Download To Kingdom Come: An Epic Saga of Survival in the Air War Over Germany AudioBook Free
On September 6, 1943, 338 B-17 "Flying Fortresses" of the North american Eighth Air Power took off from England, bound for Stuttgart, Germany, to bomb Nazi weapons factories. Dense clouds obscured the targets, and one commander's critical decision to group three times over the city---and its dangerous flak---would prove devastating. Forty-five planes transpired that day, and a huge selection of men were lost or missing. Concentrating on first-person accounts of six of the B-17 airmen, award-winning creator Robert J. Mrazek vividly re-creates the brutal air fight and uncovers the astonishing valor of the airmen who survived being shot down---and the tragic destiny of those who did not.
