Surviving Victory: World War II Pilot, Actor, Sculptor, Writer

By Philip Vickers, edited by Barbara Vickers. SURVIVING VICTORY is all about survival in many forms.

Surviving an abusive father in the Oklahoma Dust Bowl during the Great Depression, surviving hazardous adventures in California and an attempt at the Merchant Marine all tested Sedona, Arizona scuptor, Philip (Bockman) Vicers' survival skills. But flying a Spitfire in 102 missions over Europe in World War II for the Royal Canadian Air Force was the ultimate survival test.

And yet, it was Surviving Victory that perplexed him the most.

But, he survived that victory and, with his name changed to a less Germanic "Vickers," he went on to an acting career in London, another career as a well known Southwestern sculptor and finally became the author of two books.

SURVIVING VICTORY was his last crowning achievement.
