From Doolittle's Raiders to low-level Thunderbolt pilots to the men who braved flak and fighters in their B-17s, Wolf Samuel effectively conveys the courage of America's World War II flyers. Told in their own words, their gripping stories of air combat remind us of the price our fellow citizens paid to secure our freedom. Wolf's book is both a tribute to the 'greatest generation' and a call to service to today's Americans. --Tom Jones, veteran astronaut, Air Force pilot, and author of Sky Walking: An Astronaut's Memoir
