“Midnight Flyboys is absorbing and filled with details I hadn't before encountered about the partnership between American airmen, Allied spies, and the French resistance. This story of an important moment in world history has much resonance for the time we are living in.” —MICHAEL BESCHLOSS, New York Times bestselling author of Presidents of War and The Conquerors    “Prize-winning historian Bruce Henderson brings the little-known story of the Carpetbaggers vividly to life by focusing not only on the bomber pilots and their crews, but also on the secret agents—men and women—who parachuted from those planes into Nazi-occupied France in the months before and after D-Day. Their harrowing adventures constitute a tense, gripping narrative."" —CRAIG L. SYMONDS, author of Annapolis Goes to War and World War II at Sea  “As a military pilot who flew four-engine aircraft, I'm in awe of these intrepid aviators and their crews. Henderson perfectly captures their remarkable flying abilities; every detail rings true. A moving and gripping read.""  —MICHELLE JOHNSON, Lieutenant General USAF (Retired)  ""An exciting recounting of one of the most secretive and dangerous operations of World War II.” —COLIN D. HEATON, author of The Star of Africa and Above the Reich
