Maternity Ward: Final Flight of a WWII Liberator is really about the brave soldiers, seamen, marines and airmen who have fought for America from the Revolutionary War to modern-day conflicts. No matter what the odds or conditions, our Armed Forces have given their all in support of our nation. S/S William J. Fay epitomizes the members of our Armed Forces--both enlisted men and officers. He answered the call of America and performed superlatively well. Although faced with terrific odds, he did not shrink from duty. Ms. Aronowitz has masterfully blended her narrative with S/S Fay's diary and captured the spirit of those who protect us. Hopefully it will move you as much as it did me.
Major Robert W. Sternfels, Squadron Commander, 345th Squadron, 98th Bomb Group, Pilot of B-24 "Sandman", September 1998
