The bomber boys heroes who flew the B-17s in World War II Cover Image Large Print Book

The bomber boys [large print] : heroes who flew the B-17s in World War II / by Travis L. Ayres.

Ayres, Travis L. (Author).

Summary:

In World War II, no theater of operations was more dangerous than the skies above Nazi-occupied Europe. This is a collection of previously untold personal accounts of combat and camaraderie aboard the B-17 bombers that flew countless sorties against the enemy, as related by the men who lived and fought in the air - and survived. They are stories of heroism, sacrifice, miraculous survival, and merciless warfare. And they should all be remembered.
