Glamour Boys

The second book in The Boxcar Kid Series They were the "Glamour Boys," members of the elitist group of aircraft carrier fighter pilots who risked their lives and faced off as the first line of defense with America's enemies. Although everyone on board risked their lives to a degree, the glory heaped upon the flying Aces by every crewman eclipsed all adulation bestowed on those even of highest rank. The well being and needed resources of these death-defying daredevils stood paramount in every man's shared responsibility. This sequel chronicles the origin of Bucky Ellis' boyhood aspiration to be a pilot and the rocky road he must travel toward his goal, including the continuing chilling onslaughts inflicted by his nemesis, Crusher. His journey highlights Bucky's spiritual maturing and issues that try his faith throughout the series. Laced with intrusions of Crusher's vengeful activity, the story moves to a chilling confrontation between Bucky and his adversary.
