<b>Will resonate with readers of the <i>The Forgotten 500</i> and <i>Code Talker. </i>The exploits, trials, disappointments, and victories of members of the American 57th Bomb Wing in WW II, including one young bombardier who would go on to write legendary WW II novel, <i>Catch-22.</i></b><BR><BR><i>"He had decided to live forever, or die in the attempt." — Catch-22</i><BR><BR> Joseph Heller’s classic novel turns on the "Catch-22" that trapped the World War II aviators flying bombing missions over Europe: Anyone would be crazy to keep defying enemy guns and deadly flak day after day.
