Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. An author's quest to discover what really happened to his uncle in World War IITo all appearances, Anthony "Tony" Korkuc was just another casualty of World War II. A gunner on a B-17 Flying Fortress, Korkuc was lost on a bombing mission over Germany, and his family believed that his body had never been recovered. But when they learned in 1995 that Tony was actually buried at Arlington National Cemetery, his nephew Bob Korkuc set out on a seven-year quest to learn the true fate of an uncle he never knew.Finding a Fallen Hero is a compelling story that blends a wartime drama with a primer on specialized research. Author Bob Korkuc initially set out to learn how his Uncle Tony came to rest at Arlington. In the process, he also unraveled the mystery of what occurred over the skies of Germany half a century ago.Korkuc dug up military documents and private letters and interviewed people in both the United States and Germany. He tracked down surviving crewmembers and even found the brother of the Luftwaffe pilot who downed the B-17. Dozens of photographs help readers envision both Tony Korkuc's fateful flight and his nephew's dogged search for the truth.A gripping chronicle of exhaustive research, Finding a Fallen Hero will strike a chord with any reader who has lost a family member to war. And it will inspire others to satisfy their own unanswered questions.

Aggiungi al carrelloHardback. Condizione: New. While working on his first book, Bob Korkuc became intimately familiar with the 381st Bombardment Group of the Mighty Eighth Air Force and met the group's chaplain, James Good Brown. Brown kept a diary during his time with the bomb group (1943 to 1945) in which he chronicled the daily experiences of the men. Years after the war, Brown self-published his diary, which today is hard to find. Through his friendship with Brown, Korkuc gained access to and chose to edit the original docu - ment so that more readers might appreciate this insightful wartime eyewitness account. Serving in his early forties alongside men twenty years his junior-whom he called the "Mighty Men of the 381st"-Brown took part in morning briefings, shared meals with crews, and anxiously awaited their return from dangerous daylight bombing missions. Flying as a noncombatant, an unnecessary eleventh crewmember, Brown describes his own observations of a Flying Fortress combat mission over Germany. Writing with extraordinary candor, Brown documents the inner workings of a bomb group that flew 297 combat missions over Europe, providing vivid character assessments of his fellow airmen and capturing both their victories and devastating losses. In addition to judiciously editing Brown's original diary for readability, Korkuc created a unique appendix, which reveals the fate of every airman who served with Brown. The immediacy of Brown's narration combined with Korkuc's meticulous editing make this a promising new resource for scholars and general readers alike.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. Life of the 381st Bomb Group depicts the daily life of the men of the 381st Bombardment Group (H) of the Mighty Eighth Air Force during World War II as revealed by its chaplain, James Good Brown, who kept a diary during his time with the bomb group from 1943 until 1945. In his entries, Brown describes with extraordinary candor his observations of the inner workings of the unit during wartime, delighting in the aircrewmen's successes and grieving their many losses. Serving overseas with the 381st Bomb Group while in his early forties, Brown greatly revered the young men, some of them twenty years his junior, who flew the combat missions. More than an unvarnished depiction of the daily activities of a bomb group that participated in 297 bombing raids over Europe fighting against the Luftwaffe, Brown's diary provides in-depth character assessments of the many men with whom he served. In addition to judiciously transcribing and paring down Brown's original document for readability, Korkuc conducted original research to prepare a highly unique appendix to the document, what he calls an Index of Names, in which he tracks down the fate of every member of the many aircrews with whom Brown served. With his Index of Names, Korkuc finishes what Brown started but could not finish by listing the fate of each airman, including those killed in combat, those downed but not accounted for during the war, and those who survived the war. Life of the 381st in World War II provides a rare, firsthand perspective on the early history of the Mighty Eighth Air Force, and on one man's dedication to his brave team of young airmen. The immediacy of Brown's narration, combined with Korkuc's meticulous editing and original contributions, make this a promising new resource to scholars in the field.
