SynopsisThe true story of a World War II air force navigator and his courageous peers in a bomb group that flew missions over Germany. The book describes the missions the author flew, accounts of life with the boisterous 100th and an evaluation of the strain of the constant exposure to death and danger.
The title is absolutely correct for the time period and the mission of WWII that it did on behalf of the world.
I got a used library book. The book arrived as it was described. It's a very compelling story about a subject that is dear to my heart about the 100th Bomb Group during WWII. I had a cousin who flew with the 100th the last 6 months of the war. I'm sure he knew the author on a first name basis.
