SRP 2012 REVIEW: Good book about the men who flew B24 bombers in WWII. It profiles George McGovern, who won highest military honors for his feats of bravery and skill as a pilot. It also gives you an inside look as to what it was like in those planes--definitely NOT luxury. They were unheated, unpressurized and UNCOMFORTABLE. Temperatures at flying levels were often 25 to 30 degrees BELOW ZERO!!! How did they manage? Read the book!
