Description:
The Man Who Flew The Memphis Belle is the story of America in the 20th Century -- a story of a young boy living a storybook life, as his family is friends of the Vanderbilts in the Roaring '20s. Then the Depression hits, and life changes dramatically for them. But it is not the change in financial matters that hits young Robert Morgan the most -- it is the suicide of his beloved mother, upon learning that she has inoperable cancer. Morgan's life changes from one of a carefree rake to a man searching for meaning, desperate for companionship. He finds that meaning aloft at the controls of an airplane, and his skill and dedication take him to hotly contested skies over Europe. It is the personal telling of a seemingly well-known story -- the story of the famed B-17 Flying Fortress Memphis Belle -- but it is also the story of Morgan's relationship over the years with the real Memphis belle -- Margaret Polk. It is a story of romance, of great sadness, of heroic deeds, and of previously untold tales -- Morgan's harrowing Pacific theatre experiences bombing a desperate Japan in 1944 and 1945, and his life after the war. It is a gripping read that sends chills down your spine and tears to your eyes.
