THE LIBERATORS Winter 1943. WWII is full blown. USAAF B-17 Flying
Fortress pilot, Capt. Andrew Walters who has an unstoppable drive
and undeterred command of leadership, flies his crew through
horrific missions over Germany and Austria to slow the surge of the
Luftwaffe and liberate people from the devastation of Hitler's
Third Reich. In this fast-paced debut novel, German Luftwaffe burst
through clouds at 12 o'clock with blinding sun preceding them,
unleashing their weapons on an out gunned-out maneuvered-overloaded
B-17 on one of three treacherous missions to destroy ball bearing
plants over Germany. Capt. Walters leads his crew through torturous
flak, 8mm guns peppering the Flying Fortress, and 20mm cannons
barreling through the plane while holding a steady course toward
their initial point to release bombs on German targets. A web of
bloody human debris splayed across the B-17's windshield-an eyeball
stares back at them. During his thirty-month journey, Capt. Walters
is determined to become the man his perfectionist father can be
proud of-a man alone in his secret plight, his leadership would
turn frightened, petrified, ashen boys into men. Along the way, the
Captain falls in love with a spirited Red Cross nurse from his
hometown. She rescues an orphaned toddler and becomes extremely
attached creating multiple problems as a result. The pilot's family
in Fayetteville, North Carolina, suffers tremendously when their
son becomes Missing in Action. Rarely does a WWII novel deal with
the fears of its airmen or take you back home where the families
cope by serving their country in other ways while their men fight
for freedom for all. The Liberators covers it all.
