Description: PINKY: THE STORY OF NORTH DAKOTAS FIRST AERIAL COMBAT ACE By Franklin Hook He might not be in most history books, nor is he personally commemorated with statues. But Lieutenant (JG) Francis Register, also known as Pinky, was one of the true unsung heroes of World War 2. Written by award Winning author William Franklin Hook, MD, author of Never Subdued and Desert Storm Diary, this history of Pinky's life and service aims to inspire and inform about his work as a navy fighter pilot- which meant often working to the point of exhaustion, and eventually paying the ultimate price. The Pilot, a recipient of a Distinguished Flying Cross, two Air Medals, and a Purple Heart, played an important role in protecting bases from Japanese airstrikes during the Second World War. For the first time, the story of this real American hero is being shared with the world, backed by firsthand sources including diary excerpts, memories of his surviving brother Bill, and 1940s media interviews.
