**The riveting firsthand account of World War II pilot Robert Morgan,
his crew, and the legendary Memphis Belle--written with Ron Powers,
cowriter of the #1 New York Times bestseller Flags of Our
Fathers.
**
A powerful chronicle of loyalty, love, and heroism under fire, this is
the unforgettable memoir of a member of the Greatest Generation who
fought in America's greatest battles--and of the war one man waged both
in and out of the skies. High-spirited, young Robert Morgan was
transformed from a fast-living, privileged playboy who grew up
hobnobbing with the Vanderbilts into a steel-nerved pilot forged in the
cauldron of World War II's most dangerous and desperate aerial
encounters. This is the triumphant tale of that transformation--and of
the airplane and crew that never failed to bring him back home.
