Product description...

In World War II, the Eighth Air Force sent up thousands of men into the skies over Fortress Europe. Stories have been written about the fighter pilots who took on the mighty Luftwaffe one on one. And many stories are about the pilots, gunners, and bombardiers who manned the bombers that flew their missions through the flak filled skies. This book is the story of a man who served with the 91st Bomb Group, and who was like the other men who found their lives and their worlds changed by the greatest conflict in world history. His story, and stories of other airmen and ground crew personnel, are brought to life with the aid of over 100 photographs from WWII. *************In reading this book, life with the 91st Bomb Group is relived as the author walks in his father’s footsteps. The author, the son of a B-17 radio operator, has paid tribute to his father in this well researched, well illustrated, and well written tale of his dad’s tour of duty with the Mighty Eighth”. A must read for every B-17 and World War II buff! (Martin Garrin, Jr., 410th Bomb Squadron, 94th Bomb Group, Captain/Pilot of the “Spirit of Valley Forge”.) ******* A well written story of life in the Eighth Air Force. Mike has expertly blended historical and technical information with his father’s story and those of other veterans of the air war over Europe. The numerous photos included from the WWII time period allow the reader to become part of the story, to experience life on the base, and life in the air with the bomber crews. (Ron Hagen, History Major, BS Oregon State University)
