After being wounded early in 1945 reesulting in one foot being paralysed and the other partially paralysed, Sam Jones spent nearly one and a half years recovering in hospitals. Being unable to return to farming, he retrained asan electronics engineer. During the Vietnam War he managed the technical portion of the civil/military air traffic control system before going on to, among other things, being project engineer installing a mjor aviation communication project for South American, being Chief of the FAA Air Navigation Engineering Branch in Washington DC and working in telecommunications for a UN organization in Botswana. During this time he had ongoing health problems, physical and mental, resulting from his war service. A friend suggested that he write down his experiences in an effort to help get past them and, after finding this helpful, Sam decided to continue with his memoirs for the benefit of his family and because he realized that his generation were gradually dying and that their experiences were not often being recorded for posterity.
