Maurice had a strong love for airplanes, and joined the Air Force when World War II broke out. He became a Navigator and was stationed in England, after having flown over there from the USA in a B-17. The story of his experiences during the war is in his own words. Part 1 is entitled "My 2nd Schweinfurt" and Part 2 is "Life as a POW". An Air Force Museum at Pooler, GA [just NW of Savannah on I-95] displays a suitcase and a tin cup he made while a POW.
