One contained her dad’s Air Force uniform, and the other an unfinished memoir, stacks of envelopes, black-and-white photographs, mission reports, dog tags, and the fake identity cards he used in his escape. Susan Tate Ankeny was sorting through the belongings of her late father―a World War II bombardier who had bailed from a burning B-17 over Nazi-occupied France in 1944―when she found two boxes.
A downed B-17 bombardier’s unfinished World War II memoir and a box of letters from the French girl who saved him sets a veteran’s daughter on a journey, sixty-five years later, to craft their intersecting stories―a true WWII tale of danger, courage, love, and escape. There are also used book services that may carry earlier editions of some of these books.Īnkeny, Susan Tate, The Girl and the Bombardier: A True Story of Resistance and Rescue in Nazi-Occupied France, Diversion Books, 2020. This is not to be seen as an endorsement of Amazon. My descriptions of the books may be quotes from publications to which I subscribe ( WWII, WWII History, Communications , the newsletter of the WWII Escape Lines Memorial Society or WWII ELMS], the 8th AF News, or simply from Amazon.
I welcome suggestions for additions to the list because I am sure there are many I am not aware of.
