On August 1, 1943, an enormous armada of America B-24 Liberator
bombers roared at nearly treetop level across the peaceful farms
and villages of Romania. This mission was Operation Tidal Wave. Its
target - the taproot of German might, Hitler's giant oil refineries
at Ploesti. Hundreds of U.S. airmen volunteered for the mission
despite warnings that half might not return. In thirty minutes,
more firepower was exchanged than in two Gettysburgs, and five men
earned the Medal of Honor. This revised edition includes a new
foreword and additional photographs from co-author Carroll
Stewart's collection. Ploesti presents a vivid reconstruction of a
dramatic and controversial mission.
