In Confessions of a Homing Pigeon, Nicholas Meyer tells the story of his life as a pigeon pilot during the Vietnam War. He vividly describes the challenges of flying in dangerous airspace, the camaraderie among the pilots, and the birds themselves-their curious nature, their remarkable ability to navigate, and their unique relationship to humans.

This beautifully written and highly entertaining book is a unique and fascinating look at the history and culture of pigeons, as well as the challenges of aerial warfare. It is an excellent read for anyone interested in history, aviation, or pigeons.; 8vo; $6.00.
