CHILDERS, THOMAS Wings of Morning the story of the last American Bomber shot down over Germany in World War II
Reading, MA Addison-Wesley Press 1995 0201407221 / 9780201407228 Soft Cover Very Good
273 pages, 4 plates, pictorial wrappers, fine. From Library Journal: Childers, a nephew of one of the 12-member crew of the Black Cat, the last American bomber shot down in World War II, tells the painful story of the two survivors and the ten (including his uncle) who never returned. Childers (history, Univ. of Pennsylvania) pieces together the bewildering puzzle by way of letters and interviews, including those with German villagers near the crash site. Some of the evidence is painful to read. The bomber was directed off course into unnecessary ground flak. Two men may or may not have been tortured by the German civilians. A parachute opened too close to the ground. An airman could have been trapped inside the plane as it crashed. Childers knows his subject well, having written three other books about German politics, culture, and resistance. This work, a poignant tale of the airmen who almost made it home and those who waited for and loved them, is a heartfelt story. Although it has been done before, it captures the intense feelings of wartime and, as such, deserves to be read.
