Dennis Vachon – Unfaltering Courage: The Diaries of TSGt. Raymond Vachon 

The Diaries of TSgt. Raymond Vachon, a World War II Army Air Corps Flight Engineer and B-24 Top Turret Gunner in the Mediterranean Theater

Diaries, historical photos, and the author’s artwork tell the gripping story of Raymond Vachon’s experience surviving 50 bombing missions in the war-torn skies of Europe during World War II.

Dennis Vachon, Ray Vachon’s middle child, graduated from the University of New Hampshire, served in the Peace Corps in Senegal, and practiced law in New Hampshire for thirty years. He served ten years in the New Hampshire Legislature. A self-taught artist, Dennis has been painting since his mom bought him a Paint By Numbers set of religious icons when he was ten. He lives in Strafford, New Hampshire, with his wife Jane.
