註釋When Jack Wendling told his B-24 flight instructor that he wanted to "get the hell outta here and go fly fighters," the instructor challenged him with a question. "You don't think you can fly this airplane?" Jack answered, "I can fly this airplane, and the box it came in!" Jack never got his wish but did fly the B-24 Liberator in thirty-three combat missions. Battling the Luftwaffe four miles above Germany, flying fuel to Patton's gas-starved tanks, and nursing his bomber home with a hole "big enough to throw a dog through" in his wing, Jack Wendling tells the story of air combat as only one who made history can.These are the stories of a World War II pilot that earned his wings while just a boy, hilarious tales of training escapades, and harrowing accounts of mortal combat above the clouds.Join Jack as he shares the challenges he overcame, the battles he fought, and the outrageous characters he met on the ground and in the air.
