These devastating raids have long been storied in film and fiction, but here is a firsthand, blow-by-blow account of these perilous missions as they really happened. In these pages, you'll see the events unfold as they were recorded and recalled by one crew's officers and enlisted men (pilot, copilot, navigator, radioman, and gunners), corroborated by other crews they flew with, and painstakingly correlated with the official records of the men's 303rd \"Hell's Angels\" Bomb Group.\nThe publication of Half a Wing, Three Engines, and a Prayer in 1989 prompted a flood of fresh recollections, correspondence, and personal records from other veterans of the 303rd. This Special Revised Edition incorporates that wealth of new material into a vivid, thorough recreation -- complete with actual combat photographs -- of one of the most dramatic chapters in military aviation history.\n\nNew in this Special Revised Edition:\n* New veteran interviews\n* Expanded coverage\n* Revised data\n* 90 photographs \u0026amp; illustrations\n* Epilogue: crewmen's post-war careers\n\"A well-researched, highly readable account of a B-17 combat crew's experience...excellent.\" -- Roger A.
