My Father's Secrets is a compelling memoir of a child raised in an Air Force military family living through the Korean War, the Cold War, and into the Vietnam Era. Her father had been in WWII as a P-38 pilot and then a POW; his career would span three wars as a fighter pilot.
As the daughter of a career Air Force pilot, world events would come to dictate her life. She never knew where she would live next. She was the "kid from nowhere and everywhere."
Marilyn Johansen grew up in the front row of history. In My Father's Secrets, she tells the fascinating story of her family's struggles and joys, as well as her father's hidden intelligence gathering activities during reconnaissance flights and secret missions. Theirs was an "invisible" military family, living in far-flung locales across the world, always aware that the quality of their lives came second to the importance of protecting the United States - whether during wartime or peacetime.
