Book Synopsis

From Kevin Maurerthe #1 New York Times bestselling, award-winning coauthor of No Easy Daycomes the true story of a World War II bomber pilot who survived twenty-five missions in Damn Lucky, an epic, thrillingly written, utterly immersive account of a very lucky, incredible survivor of the war in the skies to defeat Hitler (New York Times bestselling author Alex Kershaw).

We were young citizen-soldiers, terribly naive and gullible about what we would be confronted with in the air war over Europe and the profound effect it would have upon every fiber of our being for the rest of our lives. We were all afraid, but it was beyond our power to quit. We volunteered for the service and, once trained and overseas, felt we had no choice but to fulfill the mission assigned. My hope is that this book honors the men with whom I served by telling the truth about what it took to climb into the cold blue and fight for our lives over and over again.
