Book Description
It is April 9, 1945. A B-26 Marauder, the Vulgar Vulture, encounters two ME-262s over Regensburg, Germany. Tracers light the clear, moonlit sky as the crew feels the heat and percussion of ballistic impact. One crewmember stumbles out of the forward-hinged upward-opening hatch. The Vulture, a 37,000-pound medium bomber enters an inverted spin. The sole survivor watches his beloved crew and aircraft crash and burn. His wife receives a Western Union Telegram announcing his “Missing in Action” status. His life, however, is far from over. An English tank commander, two sons, a daughter and devoted wife have other plans. And then there is of course the prison camp, treasure, the quest, and the remnants of the Third Reich to deal with.

Book Description
In the bestselling BAND OF BROTHERS, Stephen E. Ambrose portrayed in vivid detail the experiences of soldiers who fought on the bloody battlegrounds of World War II. THE WILD BLUE brings to life another extraordinary band of brothers - the men who volunteered to join the American Air Force and undertook some of the most demanding and dangerous jobs in the war. Focusing on the men of the 741st Bomb Squadron and, in particular, the crew of the DAKOTA QUEEN, these are the boys turned pilots, bombardiers, navigators and gunners of the B24s, who suffered 50 per cent casualties during conflict. With his extraordinary talent for bringing alive the action and tension of combat, Ambrose sweeps us along in the B24s as their crews fought to the death to reach their targets and destroy the German war machine.
