The Final Flight of a B-24 Liberator that Attacked Ploiesti on August 1, 1943 (Tidal Wave)

As written in his diary - - waist Gunner Bill Fay - - a 21 year old average American kid just out of high School and was forced into manhood by the ravages of war. Bill Fay did not survive the return flight from Ploiesti along with seven of his crew buddies. Only the pilot and co-pilot survived ditching in the Ionian Sea just south of the island of Corfu. Read the true account of how the Pilot and Co-pilot survived that watery landing, which was the final resting place for eight other crew members. Maternity Ward is a story about how those young American men went to war without the foggiest idea of the trauma that awaited them as they did what they could for universal freedom. They gave everything - - their lives.

Marguerite Madison Aronowitz Bill Fay's cousin found his diary forty year later and has written these memoirs - - of Bill's life as a bomber crew member in North Africa. A fasinating first person account of a real American hero. A must reading for all young Americans and Historians. The book is 176 pages long with over 85 original photos and diagrams.
