An inspirational action packed, educational factual book of historical value. Depicts many miraculous escapes from crashed & burning aircraft, & stories of my crew while flying combat missions in the 15th Army Air Force out of Italy in 1944-45 on B-24 Liberators. It documents how the U.S.A. got into WW II (many secrets revealed) & how the 15th Army Air Force was organized & its operation. We were to bomb & destroy targets in twelve countries in what Winston Churchill called the "soft underbelly" of Axis Europe. It has a beautiful four-color jacket, depicting a furious air battle with the German Luftwaffe FW-190 fighters. A review by a B-24 pilot William C. Graff of the 8th A.F. states: "This is the book I wish I had written, those of us who flew the Liberator in combat have a special communion. Bob expressed the feeling each of us has experienced under fire in enemy skies. The smells, sounds & sights of war, concern for the loss of lives of non-combatants. Thanks, Bob, for writing "our" book. I recommend it to young & old, to "Vets," war buffs & collectors." It is a six by nine hardcover. Call or write for information to order, Robert H.
