This wartime biography follows the life of a Second World War B-17
bombardier from the beginning of the war to its conclusion. Based
on the 150 letters the airman, Fred Lull, wrote home to his mother,
much of the horrors of what he experienced off the wing of his
plane, aircraft destroyed, dismemberment by flak, go unshared. Fred
did not want his mother to worry and could not tell her: 'I noticed
some movement and a flash of light out of the corner of my right
eye. The plane that had been flying right next to us had exploded
and simply disappeared.' Using the bombardier's combat flight
record, research data and interviews of former B-17 crew members,
the story unfolds, breaking through the barrier of an unwillingness
and inability to tell loved ones of the smell and taste of war.
