50 Mission Crush

As an avid seeker of WWII info, especially regarding the USAAF heavy bomber air bases in southern Italy, this book puts you there. Written by a B-24 crewmember who lived to tell about the experience of surviving in a time when 70 percent did not, it is an excellent account of the day to day life in one of America's most trying times.

Insight into my fathers service in wwII

My father was a top terret gunner in the B-24 in the 15th airforce 449 bomber group stationed in Grottalie, Italy. He spoke very little about the war. This book gave an insight into what my father life was like durning his 55 missions. It was a great book for my family.

Excellent tale of of one man's experience in WW II.

I found the book to be very clear from start to finish. The description from his very first days of training to his last day of battle was very descriptive and could fullfill the reader to a true sence of what the author experienced. Although not shockingly descriptive to the true sence of what men in his position experienced, the book still makes good reading for those who wish to know of life as a member of a bomber crew.
