For the men of the Army Air Corps in early
World War II, the chance of surviving the obligatory twenty-five
missions without death, injury, or imprisonment was one in three.
In this groundbreaking book, Rob Morris has sought out remarkable
but little-known stories of the air war from the men who lived and
fought it. Based on hundreds of interviews with American veterans
and their families, Untold Valor illuminates the courage of airmen
whose exploits have until now remained untold. Read about Jewish
aviators experiences as POWs in German camps. Learn about American
airmen who were imprisoned, even killed, by the neutral Swiss and
about two Air Corps enlisted men who changed U.S. policy toward
liberated concentration camp survivors. Also discover the unusual
story of Luftwaffe commander Herman Goerings nephew, who flew B-17
missions against Germany. While some of the stories cover major
events, most are about incidents and individuals misrepresented or
overlooked by history books. Yet their efforts were vital, their
lives forever changed. Detailed and moving, Untold Valor is certain
to interest the serious air historian and the casual reader alike.
With a foreword by the editor of B'17s Over Berlin. |
