In 1944 and 1945, Tom Faulkner was a B-24 pilot flying out of San
Giovanni airfield in Italy as a member of the 15th Air Force of the
U.S. Army Air Forces. Only 19 years old when he completed his 28th
and last mission, Tom was one of the youngest bomber pilots to
serve in the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. Between
September 1944 and the end of February 1945, he flew against
targets in Hungary, Germany, Italy, Austria, and Yugoslavia. On
Tom's last mission against the marshalling yards at Augsburg,
Germany, his plane was severely damaged, and he had to fly to
Switzerland where he and his crew were interned. The 15th Air Force
generally has been overshadowed by works on the 8th Air Force based
in England. Faulkner's memoir helps fill an important void by
providing a first-hand account of a pilot and his crew during the
waning months of the war, as well as a description of his
experiences before his military service. David L. Snead has edited
the memoir and provided annotations and corroboration for the
various missions.
