In November 1942, a 19-year-old son of an olive grower in California’s Central Valley left home to prepare for war. From Florida to Houston to Salt Lake City, he wrote to his parents every week about his experiences training to become an officer, learning every detail of the B-24 Liberator—and romancing the ladies in town.
Then, two months after he was sent overseas, the letters stopped. His plane had been shot down over the German Reich.
This is his firsthand account of daily life in the Army Air Forces, and the incredible true story of his survival, alone and evading capture in a desperate journey to find the Yugoslav Partisan underground—his only hope to make it back home.
