Missions In The Sky Of Europe: An Account Of Surviving Deadly Battles

Reading storybooks by authors who were once soldiers in the Second World War is probably the best way to find out about what it was like in the war. Grab a copy today to follow the author - a pilot with lots of experiences from dangerous battlegrounds, facing death every day.
This book is a remarkable, first-hand account of the harrowing air war in Europe as told by the author - a WW2 flight navigator and bombardier, in his letters home during the conflict, from 1944-45. With guts, wit, and grace, the author records his experiences with the daring "Koltun crew," which flew 30 missions over Europe. Through numerous strokes of fate, the crew survived a run of missions with the "bloody" 492nd Bomb Group, a unit that endured an 80 percent casualty rate as the men faced down the seemingly unstoppable German Luftwaffe.
