Fortress
There is a great book by the authour, Murray Peden, entitled 'A Thousand Shall Fall'
In the appendix there is a copy of a letter by Sir Arthur Harris who writes to Peden.
"I have just finished your book---in fact I found it hard to put down.
I consider it is not only the best and most true to life 'War' book I've read about this war, but the best about all the wars of my lifetime---from the Boer war onwards".
Murray Peden was a young lad from Winnipeg who trained as a pilot under the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan at various bases across the Canadian prairies. He went overseas and flew many missions on Stirlings. Later, he converted to the Fortress with many more missions accomplished. Lots of good stories about the B-17.
In the words of Sir Arthur, hard to put this book down.
Hopefully, for anyone interested, it might be available at a local library.
