Posted By !!

These are stories of encounters with enemy fighters, struggles to control flak-damaged planes, grueling crash landings, and desperate bail-outs from burning planes.<br/> <br/> Many Airmen, fortunate enough to survive these experiences, were captured by the Germans once on the ground. Their treatment at the hands of their captors is painfully re-told here.<br/> <br/> Miraculously, some Airmen managed to evade captivity and escape the Germans, sometimes as an entire crew.<br/> <br/> In the course of the war, more than 30,000 young Americans lost their lives over Europe. As one Airman said: "The real heroes... were the many... who died in combat".<br/> <br/> These are the stories of other heroes who survived what seemed certain death. These are the stories of THE LUCKY ONES. <br/> <br/> Most of the stories are narrated by Airmen from the 401st Bomb Group.<br/> <br/> The English version of approx. 260 pages including 200 photos is available June 2002. <br/> <br/> The book is available on CD ONLY (one big WORD file ready to print as a book). See the attached cover.<br/> <br/> Price US $ 20.00 (prepaid) including shipping to your address in the States. <br/> <br/> Delivery time approx. 1 week. <br/> <br/> Please contact Author Erik Dyreborg usairmen@tdcspace.dk<br/> <br/> <br/> <br/> |- | '''Bill Erzar''' <br/>5/23/2005 11:54:28 PM | Erik,<br/> Are copies of the CD book still available?<br/> Bill<br/> |}
