Hi Sarah, talking of 80 years ago. I witnessed the crash and explosion of a B-17 American Bomber in England in 1944. There were numerous mysteries surrounding this event which I have since resolved. My book also provides a detailed window of air combat in Europe during 1943 and 1945. It’s a story of courage, fear, love and compassion. The book, The B-17 Tomahawk Warrior: A WWII Final Honor, has been endorsed and praised by US Air Force authorities and others.
I hope you will get an opportunity to read it.
