Lucky 666

True story about a B-17 crew in the South Pacific during World War II. It's a good read. The highlight of the book was when the crew went on a photo reconnaissance mission in preparation for the invasion of Bougainville. They were by themselves flying for eight hours. No fighter escort. They had to take on 20 Japanese fighters. I won't tell you how it ends.

It is better to be late in this world, than early in the next.
