CrawfordInStock/Audiolibros/<p>The stories in this book reflect the dedication of the B-17 crews fighting a losing battle in 1943 and 1944. The politicians and military leaders soon realized that to gain air superiority it would simply be a battle of attrition. The misions to bomb the German industrial targets were dreaded by the crews. After only a few missions there were more replacement crews than original flyers on base. it was obvious to all the flyers that they were not going to make their twenty-five missions and get a free ticket home. UInknown to the rookie cres were thousands of flak guns awaiting the B-17s march into German airspace. There they would also face the deadly German fighter Gruppes intent on destroying any enemy airplane flying over the Fatherland. The Focke Wulfe and Messerschmitt fighters were piloted by socres and scores of aces. The young Germans who mentored the experienced pilots were extremely aggressive, desiring a mvictory over a B-17. The uinfortuantate crewmembers of a B-17 wqere those who were hit by flak or their bomb load wass struck by flak. Additionally, there was always the possibhiloityh of being hit by the exploding shells from an attacking fighter.
