“The experience of a young chap in the army air service—a fellow who embodied all that was fine and noble in young manhood, who suffered continual disappointment in not being able to get his overseas orders and in being held on this side as an instructor in bombing, and who yet retained his humor and philosophy of life—are pictured in ‘Granville,’ the subtitle of which is ‘Tales and tail spins from a flyer’s diary.’ The book, which is published anonymously in deference to the wishes of the author’s family, contains a series of letters from ‘Granny’ to his folks at home. These tell of his hopes and desires, his setbacks, his friends in the service and the girls he met, and the experiences that he went through from the time he entered ground school until he received his last orders.”—Springf’d Republican

“The writer is so frank and outspoken in what he says and thinks and does that anyone reading the book cannot help feeling unbounded admiration for him. From cover to cover the book is filled with a buoyancy and a joy of living that leave one refreshed with even a few short pages.”
