On August 1, 1943, an enormous armada of
America B-24 Liberator bombers roared at nearly treetop level over
the peaceful farms and villages of Romania. This mission was
Operation Tidal Wave. Its target—“the taproot of German might,”
Hitler’s giant oil refineries at Ploesti. Hundreds of U.S. airmen
had volunteered for the mission despite warnings that half might
not return. In thirty minutes, more firepower was exchanged than in
two Gettysburgs, and five men earned the Medal of Honor. Ploesti
presents a vivid reconstruction of a dramatic and controversial
mission. |
