Descriptionof The Soft Mud of France
Manufacturer

This is the story of First Lieutenant William H. Vail, an aviator with the U.S. Air Service 95th Aero Squadron in World War I. On November 6, 1918, Bill Vail met his rendezvous with destiny in the skies of France. That day, Bill flew a voluntary patrol with a fellow pilot who unwittingly flew into a swarm of nine German adversaries. Lt. Vail witnessed the trap being set and sought to alert his comrade - to no avail. When he could have retreated with no censure, Bill diverted the Germans attention to himself, allowing his fellow pilot to escape unharmed. One incredibly brave man confronted the nine - alone. Odds of nine to one were not odds. They were a death sentence.

The ensuing combat with nine German aviators is among the last acts of bravery during the Great War.
