Crop Duster - John D Beatty - Bog

Bag om Crop Duster

In the frozen skies of World War Two Europe, two mighty air forces fought in a deadly ballet of sudden death. The Americans attacked with their bombers again and again, dropping their deadly cargoes on factories, cities, homes. The Germans defended with their fighters day after day, charging the deadly guns of the bombers, defending their factories, cities, homes... A Wisconsin farm boy with a flying father learned to pilot airplanes before he could drive a car. Answering the call after Pearl Harbor, John Miller learns to fly the B-17 Flying Fortress, with its ten heavy machine guns. In the massive formations over Europe, the interlocking fields of fire were devastating to any attackers. The son of a butcher, Otto Thielmann is a boxer who learned to fly gliders as a teenager. When Germany called, he answered...and became a fighter pilot. Miller's and Thielmann's lives were so different, but so similar, they had to try to kill each other. From the author of the Stella's Game Trilogy, Crop Duster: A Novel of World War Two brings you visions of air combat, of the devastation of air bombardment to the targets, the attackers, the defenders, and the survivors.
