Sommario/riassunto |
|
"Both intimate and historical, Miss Fortune's Last Mission is as much about the brave men who fought and died as it is about the survivors who honor their sacrifices. The authors' search to understand the reverberations of the crash of a B-24 Liberator during World War II reveals the lasting effect of loss and the healing power of sharing our stories"--Provided by publisher. |
"When you were growing up, did you ever wonder why your father was the way he was? Did you ever take time to discover what he had been through? Bill Boyce did. In Miss Fortune's Last Mission he shares his search to discover how WWII affected his dad--and the extended family created from one plane's crew"--Publisher summary. |
