The Bomber Boys: Heroes Who Flew the B-17s in World War II

Book Description

Secondhand. Good condition. Wear to book corners and edges. Significant foxing to foredges and endpages.

In World War II, there were all too many ways for a fighting man to die. But no theatre of operations offered more fatal choices than the skies above Nazi-occupied Europe. Inside a B-17 Bomber, thousands of feet above the earth, death was always a moment away. From the hellish storms of enemy flak and relentless strafing of Luftwaffe fighters, to mid-air collisions, mechanical failure, and simple bad luck, it’s a wonder any man would volunteer for such dangerous duty. But some very brave men did.

Some paid the ultimate price. Some made it home. But in the end, all would achieve victory. True tales of heroism and the men who fought and died in the skies of World War II Europe.
