In September 1941, Louie was drafted and eventually assigned to the Army Air Corps. Part II: LouieвЂ™s Military Career as a BombardierД¬hapters 6вЂ“11 relate the beginnings of LouieвЂ™s WWII career in the American military. However, when WWII started, Louie found himself training to be a bombardier in the Army Air Corps of the United States instead of training to be a track star. He competed alongside Jesse Owens in the 1936 Olympics in Germany and planned to compete again in the 1940 Olympics scheduled for Tokyo, Japan. Nicknamed the вЂњTorrance Tornado,вЂќ he became a high school phenomenon and eventually earned a spot on the U.S. Louie excelled and soon gave up his delinquent exploits in favor of running circles around a track. Seeing LouieвЂ™s talent for running away after a crime, Pete forced Louie to join the track-and-field team at school. Pete, LouieвЂ™s older brother, became concerned. He ran small scams and vandalized property.

He stole anything he wanted-mostly food, money, and whatever else he could find. He started smoking when he was 5 years old and drinking when he was 8. Growing up in Torrance amidst poverty and anti-Italian bias, Louie got in the habit of running outside the law. Born in 1917, Louie Zamperini was the child of Italian immigrants.
