Product Description
Colonel Ray Ward's magnificent Those Brave crews: The Epic Raid to Destroy Hiltler's Oil Fields, follows the fortunes of American aircraft on their suicidal mission against the vital Ploesti (Roumania) oil fields. With him you will follow each different crew, sit in the pilot's seat, and share the unique experience of the gunners dueling eye-to-eye with the enemy flack crews. The sacrifice and dedication of these men rivals other famous events in history, such as the calvary charges of the Crimea, Pickett's assault at Gettysburg, or Xenephon's March.

Impressively commemorates bravery and sacrifice January 13, 2004

Those Brave Crews: The Epic Raid To Destroy Hitler's Ploesti Oil Fields by Ray Ward is a work of poetry that closely follows American aircraft on their daring and often lethal mission against the crucial Ploesti (Romania) oil fields during bleak and lethal years of World War II. Vintage black-and-white photographs, biographical notes, and dramatic free verse lyrics combine to impressively commemorate the bravery and sacrifice of determined aviators in this unique and unforgettable work. In stormes fast-breaking on the hills/Which lead into Ploesti's field's/Those guns-once there-resound and flash;/And ever on, in test of wills,/That tidal wave of bombers dash./And none may die who therein fly,/Who linger, timeless, in the sky./Nor need is there for shroud or grave/For any man with Tidal Wave.
