A bombardier's story of serving in the skies over Europe-and surviving in a POW camp-as told through his correspondence with his Ohio family.
On his twenty-sixth horrifying mission over the hostile skies of Nazi Europe, a charismatic bombardier, seated at the nose of a B-17, strapped on his parachute as his disintegrating bomber dropped uncontrollably to the ground. What got him to this point, the ensuing months behind barbed wire, and his daily letters written to his family in Akron, Ohio, makes for an emotionally intense memoir.
This is the true account of a single individual who represents the countless unsung warriors of the greatest generation during World War II.
