Harry Friedman is the gunner of the Macey May, an American Flying Fortress stationed in East Anglia. The Second World War is raging and the Nazis have swept over Europe. The crews of every Flying Fortress face terrible odds on their bombing missions.

WOW! This book is a corker of gutsy action adventure, especially good for anyone into the idea of flying!This book lands you slap bang in the middle of the Second World War and fighting with the allies, running bombing runs across Germany and occupied France. Harry and the crew of the Macy May find themselves up against it in one of the most perilous armed forces where one in five servicemen didn't return.As usual, Paul Dowswell's writing gives a clear vision through his character's eyes andReading this with Master Nine. Although a pretty good read it's a tad adult for him (some inappropriate language) and I'm finding it rather hard work to read aloud so we are abandoning about 1/2way through in search of something more rivteing. Might come back to this at a later date. Not nearly as captivating as David Hill's Brave Company - possibly as the US Bomber is not so relatable as the NZ history of NZ Naval Fleet?
Een boek vol actie wat iets heel knap heeft gedaan: ik zou graag eens een b-17 in het echt gaan zien. Fascinerend oogpunt, vanuit de buikschieter gelezen. Ik kan me direct voorstellen hoe dat gevoeld moet hebben in zo'n bol. Ben blij dat ik daar nu meer over weet. Ik had wel wat moeite met de binding met de personages, het is allemaal vrij koud geschreven.

Not the most in depth book but it was an ok quick read, would suit a younger audience to get them into reading novels.
