1 comments about V-Bombs and Weathermaps: Reminiscences of World War II.
- I learned about this book during my undergraduate work at SUNY Potsdam, NY, where Brock, the author was a music professor. He'd also speak in various history classes about his experiences in the Canadian military, which this memoir focuses on.
A truly multi-talented man, he was an expert meteorologist during the period this book focuses on. He also was an observer of the development of plastic surgery, during his recovery from bomb injuries described here. Later, he worked as a music professor at the Crane School of Music, part of SUNY Potsdam, and one of the largest schools for music teachers. He conducted the orchestra at the Lake Placid Olympics, also described in this book.
If you've never had the chance to meet Brock, get to know him a little here.
