More than 150,000 American Jews served in the air war during World
War II. Despite acts of heroism and commendations, they were
subject to bigotry and scorn by their fellow servicemen. Jews were
considered disloyal and cowardly, malingering in the slanderous
(and non-existent) ""Jewish Quartermaster Corps"" or sitting out
the war in easy assignments. Based on interviews with more than 100
Jewish air veterans, this oral history features the recollections
of pilots, crew members and support personnel in all theaters of
combat and all branches of the service, including Jewish women of
the Women Airforce Service Pilots. The subjects recall their combat
experiences, lives as POWs and anti-Semitism in the ranks, as well
as human interest stories such as encounters with the Tuskegee
airmen.
