Available Copies Details Synopsis

WARFARE & DEFENCE. "Fly, Cher Ami, Fly!" is the riveting story of a famous carrier pigeon during World War I who saved the lives of over 200 American soldiers. Cher Ami flew 25 miles in 25 minutes to deliver a message explaining where American soldiers were trapped so that they could be rescued from the Germans. The pigeon was hailed a hero of the 77th infantry division, received the French Croix de Guerre, he even received a prosthetic leg after he was injured, and is preserved in the Smithsonian. Robert McKenzie is an up-and-coming illustrator who brings this dramatic story to life.
