This plane cremated so many crewmen that newscasters were afraid to write or talk about it for fear it would cause a morale problem with the men charged to fly them. With the high number of men being killed in horrible crashes crewmen wore their Air Force Wings as bracelets on their wrists so their bodies could be identified, “just in case.” Combat in the skies over Europe followed, and so did the crashes. Pilots did not know the mammoth tail could, and had separated from this airplane while in flight. Pilots knew that they risked being cremated with their crew in a disastrous, fiery crash. What they did not know is that the manufacturers of parts of this airplane were falsifying reports and Congress knew it.

The Flying Prostitute is the dramatic, true story is shocking in its detail and documentation. The refusal to write about this airplane remains an enigma for writers even to this day. The author recites his cadet life at Randolph Field, San Antonio, Texas, The West Point of the Air, where he became the top-ranking cadet officer. He then earned his wings at Ellington Field, Texas where he along with others of his class, was assigned to be an Instructor Pilot of this aircraft for seventeen months.
