The lives of two American families would inevitably change on December 7, 1941, when Pearl Harbor was attacked by the Empire of Japan. When President Roosevelt asked all young people to sign up in defense of their country, three brothers from the Perkins family and four from the Bouricius family joined the American armed forces. Perk was the pilot of a four engine, B-17 bomber, flying missions in Europe when the average life expectancy of a bomber crew was eleven missions. Nothing in the lives of thousands of young Americans could prepare them for the violence that was to come. This book brings to life the experiences of the two families during the seven years of World War II. Above and Beyond is a compelling story that tells of the triumphs and tragedies of both families, and how they worked and fought to defeat the enemy, who sought world domination.
