- Gives the reader a firsthand look at war from inside a B-17 bomber in
World War II - Focuses on the 92nd Bomb Group, 8th Air Force and
includes missions to the Schweinfurt ball-bearing plant and Berlin - One
of the first accounts of being shot down over Sweden The Savage Sky is
as close as you can get to experiencing aerial combat while still
staying firmly planted on the ground. The writing is vivid and intimate,
describing the bitter cold at high altitudes, gut-wrenching fear, lethal
shrapnel from flak, and German fighters darting through the bomber
formation like feeding sharks.
