Often relying on his self-deprecating wit and wisdom, Sims spent the years before Pearl Harbor playing college football for Southern Methodist University in Dallas and fending off sexy co-eds while trying to stay true to his girlfriend back home. But in June of 1942, Sims enters the U.S. Naval Reserve and becomes a member of the elite Sundowner Squadron.
As a fighter pilot in the Pacific, he discovers that overcoming the atrocities of a cruel enemy requires a similar fortitude to surviving the vicissitudes of a love triangle. But as the war draws to a close, Sims will face the ultimate test of his loyalty-and his heart.
Goodbye Sims Goodbye Takeo artfully blends honest fact and earnest fiction around the life of real-life hero and collegiate-football-star-turned-fighter pilot, John Peak Sims. John Anderson Norman pens a powerful World War II novel that brilliantly captures the harsh reality of warfare with the intensity of human emotion.
