Gore and Glory

“This daring pilot’s narrative is a straight-forward account of his exploits and experiences in the far-flung Pacific, spellbinding in its drama, pathos and breath-taking thrills. May it inspire many others to follow in his footsteps.

“Gore and Glory is the story of Young America...out to do or die.”—CHARLES WAYNE KERWOOD, Lieut.-Colonel, Chief Special Liaison Section, United States Army Air Force

First published in 1944, this is the true story of Captain William Crawford, Jr. and his graphic experiences as a United States Army Air Force pilot of a Flying Fortress during World War II in the Pacific, the battle of the Bismarck Sea, the assault on Rabaul, and the Papuan campaign in New Guinea, among others.

Richly illustrated throughout with photographs.

An unmissable World War II aviation read.
