About this product
Product Information
"A compelling account of the air war against Germany" written by the navigator portrayed by Anthony Boyle in Apple TV's Masters of the Air ( Publishers Weekly ). They began operations out of England in the spring of '43. They flew their Flying Fortresses almost daily against strategic targets in Europe in the name of freedom. Their astonishing courage and appalling losses earned them the name that resounds in the annals of aerial warfare and made the "Bloody Hundredth" a legend. Harry H. Crosby--depicted in the miniseries Masters of the Air developed by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg--arrived with the very first crews, and left with the very last. After dealing with his fear and gaining in skill and confidence, he was promoted to Group Navigator, surviving hairbreadth escapes and eluding death while leading thirty-seven missions, some of them involving two thousand aircraft. Now, in a breathtaking and often humorous account, he takes us into the hearts and minds of these intrepid airmen to experience both the triumph and the white-knuckle terror of the war in the skies. "Affecting . . . A vivid account . . . Uncommonly thoughtful recollections that address the moral ambiguities of a great cause without in any way denigrating the selfless valor or camaraderie that helped ennoble it." -- Kirkus Reviews "Re-creates for us the sense of how it was when European skies were filled with noise and danger, when the fate of millions hung in the balance. An evocative and excellent memoir." -- Library Journal "The acrid stench of fear and cordite, the coal burning stoves, the heroics, the losses . . . This has to be the best memoir I have read, bar none." --George Hicks, director of the Airmen Memorial Museum

Despite a delay with the USPS holding onto it for a week in the same town where I live, it arrived in perfect shape. I really like how it was packaged in a stiff cardboard container - almost vacuum sealed and it kept the book in absolute crisp form. Excellent seller, transaction and product! Thank you!

As described... A+++ on shipping and price... C (and that's being generous) on time. If you have forever and a month of Sundays to wait around then by all means do so. The price was great and the seller communicated wonderfully and the item was packed well so it wasn't damaged during transit all A pluses in my book just took a little bit longer than I anticipated.
