This grippingly authentic autobiographical novel about a B17 bomber crew takes us to the last months of the WWII air war, when hastily trained bomber crews -- young men, in many cases barely out of high school -- flew mission after mission out of English airfields against vital and most heavily fortified industrial sites in Germany. A Real Good War, Sam Halpert's long-delayed fictional debut at age seventy-seven, renders the experience in muscular prose that enables the reader to taste the terror of flying these missions through heavy barrages of flack, through impenetrable fog, often in crippled aircraft bearing wounded or dead bodies. As his crew carries out their brutal duty with humor and despair, fear and courage, coping with ever-mounting causalities, the young navigator who tells the tale learns the real meaning of war.
