The true story of Roland and Rodney Paulson, identical twins, for whom the Skunk River Valley near, Ames, Iowa, served as a basic haven of security. Not close with their siblings, their school years were spent as "two against the world." As the Great Depression gave way to World War II, the Skunk Valley philosophy went with them into the Air Force. As members of the same crew on the B-17 FUBAR, they became possibly the only twins to get away with shared combat after the military's Sullivan Rule went into effect.
