Paula- Thank you, this is outstanding. John Ford was also in combat on D-day. He was on a large ship, I believe a cruiser and relatively safe. He chose to go on
a PT boat running around the during the battle. They came under fire several times. I think he wanted to get a feel for things and loved it. A brave man.

I just purchased "Pappy- The life of John Ford by Dan Ford" for $5 plus $ 9 or $11 shipping. pickmanmuseumshop.com/saleitems.html
I have read 27 pages and it seems to be very well written. I have already read some detail on his childhood and how his older brother Francis and John got started in the movie business.You can also call the museum at (646) 437-4213. The book is listed in the sale items category.
