Download Combat Crew: The Story of 25 Combat Missions over Europe from the Daily Journal of a B-17 Gunner AudioBook Free
John Comer placed a journal of the 25 missions he flew in 1943, when the casualty rate on his basic was near 80 percent. His book is handwritten background, recorded within hours after the battles took place. Comer vividly creates his activities as top-turret gunner/trip engineer in a B-17 squadron that was tossed up against the best pilots the Luftwaffe could offer. In 1943 the military air force got no long-range fighters to safeguard the B-17s as they flew deep into enemy territory. Immediate, straightforward, and persuasive, Combat Team is a vintage of aerial warfare.
