Author Event Ernest Snowden Thursday, April 4 at 6:30pm Winn Room 

Winged Brothers recounts the service exploits of two brothers, Ernest and Macon Snowden, through more than forty years of naval aviation history in both peace and war. They were             deeply committed to each other and to advancing their             chosen profession, but due to the vast difference in their ages and the fourteen years between their respective graduations from the U.S. Naval Academy, they experienced carrier           aviation from very different perspectives. Through personal           letters, official reports, first-hand accounts, and first-person             interviews, their symbiotic relationship is revealed to the reader.
