WING AND A PRAYER by Harry H Crosby
A dramatic and moving story, 'A Wing And A Prayer' vivdly evokes the harrowing missions the US Eight Air Force undertook in runs over North Africa, East Germany and Russia. Descriptions of the horrendous losses during a flight over Bremen, a terrifying hairbreadth escape from German anti-aircraft flak and fighter defences and of the difficult personal trauma of flying in constantly dangerous circumstances. Whether you are an historian, a flying buff or simply someone who enjoys a good story well told, this is the book for you. And it's all true.
Harry H Crosby was the navigator on a B-17 Flying Fortress, arriving with the first units operating out of an English air base in the spring of 1943. He was one of the few survivors of a legendary group of men, and stayed until the war ended two years later.
