Chet Wallace

Two Wings and a Star Chet Wallace

Chester Baudoin was a top-notch Louisiana Sheriff in St. Mary Parish from 1964 to 1984. He was responsible for inventing the barrier that separates the front and back seat of a patrol car and used flying extensively in the St. Mary Parish Sheriff's Department. Baudoin had a love of flying since he was a young boy and he went on to become a "hump" pilot in World War II and flew gasoline to Chennault's Flying Tigers over the Himalayan mountains. His story is told through his grandson, Chet Wallace, and many stories of his grandfather's flying stories and methods of law enforcement are told through him. The book is a fascinating read of a life of law enforcement and flight. Guaranteed to enthrall any reader and especially students of history, flying and law enforcement.
