Very good read. Truly enjoyed it as it gave first hand accounts of WWII.

Author Travis L. Ayers has gathered a collection of previously untold personal accounts of combat and camaraderie aboard the B-17 bombers that flew countless sorties against the enemy, as related by the men who lived and fought in the air-- and survived. They are stories of heroism, sacrifice, miraculous survival, and merciless warfare. They should all be remembered. One of the men, Peter (Scott) Seniawsky, Waist Gunner, 384th Bomb Group says: I have waited sixty-plus years to have my WW II exploits accurately recorded. Mr. Ayres's splendid work...has told it well and gotten it right! I applaud his tenacity.
