Eight World War II Heroes - Tapa blanda

The eight brave men in this book are a sample of the numerous heroes of WWII. Their incredible stories of rescue, imprisonment life and death experiences read like fiction rather than the arresting facts of 1941 to 1945. You will read about Jack Hammett, Pearl Harbor survivor; Walt Drake P-38 and P-51 fighter pilot; Herb Guiness B-24 pilot and his rescue at sea; Bob Meyers, glider pilot and remarkable meeting with a German soldier in his foxhole. Then you will learn the dramatic story of George Emerson, tail gunner and his surviving months as a prisoner of war; Harry Selling, B-17 pilot and the three miracles that saved him; Ed Stapleton, B-17 pilot and his days in Stalag Luft III; and Ken Pruitt, pilot with a stuck landing gear and belly landing. Add to these stories are the connections of incidents going on at the same time on the ground and in the air.
