QUEENS DIE PROUDLY

The author of They Were Expendable tells the incredible story of the Flying Fortresses that held the southwest Pacific against towering odds, that could not be defeated, in the process of battering the enemy, many of these queens of the air ""died proudly"", and White, through the words of the men who survived, and who now form the crew of Brett's transport plane, the ""grizzled old Flying Fortress -- the Swoose"", tells a superb tory. Gallantry, heartache, and drama, and a challenge to every American.
