Cowboy Down: A WWII Marine Fighter Pilot's Story

The "Greatest Generation" is disappearing and it is important their stories, their journeys through depression, wars and building the greatest nation not be lost to history. Now 90 years old, Bud Daniel tells us the story of his military service, particularly of the story of his Marine unit, VMF-114, a squadron of Corsair fighter pilots locked in one of the most bloody, and unnecessary, battles of the Pacific Theatre - the Battle of Peleliu. Central to his story are the special and enduring bonds that form between brothers in arms and of the tragic loss of their beloved leader, Major Robert "Cowboy" Stout, the heroic leader of his squadron and an Ace of Guadalcanal. Both Bud and â€œCowboyâ€ Stout are from Wyoming and shared the â€œcowboy toughâ€ spirit. This book is dedicated to Cowboy and to all of the members of VMF-114 who served our Nation so well.
