Never Give Up: a Biography of Thomas L. Thomas by Price, Cheryl - 2004

New York: Iuniverse, Inc.. New with no dust jacket. 2004. Unknown. Softcover. On May 8, 1944, the B17 climbed and joined other bombers in the cloudy skies over England. It had been a smooth takeoff. Thomas L. Thomas adjusted his navigator's seat in the plane's nose section and glanced out toward the clouds that quickly enveloped the ground beneath the plane. In one sense, he felt somewhat sheltered when the plane joined other planes, 25, 000 feet above the English Channel. He imagined that the layer of clouds hid the Flying Fortresses from the flak of enemy fire. However, he knew it was a false sense of security. This is the story of Thomas's experiences in WWII, including his time as a prisoner of war, his arrival at Nuremberg and, finally, his journey home and subsequent life. 204 pages including photographs and a bibliography. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. .
