John Comer kept a journal of the twenty-five missions he flew in 1943 when the casualty rate on his base was close to 80 percent. His book is handwritten history, recorded within hours after the battles occurred.
Comer vividly creates his experiences as top-turret gunner/flight engineer in a B-17 Squadron that was thrown against the best pilots the Luftwaffe could offer. In 1943 the Army Air Force had no long-range fighters to protect the B-17s as they flew deep into enemy territory.
Immediate, straightforward, and compelling, Combat Crew is a classic of aerial warfare.

Well written insight into life as a B17 crewman by one who made his 25 missions. After reading one has a good sense what it was like. Many did not make it. Not a moral telling. Respect for their enemies in the sky but hardly any reflections of the effects of the bombs on the civilians below.
