    Synopsis
    In the bestselling BAND OF BROTHERS, Stephen E. Ambrose portrayed in vivid detail the experiences of soldiers who fought on the bloody battlegrounds of World War II. THE WILD BLUE brings to life another extraordinary band of brothers - the men who volunteered to join the American Air Force and undertook some of the most demanding and dangerous jobs in the war. Focusing on the men of the 741st Bomb Squadron and, in particular, the crew of the DAKOTA QUEEN, these are the boys turned pilots, bombardiers, navigators and gunners of the B24s, who suffered 50 per cent casualties during conflict. With his extraordinary talent for bringing alive the action and tension of combat, Ambrose sweeps us along in the B24s as their crews fought to the death to reach their targets and destroy the German war machine.

        Great story about a famous politician's war experiences

        This is the story of George McGovern's experiences flying B-24s during WWII. Great book, and it was Stephen Ambrose's last "real" book before dying of cancer in 2002. (His final book, To America, was a collection of short subjects about history and writing in general.) I saw the author speak locally in 2001 when the book was released and got a signed copy at the time, but it was lost in my divorce. It was good to replace it with this one!

        Let's you know what book is all about.

        It is a Stephen Ambrose book. Probably the best author re: WWII. You can learn a lot about WWII reading Ambrose.

        Nice book. Nothing damaged or missing; book shows some wear, but in really good shape.
