riveting account written by a man who was a 26-year-old B-29 flight crew commander during the late stages of World War II, this book takes you along on bombing missions over Japan; on POW supply drop missions; and on his fateful August 6, 1945, mission when he was forced to ditch his aircraft into the sea. It's a fascinating, up-close look at America's first real use of strategic air power and the men who carried it out.
