The Pelican Squadron
It’s the early 1940s, and America suddenly finds itself engaged in World War II. As the nation readies for war, a small beach community is asked to join the battle. When it receives word from Washington, DC that a German U-boat has been tracked offshore, regular people step up for nightly foot patrols. It’s a daunting task, but they are all that stands between America and the Nazis. Little do they know they aren’t “fighting” this battle by themselves. Long admired for their graceful flight, the pelicans of the Outer Banks will forever be remembered for the special part they played in protecting its shores and way of life. Set in the beautiful and historic town of Nags Head, North Carolina, The Pelican Squadron provides young readers with an exciting and educational glimpse into the tumultuous landscape of World War II through the lens of some very unusual winged warriors.
