Castles in the Sky, my WWII novel set during the air war over Europe, is now available to read in Kindle eBook, trade paperback, and audiobook!
From every corner of America, they crossed the Atlantic to destroy the Nazi war machine on its own turf: the B-17 bomber crews flying bloody bombing missions over northern Europe. On March 6, 1944, General Doolittle launched a massive operation he believed would change the air war. The largest air armada the Eighth Army Air Force had ever launched. The first full-scale daylight bombing of Berlin, capital of the Third Reich.
This horrifying battle would become known by the men who survived it as Black Monday.
From the author of Hell’s Eden, Strike, and the bestselling Crash Dive and Armorseries, Castles in The Sky tells the story of one such Flying Fortress crew. It’s a story of courage and grit in the face of impossible odds and the search for meaning in the madness of war. The 250th mission of the Eighth Army Air Force and the last for Pop’s Flying Circus.
You can get it here. Thanks for reading!
Enjoyed reading Castles. I am the son of B17 waist gunner. The intense detail with which the author presents the individual, complex and confused thoughts and actions of this crew of ten relates directly to my father’s reminiscences of Black Thursday. He was in the lead ship of the 95th BG (#1876) on that day on the port side of the patchfinder aircraft. A well known depiction was painted by artist John Rayson. Dad did not live to see Masters of the Air or read this historic depiction but they both ring true to the many stories told by my family’s personal hero.
Hey Michael, thank you for reading CASTLES IN THE SKY! I’m glad it struck a chord with you. Cheers!
