Hitchhiking USA, A Story

A coming of age story about a young airman who travels back and forth across the USA on his thumb. A Walter Mitty type story filled with interesting characters and events. Placed in a time when military people found it easy to catch a ride our hero seems to find himself riding with people who are not necessarily average Joes. Some of the story is based on a real event but it's hard to tell in places what is real and what isn't. A short book but a fun read.
