Brad Wilson grew up in the sleepy rural country community of Redwood Valley, California, and was used to playing with his dog, diving into the local swimming hole, and helping out on his extended family's ranch. Then came World War II, and suddenly he was in Europe as a member of the 445th bomb group of the 8th Air Force, flying missions into enemy territory, constantly in harm's way. Eventually he was shot down over Germany and taken as a prisoner of war. He made it through these events the only way he could... one day at a time. EVERYDAY P.O.W. is the fascinating story of an everyday boy in extraordinary circumstances.
