They begin when sixteen-year-old Donnie gets caught up in the patriotic swirl of World War I. Enlisting in the U.S. Army, he becomes a pilot during the deadly days at the end of the fighting. The stakes in Donnie’s life are just as high after the war. He wrestles with wealthy investors and powerful politicians who have designs on his air delivery business. He is hired to drive a cab for an ambitious mobster and works at assorted dead-end jobs until he bumps into the man who taught him to fly, American ace Eddie Rickenbacker, and it changes his course. Later he befriends detainees in a Japanese internment camp, becomes enmeshed in labor struggles, and dodges McCarthy agents. During the Vietnam era, having seen enough war, Donnie helps several young men avoid the draft by flying them to Canada. Woven throughout Donnie’s adventures are the threads of a rich family life, and contentment even in times of travail. Dive deep into the heart and soul of a storyteller with Paul's interview on Dreamchasers Radio. 📻💬 His passion for history and knack for storytelling culminate in his novel, 'The Mini Adventures of Donnie Malone'. The book captures the essence of an era defined by change and struggle, told through the lens of a character who embodies the spirit of adventure and the complexity of human emotions. Paul's background as a historian enriches his fiction, making his work a treasure trove for readers who crave a story grounded in reality yet elevated by the power of imagination.
