In the Great War, when fliers were still "knights of the air", Luke was an ungallant loner, a kid from Arizona who collected tarantulas, shot buzzards, and boxed miners.

This is a rare piece of Americana, told in as pure and compelling a voice from the vernacular heart of this country as you will ever hear.
