       TRAGEDY AND TRIUMPH: A PILOT'S LIFE THROUGH WAR AND PEACE

  Mr. PRYOR. Mr. President, I want to call the attention of my 
colleagues to a new book by a very brave Arkansan, James ``Paladin'' 
Fore. Written along with Larry Jacks, the book, ``Tragedy and Triumph: 
A Pilot's Life Through War and Peace,'' serves as both a biography and 
a history. In a very unique way, Jim writes about the horrific events 
he witnessed through a flying career of more than 40 years. I want to 
commend Jim for writing this fascinating book which follows him from 
World War II through the conflict in Southeast Asia accumulating more 
than 37,000 flying hours.
  As both a military and civilian pilot, Jim witnessed history in the 
making in over 100 countries. Mr. President, for a unique perspective 
on history through the eyes of a pilot, I highly recommend this book.
