A Classic. |
| Whether this is your introduction to daylight bomber operations over Europe, or you've read hundreds of accounts, Half a Wing, Three Engines and a Prayer will not disappoint. What really sets this book apart from a typical account, is that O'Neill has managed to get the entire crew's recollections mission by mission. Each individual's perspective is different, and taken as a whole provides a remarkably complete picture of life on a B-17 crew during the most intense period of air combat in the ETO. You will be hard pressed to find a better book on the subject. |

A great read... |
| This book is highly informative. My father, a B-17 Bombardier in the 8th Air Force apprecitated the authenticity of this book. Well written without the Hollywood fluff. |

Excellent history of ETO aviation |
| O'Neill has provided an excellent history of B-17 operations in the European Theatre of Operations during WWII. Admittedly, this books is a bit dry in the beginning, and many times I thought that the missions all sounded the same. But slowly, the book gripped me and I was soon caught up in the danger and courage the crews experienced. Detailed oral accounts from the actual combatants is what makes this book enjoyable. If you are looking for a book to give you a feel for what B-17 crews went through during WWII, this is it! |
