Description
In the bestselling Band of Brothers, Stephen E. Ambrose portrayed in vivid detail the experiences of soldiers who fought on the bloody battlegrounds of World War II. Wild Blue brings to life another extraordinary band of brothers -- the men who volunteered to join the American Air Force and undertook some of the most demanding and dangerous jobs in the war. Focusing on the men of the 741st Bomb Squadron and, in particular, the crew of the Dakota Queen, these are the boys turned pilots, bombardiers, navigators and gunners of the B-24s, who suffered 50 per cent casualties during conflict. With his extraordinary talent for bringing alive the action and tension of combat, Ambrose sweeps us along in the B-24s as their crews fought to the death to reach their targets and destroy the German war machine.
