Merriam Press World War 2 Memoir Series. John H. Horn's wartime
experiences as a B-24 pilot in the famous "Liberandos" bomb group,
the 376th, are recounted in this work by his son, John E. Horn.
Horn was one of millions in World War II who did their jobs. He was
mighty lucky and blessed to have come home unscathed. Most of the
real learning about air combat was on the job. Military schools and
training don't really produce combat-ready men and women. They
produce attitudes as well as thinking and re-acting skills. Actual
combat is the real teacher. John was forever grateful to his crew
and the leaders of the 376th Bomb Group who suffered his
inexperience and naivete. Without their patience, he would not have
developed into a competent, safe, and living combat pilot. 31
photos, illustrations, maps.
