New Book Brings Colorado Senator Peter Dominick's World War II Diary to Life

LONGMONT, Colo. - Aug. 5, 2018 - PRLog -- Before Peter H. Dominick represented Colorado as a congressman and senator, and later the United States as ambassador to Switzerland, he was a decorated World War II pilot who was one of the lucky few to survive multiple missions flying supplies over the Himalayas. Dominick's family was unaware of many of his war experiences until the discovery of a diary long after his death, now available in the new book, Flying the Hump: The War Diary of Peter H. Dominick, (M&B Global Solutions Inc.)

Dominick's diary reveals his musings and recollections of the life-and-death stresses involved with flying supplies over the treacherous Himalayas, along with a thrilling short story based on his experiences. Dominick's son, Alexander S. Dominick contributes an introduction and afterword that sheds additional light on the elder Dominick's life journey and the challenges of growing up with a father dedicated to public service.

"Flying the Hump" over the Himalayas during World War II meant risking your life in often-dilapidated planes while transporting crucial supplies to Allied forces fighting the Japanese in the China/Burma/India Theater. Dominick was one of the lucky few to survive "The Aluminum Trail," so called because of the number of aircraft that crashed along the perilous route.

Flying the Hump: The War Diary of Peter H. Dominick, is available on Amazon in paperback and digital formats at https://amzn.to/2KmwEa9.
