Recenzii
So awesomely real, from conveying family conversations and inter-actions to describing flying and gunnery training situations to aerialcombat engagements. This is a book for young and old and a bookfor families. The incidents and stories within the book are well documented and substantiated with real postcards, letters, and photos ofthe time. What stands out for us today is the full blending, integration, assimilation of the crew, whether on the town, in training, or incombattruly an all-American crew. And its heartwarming to learn in the epilogue about the postwar life of these all-American heroes. -- William S Chen, Major General, US Army, retired
Russell Lows The All-American Crew is remarkable from many perspectives.

Russell N. Lows e All-American Crew is an achievement in intimate storytelling. The narrative brings the reader along as a diverse group of Americans form a fighting unit. We sense the great range of emotion only conflict can evoke, from triumph to tragedy. The All-American Crew is deeply personal, yet epic as its World War II context. It is family history, not only of young men who fought together as a bomber crew -- it is a family history of America. -- PhilScearce,author of Finish Forty and Home: The Untold World War II Storyof B-24s in the Pacific
