: Hi All,
:
: I have just finished reading "THE WILD BLUE" by Dr. Stephe
: n E. Ambrose, and would highly recommend it anybody intere
: sted in historical aviation.
:
: The story is about the men and boys who flew the B-24s ove
: r Germany. The story follows the experiences of George McG
: overn of South Dakota, but I would say that this is much m
: ore 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 t
: heir training camps through to their bases in Europe and e
: ventually their bombing missions.
:
: Anyway, a highly riveting read, and yet another fine book
: from this fantastic Author.
