About This Item
From the d.j. flap: "Lieutenant William R. Cubbins and his officers and crew were on a bombing run over Romania in 1944 when their B-24 Liberator took a direct hit from exploding flak and they were forced to bail out over enemy territory. As part of the 450th Bombardment Group, known as the Cottontails because of their distinctive white-painted rudders, they were participating in the U.S. Fifteenth Air Force's assault on what Winston Churchill had termed 'the soft underbelly of the Axis.' Cubbins' breathtaking descriptions of bombing missions over central Europe convey the apprehension, excitement, peril and heroism of the relentless American and British effort to knock out the sources of the oil and gasoline that fueled the fighter planes and tanks of Nazi Germany's war machine."
