Personal narratives of a group of remarkable men who left the wealth and comfort of America before the United States officially entered the Second World War to volunteer for the most dangerous trade in the world, RAF Bomber Command. The book follows the life stories and flying careers of 21 Americans who fought in the air war over Europe with the RAF's two premier Bomber Command squadrons-- numbers 9 and 617 (the dam busters). Out of those 21 Americans, 15 died in combat.
