Synopsis
Historic fiction, this novel follows a B-17 crew through WWII. It depicts their humor, despair, fear and courage while flying mission after mission, their friendships brutally "scrubbed" by mounting casualties. You'll taste the terror of flying each mission through heavy black barrages of flak and flame, bearing wounded or dead buddies. Praised for its "gutsy realism," its "stoic humor and crusty humanity," this book transports the reader into the very belly of the Flying Fortress, as its bombs rain on * Germany and its young crew learns the real meaning of war.

From the Author
Thanks to all those who have written to me about the book.
This is a good place to express my gratitude for the many letters and comments I've received since the book was published. While most came from those who had a parent or favorite uncle who climbed up in the wild blue yonder in WWII, a surprising number were from college kids and others who I guess had just seen Saving Private Ryan. Anyway, I'm grateful to all for the mini- and maxi-reviews, the probing insights, the one liners, the wonderful questions, and I promise to reply to any and all further messages via E-mail sampert@aol.com
