About the Author
John Muirhead was a lieutenant and WWII pilot shot down over Romania and taken prisoner in June 1944. He was rescued on Victory in Europe Day in May 1945. Before and after the time of his capture, Lieutenant Muirhead was working as a hull draftsman in the technical department at the Fore River Shipyard.
From Library Journal
First-time author Muirhead relates his experiences as a B-17 bomber pilot in World War II and as a prisoner of war. Stationed in Italy with the 301st bomber group, he flew missions to the northern part of that country, to Germany, and to Romania. It was on a mission to the Ploest oil fields that he was shot down, captured, and imprisoned in Bulgaria. The quality of writing and imagery in the storytelling raise this book above the genre. Highly recommended for most collections. Military Book Club dual main selection. George F. Scheck, Naval War Coll. Lib., Newport, R.I.
