There are not many World War II veterans like 95 year-old Manhattanite Ed Weisberger. With bittersweet humor he describes flying gliders into battle ("nobody bothered to tell us they were suicide missions"), the invasion of Nazi-occupied Holland ("there wasn't much to do there except dodge bullets"), and the invasion of Germany ("it was great until the Germans showed up").
