About the book

In the late 70s, five veteran airmen sat for interviews, recounting some of the most dangerous missions of the war. Ed Haydon dueled with German's aces. Robert Johnson racked up 27 kills in his P-47 Thunderbolt. Curtis LeMay was the Air Corps general who devised the bomber tactics that pummeled Germany's war machine. Robin Olds was a West Point football hero who became one of the most aggressive fighter pilots in the European Theater. And Jimmy Doolittle led the audacious raid to bomb Tokyo. Today these heroes are gone, but in this volume they tell their stories in their own words.
