Summary
For the first time, the full and complete story of the B-17 Flying Fortress Susan Ruth is shared in unbelievable detail. Author Steve Snyder's story of his father, Lieutenant Howard Snyder, and the Susan Ruth crew, provides in-depth details about many aspects of World War II few understand or know about. This includes: separation for young families as men went off to war; training before heading to foreign soil; military combat operations; underground and resistance and what Lt. Snyder did when he joined it; and German atrocities toward captured crew and civilians.

A true account is always pleasurable
This book takes you into the lives of people who served in ww2 and doesn’t compromise anything that isn’t fact. I’d gladly recommend this to anyone with an interest in the 8th airforce fantastically written a pleasure to read and pays homage to Steve’s farther who piloted the Susan Ruth

Extraordinary storytelling
Utterly gripping story. One of the most amazing war stories ever told or that I’ve ever heard.

shot down
If you've not read a book on the air war then this is a great start, if like me you have read many them some of the facts become I heard that before.... However when you actually start to peice the story of the plane and crew it becomes a tale of horror, daring and survival

Excellent
A great book, not only telling of the heroism of our veterans but locals willing to sacrifice everything to help the allies win the war!
I did find some of the repetitive bits a bit much at times but other than that I really enjoyed it!

not sure what this is
not very good and a disappointment for B17 enthusiast. not really a story and very jumpy and hard to stay with.
I'd seek another book if one is after B17 action
