Beschreibung:
"McDonough brings such passionate perspective to this amazing and heretofore largely unknown story that it's nearly impossible to put down.">>This book presents an engrossing account of King's early life and wartime service as part of the 401st Bombardment Group, U.S. Eighth Air Force. As a child growing up in New York and Tennessee, he was thoroughly captivated by the young field of aviation and dreamed of becoming a pilot. Attending college when Pearl Harbor was attacked, he realized his boyhood ambition by enlisting as an Air Corps cadet. After completing flight training two years later, King and his crew flew a B-17 bomber across the Atlantic to join their fellow airmen at a base near the English village of Deenethorpe--doing their first battle not with German fighters but with a raging storm during the Greenland-to-Iceland leg of the journey.
