The "T-34 Mentor in Action" is my thirty-eighth book for SquadronSignal Publications. Although the T-34 cannotcompare to some of the warplanes that! have flown and wrote about, it holds a special place for me.My experience with the T-34 began during 1975. I started flying during 1964 and by 1969 I had logged some 550 hours in a variety oflight aircraft.
