This book is a collection of a few dozen short stories written in 1941 describing acts of adventure, kindness and heroism by amateur radio operators in the 1930s. Some example plots include helping during a midwestern flood, support of Arctic exploration and creation of a life long friendship half way around the world. Call me a sap but some of these stories brought real tears to my eyes. The author claims these stories are all true. I have no first hand knowledge either way but regardless the writing is excellent and a joy to experience. Highly recommended to anyone who wants some uplifting stories all with a ham radio theme.
