Used. Hardcover. Stephen E. Ambrose turns his signature storytelling lens from the trenches to the stratosphere, tracing the perilous paths of the young aviators who piloted B-24 liberators through the most brutal skies of the Second World War. You will follow these gritty, grease-stained flyboys from rigorous stateside training straight into the heart-pounding flak over occupied Europe, experiencing the claustrophobic terror of combat alongside future leaders like George McGovern. It is a high-flying tribute to comradeship and courage that thankfully spares you the frostbite and engine failure while delivering all the white-knuckle tension. Drop into our history section and grab a copy before these brave boys truly take off.
