Hi All,
I have just finished reading "THE WILD BLUE" by Dr. Stephen E. Ambrose, and would highly recommend it anybody interested in historical aviation.
The story is about the men and boys who flew the B-24s over Germany. The story follows the experiences of George McGovern of South Dakota, but I would say that this is much more than a story, this is a collection of history gathered by Stephen through interviews and reminiscences with the pilots the crews of the B-24. The history follows the boys from their lives at college and in their small towns to their training camps through to their bases in Europe and eventually their bombing missions.
Anyway, a highly riveting read, and yet another fine book from this fantastic Author.
