Introduction

 

On the large, fascinating island of Madagascar there live a plethora of

peculiar and exotic animals. Two of those animals are lemurs and sifakas.

Both creatures are small, monkey-like, and categorized as lemurs.

Sifakas are slightly larger and are most at-home in the treetops. Most

lemur species, however, prefer to spend the majority of their time on the

rainforest floor.

 

Isaiah the Ring-tailed Lemur

Isaiah is a ring-tailed lemur who spends most of his time on the

rainforest floor. Ever since he was a young boy, Isaiah has enjoyed running

and jumping over organic obstacles, swinging through trees with a

single paw, and dodging the lurking fossae inhabiting his mind’s eye. He

enjoys playing many games with his lifelong friend, Slick. Isaiah grows

anxious when he’s alone, especially in tight situations. He attributes this

to early memories having been lost in the forest for two days without

seeing a single one of his kind.

 

Slick the Sifaka

Slick the Sifaka is a lot like most male Coquerel’s sifakas his age.

He forages in the morning and at night looking for food (starting with

the pantry!) When outside his treehouse, he is claiming territory by

spraying or scratching a tree leaving a rather distinct and, yes, putrid

scent mark.

Slick is able to jump 15 tail lengths through the trees. He doesn’t

hesitate to use his athletic abilities to sneak around and spy on other

creatures–including Isaiah. In fact, the two frequently compete to see

who can spy on the other the longest without getting caught. Once

caught, the winner decides a punishment, usually involving minor

punches to the shoulder or a swift calf kick to the leg.

Slick enjoys spying on everybody, including the fossa brothers,

Broosa and Toulousa, notorious thieves who made random appearances

in their neck of the woods every season. To date, Slick has only caught

mere glimpses of the two ruffians plotting together, but never actually

catching them redhanded. Naive to the consequences of a face-to-face

encounter with any fossa, let alone Broosa and Tolousa, young Slick still

entertained the fantasy of being the kid who caught the most famous

thieves ever to inhabit Madagascar.

Prologue


AUGUST 1979

HE BURIED HIS ring.

My mother had died two years earlier, when I was just a toddler, and her ring went with her—into the casket, into the ground. My dad had kept his ring on, worn it through those aching, unsteady months of early grief. But now he was getting married again. And we were at my mother’s gravesite. And he was burying his ring.

He slid it from his knuckle up to his fingertip and used it as a tool to dig a small hole in the ground before dropping the ring near my mother’s headstone in the rolling hills of the San Fernando Valley. Then he covered the ring with soil, patting the mound tenderly. I remember thinking that I should probably miss my mom more than I did, but I was only two when she died, so how could I? And I loved my dad with such intensity—and felt just as intensely loved back—that there wasn’t much room for sadness in my heart that day.

There was a softness to my mom that I’ll never forget. A tall, quiet, weepy gentleness. If I closed my eyes tight, I could conjure a rippling image of a swimming pool, her arms around me as we floated. Tighter, and I saw a small kitchen. Broken dishes and blood everywhere.

I remember much less about my mother than I do about the diner we went to after my dad buried his ring. It was here, over a plate of pancakes and bacon, that I first heard the numbers 6-6-6.

“Something’s gonna happen,” my dad said, “but I hope not in your lifetime.”

He set his cup of coffee on the Formica tabletop and held my gaze. I knew he had something important to tell me. He said something about revelations, something I didn’t really understand, and that our mom had known the world was ending. Now he knew it, too. Computers, microchipping, salvation.

“People are going to be buying and selling things with computers, but only if they have the mark of the beast. And I will not ever take the mark of the beast. If I have to live on the side of the road, I will. And I won’t let it happen to you.”

I was only four. A beast, to me, was something under the bed. Something inside the closet. Something dangerous and snarling that could take my father away from me. Something terrible that might have taken my mother.

That night, I started praying fervently. And I never stopped.

Don’t let my daddy die. Don’t let the world end.

Please don’t let him take my daddy too.

an invitation that beckons to every one of us.

A B-24 Pilot’s Letters Home

 

Memoir/WWII History

Date Published: May 27, 2025

Publisher: Acorn Publishing

 

 

In this posthumously published collection of letters and postal cards,
William “Bill” Hanchett shares his candid experiences as a
flight-school cadet, and later as an Army Air Forces pilot in command of a
B-24 Liberator bomber during World War II.

Through Bill’s first-hand accounts, we learn that mastering the art
of flying during wartime is about more than understanding engine throttle
and airspeed. It’s about wondering when you’ll be called to
fight and if you’ll be asked to betray your ideals. It’s about
working hard and documenting the days, dreaming about the future, and
longing for home.

An extraordinary primary document, Disgracefully Easy offers us a rare
glimpse inside the military in the 1940s, a time when Americans worried
about the fate of their great country and looked to the brave and courageous
to deliver them from fear. This unique collection will be long remembered as
an important addition to the annals of aviation history.

Disgracefully Easy: A B-24 Pilot’s Letters Home

BOOK EXCERPTS

From the Introduction (747 words)

Before William (Bill) Hanchett became a professor of American History and an authority on the assassination of President Abraham Lincoln, my father served as a B-24 four-engine heavy bomber pilot in the U.S. Army Air Forces (AAF) during World War II. This book is a selection of his correspondence written during the war era. The total correspondence consisted of 206 letters and 98 postal cards written from the late 1930s to December 1945. The correspondence has been edited with an introduction to each group of letters.

The letters are divided by each phase of flight training, or flying school, as it was called during the war, to assignment as an instructor-pilot in BT-13 basic trainers, to transition to B-24 heavy bomber pilot training, and subsequent assignment to a B-24 training squadron at Tonopah Field, Nevada. The letters provide first-hand descriptions of flying different airplanes, from the PT-17 primary trainer bi-plane to the B-24 Liberator. All the chapters, except the first, which covers several years before Bill’s enlistment in the AAF, include his letters. 

The title Disgracefully Easy comes from a postal card my father wrote on August 19, 1945, ten days after the second atomic bomb was dropped on Nagasaki, Japan. Bill Hanchett indicated that his military service had been “disgracefully easy” when compared to other servicemen who had served in combat. This assessment reflects my father’s feeling at the end of the war and his awareness of the sacrifices of so many. Through his correspondence, Bill Hanchett tells another side of the history of World War II.  

My father kept B-24 flight manuals and booklets published by the U.S. Army Air Forces, describing all phases of flight training and the air fields where he trained. Through the years, dad told me about flying and about his experiences during the war. The discovery of the correspondence as he was dying, combined with his stories, the flight manuals and air field booklets, provided a trove of primary source material.

         In the fall of 1944, as he learned to fly the B-24, the correspondence also describes the critical election when President Franklin D. Roosevelt ran for a fourth term against Republican Governor Thomas E. Dewey. Bill’s father supported Dewey, but Bill supported and admired Roosevelt, “our greatest President,” he wrote. That year, Bill found his own political voice—separate from his father. The letters reflect a continuity in American politics and society, with politicians and writers stoking division and promoting controversial conspiracy theories and voter suppression, themes which resonate today.

The correspondence reflects a time when families communicated with each other through handwritten and typed correspondence, which was delivered via “snail mail”—long before email, text messaging or social media were even imagined. The letters are naturally written in language commonly used in the 1940s. The letters are a snapshot in time, of course specific to the Hanchetts, but they also reveal family experiences and situations during the war years that many will recognize and identify with on a personal level. 

            My father received frequent correspondence from his immediate and his extended family, but as service members do, Bill sometimes complained about the lack of mail from home. He especially enjoyed receiving cookies and other treats. The correspondence sent to my father from his family is unavailable, so we do not know exactly what he heard from home, but from his correspondence we can infer the other side of the “conversation.”       

            Throughout the correspondence, various family activities and family members and friends are mentioned, and through Bill’s comments and expressed opinions, the reader learns something about them and about him. In some of his letters, my father “lectures” his parents about various things, from politics and finances to even winding a new watch. Bill had a lot to say and at times every blank space on a page—front, back, top, bottom or side—were filled with questions or comments.

         Bill joined the U.S. Army Air Forces in October 1942. His correspondence tells the story of basic training in Miami Beach, drilling on a golf course, and his experience in a unique Army Air Forces College Training Detachment (CTD), program where aviation cadets attended college courses while waiting to enter flying school. This experience reinforced his interest in history. 

The story also includes some of the instructors and AAF officers who directed the training. Bill discusses them, not always by name, but by rank. End notes are included on several who were influential in his development as a pilot.

abroad in Italy, her entire world shifts. Survival becomes the focus of her
daily life, physical illness grabs control of her body, and no one can free
her from her pain. A ghost of herself, she takes the path of denial,

wife, but a traumatic diagnosis puts her at a crossroads. She must start
living the life she wants or roam her days as a victim in the chaos of fear.
Lenore’s escape through travel allows her to reconcile the
imprisonment she’s suffered over the years.

However, when another family tragedy strikes, Lenore understands she must
finally come to terms with the silence she’s kept. But what if one
incident that happened decades ago is too destructive, too deep to be
excavated? Will she be able to find herself in the rubble? Or will she be
lost forever?

Chapter 1: Innocence Adrift 

 

I was nineteen years old and on my way to a palace.

Walking to school in my red leather boots with a broken heel, I pondered my life in Italy, entangled with emotional, sexual, and geographic complications. Running into the parishioners flowing into Perugia’s San Lorenzo Cathedral for morning Mass, I recalled how Mom and Dad had always found sustenance in their faith. Maybe I feel so sad because I never ask God for help. 

Seeking solace, on an impulse, I entered the church to attend the service, though I’d be late for Italian class. Bundled up in a wool scarf and heavy coat, I entered the chilly and vast interior of the then 530-year-old Gothic cathedral under towering marble and stone arches. I joined other celebrants in a wooden pew and studied the massive altar inside a vaulted nave, illuminated by a morning sun pouring through stained-glass windows. 

Within the magnificence, I muffled my gravelly coughs, got down on my knees, and began to pray. I begged God for help, please, and awaited my answer. Within the cavernous stone expanse, no answers came in the dim amid the worshippers’ echoing voices. Why did my life turn out like this? All alone and living with a wound impossible to heal?  

Hunched in the church’s frigid air, I decided to skip Mass and left for school. 

Later that day, I wrote a letter home in my student pension room. I longed for more compassion from my parents, but I could never reveal the ugly turn my life had taken over the past two months. Instead, I wrote about my misconception that Perugia was like my hometown of Mill Valley, California. “There are dangers,” I wrote. I want to be able to recognize the dangers.”

I also noted, “I don’t feel good, but I don’t feel like giving up and coming back. There’s too much to learn . . . about me or how I’d act in certain situations. I don’t know whether this is clear or not. I hope you can see my meaning or what I’ve been through.”

No one wrote back for clarification. 

But my younger sister, Grace, picked up on something between the lines. In her letter, she wrote, “From your last letter to Mom, your tone seemed depressed about something. What is really going on with you? I really would like to know, maybe I can help. Please tell me.”

I never answered her question. I could never write down the words anyway.

***

Two months earlier, I had arrived in Perugia to study, leaving home for the first time to attend the Università Per Stranieri or the University for Foreigners. The plan was to study Italian, art, and culture for a year.

Free at last, I was learning to fly. But I didn’t have wings.

I was excited and nervous after leaving home for the first time. After landing in this Umbrian hill town, frustration knocked me. I couldn’t speak enough Italian to navigate daily life. Snotty salesgirls rolled their eyes as I stammered and searched for the right words. In restaurants, waiters presented me with a horrific slab of liver or horsemeat, and my mouth twisted in disgust before gagging. I didn’t order that, did I? 

Grabbing my dictionary, I began memorizing as many words as possible. 

Every day, things scrambled out of order. After opening a detergent bottle, the smell told me I had wasted money on bleach. The laundry I hung outside my window to dry in the morning became soaked by afternoon rains. I fought with ancient, poorly hung Italian doors and confusing locks, feeling lost and incompetent in a beautiful place. 

Italy the infuriating. Though unacclimated to living on my own, I could easily forgive my ancestral country as the afternoon sun burnished ornate buildings into gold, as I ate luscious food, rambled on cobblestone streets, or joined the townsfolk on traffic-free Corso Vannucci.

On my first day of class, I squeezed past Fiats parked with great anarchy along Via Ulissi Rocchi. Rubbing my eyes, I had awakened too early that September morning and couldn’t dress fast enough, my hands shaking with excitement.  

Amid buzzing mopeds and the Italian language filling my ears, my new leather backpack banging against my back, I swung down the narrow passage. An espresso machine hissed in a nearby café, and my nose caught the intoxicating scent of a bakery.  

I wanted to soak up every fabulous thing about my new Italian life. I marveled at the simplest details—a Fiat sign, a woman heaving her market basket, the bantering school kids. And I ached, wanting to share this beauty with everyone back home. 

Suddenly, a car zoomed too close, threatening to rub me against a rough stone wall—an Alfa Romeo squad car driven by a policeman. As I spun out of his way, my head just missed two dead rabbits hanging on hooks outside a butcher shop—an advertisement for today’s fresh meat. I smiled and shrugged without a care.

Chapter 1: Being Confident


 “I Have Confidence”

 

 Sung by Julie Andrews

 

We all have those moments of self-doubt, and thoughts of not being worthy or of value. That we are going through our daily activities as an imposter not truly knowing what we are doing or how we are achieving what we are. Not having the belief in ourselves to speak up and express how we truly feel. Moments of lack of courage in our convictions because we are uncertain of ourselves.

 

I can recall very vividly when I began my career as a lawyer many years ago in England, my self-doubts and total lack of confidence. I was fresh out of Law School and commenced my training with a law firm which I joined because it was created by the person I was articled to. I was truly thrown in at the deep end, having to work with clients in every aspect of the law. I had no trust in my ability, nor that I could be of any use and help to my clients.

 

This lack of self-belief, and that I was not up to the task or job, is nothing unusual. A survey by KPMG in 2020, Advancing the Future of Women in Business, for example, found that 75 per cent of 750 high-performing executive women who were one step away from being executive-level managers within a company, reported having personally experienced imposter syndrome at some point in their career.

 

This lack of confidence is not only associated with work. Think of all the times that you have wanted to ask someone out on a date or ask for a discount on a product that you so want to buy but cannot afford at exactly the price it is being sold for. Or when the food in the restaurant is not cooked the way you wanted it, but you do not have the courage to tell the waiter to take it back to the chef to cook the meat a little more.

 

On all of those occasions you do not believe in yourself to be able to speak up, and face possible rejection. You do not feel that you are good enough. You worry about what people think of you, and because you are concerned that they do not understand how you are feeling with no idea of what you are doing, you cannot ask for help.

 

Let’s go back to young Alicia, anxious, afraid, and feeling totally out of her depth as a fresh new lawyer. Without confidence and insecure. What could she do? She had to build on the experience of success. She should have considered what she had achieved – written down the successful client outcomes – and reflected on them rather than the mistakes. Even, viewed the mistakes as a successful way of learning and growing. Instead of being afraid of facing the client and feeling that she had to know everything, and be everything, she had to realise that she could say; “I will get back to you on that.” Giving her time to learn and develop her knowledge. Realising that sometimes we do not have the answers immediately. Knowing that when someone throws a ball at you, you do not have to catch it there and then. You can let it drop and pick it up when you feel able to do so.

 

Okay, so that building of confidence applied to my work situation. But you can apply the sentiment in all aspects of your lack of confidence.

 

YOU are unique. Even if you are an identical twin, you are still different, and YOU are special.

 

Much of my coaching and teaching is about my students feeling confident and raising their self-esteem so they can speak in public. To be able to talk in a meeting, give a presentation, handle an interview, or tell their story. Senior executives, world leaders, young people, older people, all share the same lack of confidence when it comes to talking to groups, or even one person when they have to share themselves in some way. I give them the tools and techniques to overcome their fears and to make them effective when they speak.

 

I think about students from many years ago contacting me now and through the years telling me how their lives were changed because of my training and teaching. Why? Because it was about them knowing and putting into action the realisation that whenever you speak or communicate, you are always in control of your communication. I never know what you are going to say, so I never know if you have made a mistake, unless you highlight it by apologising or fumbling.

 

Being confident is realising that you are in control of your narrative and your story. It is exactly that – yours. As soon as you believe in the gift of you, and share that with your audience, and the world, you can truly express yourself with power.

 

Indeed, your superpower is YOU! Every time you speak, or write, you are expressing your story, your take on events, your opinion and your beliefs. And I have the opportunity to learn from you, to get to know you and to grow with you. In those moments when you do not believe in yourself, I want to step into your power – the power of YOU. 

 

Step into your light and shine brightly to act as a beacon of light for me, and everyone, to bask in.

 

Step into being fabulous YOU, and share that with me, and everyone.

 

In my first book, Communicating Through Change, I ended each chapter with an Affirmation to help my readers literally affirm the guidance that I had given. The recommendation was to say these out loud to yourself every day. The response to this was very positive because it truly helped each person to help themselves with the knowledge shared.

 

So, here I go again to help YOU, dear member of Team Alicia.

 

Let’s go back to the wonderful song title referenced at the start of this chapter, which contains a line that reminds you, to trust in yourself.

 

Being Confident Affirmations

 

I trust myself.

I believe in me.

I am in control and in command.

I am confident.

I am being confident.
