SynopsisOn an early morning in the fall of 1942, Kemp McLaughlin's group set out for a raid on a French target. Immediately after dropping its bombs, McLaughlin's plane was hit. A huge fire burned a four-foot hole in his wing, his waist gunner bailed out, his radio operator was wounded, the plane lost all oxygen, and his pilot put on a parachute and sat on the escape hatch, waiting for the plane to explode. And this was only McLaughlin's first sortie., This memoir - written by a group leader in the United States Air Force during World War II - offers an insight into US bombing runs against Nazi Germany, the management of personnel, armament crews and pre-flight briefings.
