Product Description

 
Historian Ambrose evokes what it was like to be in a B-24 as pilot, gunner, bombardier, or navigator, as these planes flew missions over German territory during World War II. He chronicles their training and assesses their contribution to the Allied victory--which was often at great cost to these freedom-loving men who made a difference. Much of the book focuses on pilot George S. McGovern, who was later to be the 1972 Democratic presidential candidate. A New York Times Notable Book for 2001.

The Wild Blue: The Skies Over Europe

Date of Review:  Nov 24, 2002
The Bottom Line: Read this the next time you're complaining about the airlines, and remember.
Review: The place you read Stephen Ambrose's new book, The Wild Blue: The Men and Boys Who Flew The B-24s Over Germany, is on an airplane, a comfortable passenger jet, say, a Delta 737, built with care and precision by the Boeing folks in their picturesque...

A BEAUTIFUL VIEW OF THE WILD BLUE

Date of Review:  Apr 3, 2002
The Bottom Line: Ambrose does it again. This is the story of the 15th Air Force and its pilots and crews who shortened the war.
Review: Being in the first class of Baby Boomers, I have a special feeling about those members of the previous generations who fought and defeated the totalitarian states of Germany, Japan and Italy in WWII. My father was a Sergeant Major in the Signal...

The true story of the B-24 Liberators and their crews in WWII

Date of Review:  Dec 12, 2003
The Bottom Line: Worth reading. The fact that George McGovern is a former B-24 pilot has been widely forgotten.
Review: When most people think of the American strategic bombing offensive against Germany during World War II, usually they see in their imagination the graceful lines of the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortresses of the Eighth Air Force. Hollywood epics such as...
