On September 6; 1943; three hundred and thirtyeight B-17 "Flying Fortresses" of the American Eighth Air Force took off from England; bound for Stuttgart; Germany; to bomb Nazi weapons factories.Dense clouds obscured the targets; and one commander's critical decision to circle three times through heavy fire would prove disastrous. Forty-five planes went down that day; and hundreds of men were lost or missing.Sharing the first-person accounts of six of the B-17 airmen; award- winning author Robert J. Mrazek vividly re-creates the fierce air battle-and reveals the astonishing valor of the airmen who survived being shot down; and the tragic fate of those who did not.

As the daughter's of a WWII Army Air Force Radio Mechanic Gunner who has attended a reunion of veterans of the 398th Bomb Group; 8th Air Force; and who has a younger brother who always said from the time he could speak that he had flown all the missions with our Dad on his B-17; it was a fulfilling and compelling true story.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Soul SurvivorBy MjhatchI also believe in reincarnation....I was hold captive reading James' story...or should I say his soul's story....we all want to know; but are afraid to know...each life is such an adventure!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. wonderful story and required reading.By Kevin A. PattersonI can't imagine what toll this journey must have taken on Them; but I'm glad they shared it with us.As a Christian; I also struggle with the belief of reincarnation and being a bit of a skeptic doesn't help.With so many reincarnation books being so new agey with talk of spirit guides and such; this story is so refreshing.I'm a cross between the two parents and this book speaks to me more than other stories I have read.The idea of past lives is Scary yet exciting; and this book is pretty much required reading for those with any interest in it.
