This is a love story. An exploration of hundreds of war-time letters written daily between my Grandfather, James Crosby and my Grandmother, Virginia Gardner between 1942-1945. She was at home in Cincinnati, Ohio and he was in the Army Air Corps. Based on preliminary research I believe this compilation to be one of the largest collections of daily letters between lovers to survive the war. Join me as we read them for the first time together.
