A Wing and a Prayer
“A compelling account of the air war against Germany” written by the navigator portrayed by Anthony Boyle in Apple TV’s Masters of the Air (Publishers Weekly). They began operations out of England in the spring of ’43. They flew their Flying Fortresses almost daily against strategic targets in Europe in the name of freedom. Their astonishing courage and appalling losses earned them the name that resounds in the annals of aerial warfare and made the “Bloody Hundredth” a legend. Harry H. Crosby—depicted in the miniseries Masters of the Air developed by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg—arrived with the very first crews, and left with the very last. After dealing with his fear and ...
A Wing and a Prayer
Harry Crosby, a navigator flying B-17 bombers with the 'Bloody 100th Bomb Group of the U.S. Eighth Air Force during World War II, was one of the few survivors from a kegendary group which flew missions almost daily against strategic targets all over Europe. Surviving 37 missions when most men were sent home after 25 Crosby tells his dramatic and moving story, including dozens of missions such as runs to Bremen which resulted in horrendous losses; to North Africa, East Germany and Russia; and of terrifying hairbreadth escapes from German anti-aircraft flak and fighter defences. He also includes amusing accounts of life for an American at an English air base, as well as a candid look at what the strain of constant exposure to danger and death cost him and his friends.

Summary of Harry H. Crosby's A Wing and a Prayer
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was flying on a practice mission at four in the morning. I was zipped in my flying coveralls, fleece-lined boots, and leather fleece-lined pants. I had my navigation kit, two bags, and five #10 grocery sacks. #2 The crew of Blakely’s plane was getting ready. I was in charge of the lead crew, which meant I was in front. I was not a lead navigator. On all my missions so far, I had been comfortable in a Tail-End Charlie plane. #3 When we were out of the takeoff pattern and climbing, I heard Doug and Blakely crawl to the nose compartment. I spread out my maps and equipment. I was so relieved that I took time to notice I had been sweating. #4 On the first leg, I was able to see every railroad, river, and town. I was able to navigate thanks to Forky’s help, and I was able to check our magnetic compass heading and our indicated air speed to calculate what the wind was doing to us.
