I just finished reading a book about Curtis LeMay.

Crazy amount of crap those guys went through, and the death rates...even in training!

Being a SAC Trained Killer, I had to find out about my 'roots'. Amazing stuff.

I'll have to get that one. But, the best first person B-17 book I've ever read is "The Wrong Stuff". Funny and scary at the same time.

Guy became a screen writer after the war so he writes real well too.
