The Man Who Flew the Memphis Belle: Memoir of a WWII Bomber Pilot

The riveting firsthand account of World War II pilot Robert Morgan, his crew, and the legendary Memphis Belle--written with Ron Powers, cowriter of the #1 New York Times bestseller Flags of Our Fathers.A powerful chronicle of loyalty, love, and heroism under fire, this is the unforgettable memoir of a member of the Greatest Generation who fought in America's greatest battles--and of the war one man waged both in and out of the skies. High-spirited, young Robert Morgan was transformed from a fast-living, privileged playboy who grew up hobnobbing with the Vanderbilts into a steel-nerved pilot forged in the cauldron of World War II's most dangerous and desperate aerial encounters. This is the triumphant tale of that transformation--and of the airplane and crew that never failed to bring him back home.
