Veteran Montana journalist Dennis Gaub will discuss his 2019 book, “Midway Bravery – The Story of the U.S. Army Pilot Whose Famed Flight Helped Win a Decisive World War II Battle,” on Thursday, Sept. 1, in Helena.
The event is scheduled at 4:30 p.m. at the Montana Historical Society. Copies of the book will be available for signing by the author at the society bookstore.
Gaub’s book tells the true story of Jim Muri, a Rosebud County-born man, whose flight in a B-26, twin-engine bomber in the opening hours of the Battle of Midway became legendary. Muri, pilot of a plane nicknamed “Susie-Q,” the same as his wife, Alice, buzzed the deck of the Japanese carrier Akagi in a impromptu move that saved his life and that of the seven other Army Air Force men on the plane.
Gaub, a Glendive native, was a newspaper reporter for 25 years, 20 of them at the Billings Gazette. He also was a reporter and editor for newspapers in Colorado, Wyoming and Michigan.
Gaub changed careers and went into the software industry. He retired in 2017 and has since been a full-time book author. He has two other published books — “Win ‘Em All — Little Laurel Wins Montana’s Biggest Basketball Trophy” (2016) and “Sky Dreamer” (2019) — and has a book in progress, “Lindbergh in Montana,” scheduled for publication in late 2022. He lives in Billings.
