To Major General. Wm. E. Kepner;

The last C. G. of the immortal
"8th", in the E.T.O; one of the
"Frank Savages" of the Air Force, whose
record in World War II might
well be the subject of a similar
book.
With my deep admiration
   Sy Bartlett.

To General Kepner
   with many thanks for
your courtesy and cooperation
at Egland Field. It's been
a privelege to be here.

   Gregory Peck
