Annotation

These are true stories of airmen who didn't return from bombing missions over Europe. Many died in fiery crashes, while others became POWs. A few were captured and later escaped and some were shot in their parachutes. At home, families waited, often not knowing if a loved one survived. The stories are about the struggle to survive, so that blue star proudly hanging in the window at home wouldn't be replaced by a gold one. They are accounts of love, duty and courage. Some include information about those who aided the downed airmen. The author shares background history of how each story came to be, often with surprising revelations. Painstakingly researched, this book is a must read for anyone interested in 20th Century American history, particularly for those interested in WWII.
