Forever Remembered: The Fliers Of World War II: Interviews

In this gripping collection of interviews, World War II pilots speak frankly about their war experiences. Their recollections impart the terror, thrill, anguish, and exultation of flying combat missions.In recording the tales of a rapidly dwindling number of veterans, Broughton has preserved the oral narratives of a generation. Chronicled in this collection are the stories of the pioneering women and African American pilots who were instrumental in the foundation of flying units like the Women's Airforce Service Pilots and Tuskeegee Fighters. There are also the dangerous and compelling tales of fighter Aces, former prisoners of war, and Medal of Honor recipients.
