註釋

Harry Crosby, a navigator flying B-17 bombers with the 'Bloody 100th Bomb Group of the U.S. Eighth Air Force during World War II, was one of the few survivors from a kegendary group which flew missions almost daily against strategic targets all over Europe. Surviving 37 missions when most men were sent home after 25 Crosby tells his dramatic and moving story, including dozens of missions such as runs to Bremen which resulted in horrendous losses; to North Africa, East Germany and Russia; and of terrifying hairbreadth escapes from German anti-aircraft flak and fighter defences. He also includes amusing accounts of life for an American at an English air base, as well as a candid look at what the strain of constant exposure to danger and death cost him and his friends.
