The New Guinea Cow: An Alternate WW2 History of Military Aviation
Book Two of the "Alto Group, Mercenaries at Large"
Limping back home after daring the might of Imperial Japan to deliver weapons to Wake Island and rescue 400 civilians, the Alto Group try to settle in to build more of their huge transports for Pan American Airways new military contract air freight operation and direct sale to the US military. Using a cross country test flight of a new six engine "Giant" freighter to deliver their first shipment of components to Ford Motor Company's B-24 Liberator plant resulted in General George Kenny getting to fly their plane. They shrug off the incident.....until two months later when Kenny calls them. Kenny has taken command of the most battered rag-tag unit in the Far East, the American 5th Air Force. Conventional help and reinforcements aren't coming, so the unconventional Alto Group is.

About the Author

Dennis Baer is a pilot and amateur historian. He has worked as a bill collector, carpenter, technician, electronic warfare specialist assigned to the 23rd TFW, USAF, auto company engineer and reporter, or as one Human Resources guy put it - he can't hold a job. Dennis is retired from a 28 year career with a major multinational manufacturing firm where his problem solving, engineering, and flying abilities at one point earned him a special 'outstanding service' company award. The citation that explained the action that caused the award is completely blank. Dennis and his bride of 40 years live in the "Depot Town" district of a Detroit suburb where he writes and tinkers with machine tools.
