"...a bravura performance..." -Dwight Jon Zimmerman, New York Times bestselling author For B-24 bomber pilot Al Lycoming, the mission was history in the making. For Women's Airforce Service Pilot Vivian Wright, it was a chance to put her skills to the ultimate test...and share in the burden of combat. Dispatched to Benghazi on mysterious orders, Al Lycoming finds nearly 200 other B-24 bombers being assembled...and a top secret assignment that will catapult them all into seemingly impenetrable Nazi defenses. Their mission: a daring low-level attack on Hitler's extensive oil refineries. But when his co-pilot falls ill at the last moment, Al secretly finds help from an unlikely source-Vivian. Together, the two fly towards dark skies filled with enemy flak and fighters...and into the pages of history. With perspectives from American and German pilots alike, When Heroes Flew masterfully weaves together one of the most dangerous and incredible aerial operations of World War Two with a riveting tale of bravery, suspense, and self-sacrifice. ____________________________ Praise for H.W.
