Description:
In The Wild Blue, Ambrose describes how the Air Force recruited, trained, and then chose the few who would undertake the most demanding and dangerous jobs in the war. These are the boys turned pilots, bombardiers, navigators, and gunners of the B24's, who suffered 50 percent causalities. With his extraordinary talent for bringing alive the action and tension of combat, Ambrose takes us along in the B24's as their crews fought to the death to reach their targets and destroy the German war machine. Twenty-two-year-old George McGovern flew thirty-five missions and won the Distinguished Flying Cross.
Expand description
The Wild Blue will be published simultaneously with the Dreamworks/HBO ten-part series, Band of Brothers, based on Ambrose's bestselling account of Easy Company on its journey from training camps in England to Hitler's headquarters.
