilot:
“All you have to do is fly one of these things long enough, and it will get
you.” Fortunately, Don Moore, author of Low and Slow, survived to write
a wonderful companion book to Alfred W. Schultz’s Janey. LOW
