Description

Stephen E. Ambrose (au). Stephen Ambrose is the acknowledged dean of the historians of World War II in Europe. Here, he tells the story of the very young men, stationed in Italy, who flew the B-24s over Germany in World War II against terrible odds, recounting their extraordinary brand of heroism, skill, daring, & comradeship. Ambrose describes how the Army Air Forces recruited, trained, & then chose those few who would undertake the most demanding & dangerous jobs in the war. These are the boys -- turned pilots, bombardiers, navigators, & gunners of the B-24s -- who suffered over 50% casualties. Ambrose has a remarkable gift for bringing alive the action & tension of combat. B&W photos.
