Summary
Details

Wings of Faith: A Vietnam Veteran's Journey Through War, Survival, and God's Calling by Col. David O. Scheiding,

USAF (Ret.) is an inspiring memoir of courage, calling, and the kind of inner strength that carries a person through life's hardest battles, both in the sky and within the heart. With vivid detail and heartfelt honesty, Col. Scheiding takes readers from his humble beginnings in Marshalltown, Iowa, into the life-shaping lessons of faith, family, and perseverance that prepared him for an extraordinary journey. His story is deeply personal and powerfully relatable, reminding us that even the most difficult seasons can hold a greater purpose.

Bookwrights House is proud to share this remarkable true story with readers everywhere because this isn't simply a military memoir, it's a testament to what becomes possible when conviction meets resilience. Col. Scheiding's path unfolds through aerospace engineering studies, ROTC training, and the steady commitment that led him into aviation and service, all grounded in a belief that God was guiding each step. He writes not just as a veteran and pilot, but as a man reflecting on the moments that shaped his character, including the enduring love and support of his wife, Jan.

At the heart of the book are his Vietnam experiences as a Forward Air Controller flying the O-2A - an aircraft as exposed as the missions were intense. Through danger, uncertainty, and sacrifice, Col. Scheiding reveals the bond between servicemen and the sustaining power of faith when survival feels impossible. Uplifting, unforgettable, and deeply moving, Wings of Faith is a story readers can discover now through major online retailers, an essential read for veterans, history lovers, and anyone seeking hope, strength, and purpose.
