J.B. Morehead: An American Hero by Catherine C. Morgan is a sometimes interesting biography of a little known Air Force pilot in history. Moreland's experiences in World War II I found fascinating. I wish there was more written about his war experiences. By contrast a great deal of the book is about hunting which I have no interest in what-so-ever. I find nothing noble about sport hunting and the endless photographs of the subject holding dead animals was just plain tedious. Catherine Morgan's writing style is perfectly suited to this type of book and I'm sorry to read that she pre-deceased the books pubication. People interested in World War II exploits, hunting and pilots might find this biography worth the read.
