The Bomber Boys: True Stories of B-17 Airmen

Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full

(Paperback)-Down Behind Enemy Lines: B-17 waist gunner, Sergeant Peter Seniawesky was somewhere deep in Germany. Where he did not know. How many miles to the French border? He did not know. Even if he could miraculously reach France, what then? The entire country was occupied by Germans and French collab-orators. He had no weapon and only a candy bar for food. He did not speak German or French and was dressed in an American aviator's uni-form. Escape was too grand a word. Peter was trying to survive -- to evade capture. He spotted a lone tree on the other side of the stream. If he could reach that tree without being seen and if the farmer with the shotgun and the German soldiers did not search past the stream...if he was really lucky. He eased down the bank, crossed the stream, climbed the other bank and began slowly crawling toward the tree. Although he could not know it at the time, Peter was beginning on of the most amazing escape adventures of World War Two.

User Reviews for The Bomber Boys: True Stories of B-17 Airmen

Overall Rating: Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full ( 4 reviews )
  1. Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full Posted: Aug 4 2009

    This is a wonderful book that documents five separate stories of B-17 "Bomber boys" from WWII. Two of these stories, one an amazing story of survival and the other about evading capture behind enemy lines, are perhaps the most interesting stories of individual exploits I have ever read. Not just from the war, but period. This book is a great read and a precious documentation of World War II sacrifice and heroism. The author is to be commended for capturing and publishing these stories while there is still time.

    I'm a big fan of WW II! And this book told great stories of the airmen that fought the war up in the skies!

  3. Star FullStar FullStar FullStar FullStar Full Posted: Oct 24 2007

    THIS BOOK WAS GREAT. IT GIVES YOU SOME REALLY WONDERFUL FIRST HAND ACCOUNTS OF ESCAPE FROM BEHIND ENEMY LINES,WHAT IT WAS LIKE TO CRASH LAND, AND JUST LIVING THROUGH A MISSION. THIS BOOK IS AN EASY READ AND YOU CAN PROBABLY FINISH IT IN A DAY OR SO. DEFINETLY BUY THIS ONE THOUGH.
