They began operations out of England in the spring of '43. They flew their Flying Fortresses almost daily against strategic targets in Europe in the name of freedom. Their astonishing courage and appalling losses earned them the name that resounds in the annals of aerial warfare and made the "Bloody Hundredth" a legend.

Harry H. Crosby—soon to be portrayed by Anthony Boyle in the miniseries Masters of the Air developed by Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg—arrived with the very first crews, and left with the very last. After dealing with his fear and gaining in skill and confidence, he was promoted to Group Navigator, surviving hairbreadth escapes and eluding death while leading thirty-seven missions, some of them involving two thousand aircraft. Now, in a breathtaking and often humorous account, he takes us into the hearts and minds of these intrepid airmen to experience both the triumph and the white-knuckle terror of the war in the skies.

Read this book years ago so when I saw it was released as an audio book I figured it would be good to listen to before watching Masters of the Air. Through the years I have told many people that A Wing and a Prayer is one of the, if not the best personal accounts of service in World War 2 that I had read and after listening, I stand by that comment.

A Great Book

I enjoyed the whole story, the way that Mr. Crosby wrote the story was very informative to someone that didn’t live at that time
I have a whole new meeting for the young men that flew B 17 
God bless him and God bless what they did to save the world 

Very informative about bombing of Europe

I just finished listening to the story of the bloody 100th that AppleTV produced. And this is a crazy good follow-up of the navigator’s perspective. Well-written, fun to listen to.

Such a great review of the story of the Bloody 100th

Great stories

Despite being named after Don Miller’s book, this is the book that Apple’s Masters of the Air is based on. It’s an excellent primary source of the bomber war over Europe. As a former USAF Nav, Crosby really captures the essence of being aircrew in my opinion.

Worth the listen, the author gives a deep understanding of what it really was like.

Love these war stories by actual participants

What I dislike is writing a comment which does not meet your number of letter requirement.

The unique perspective of the author and narrator.

I have read many books about “The War,” it is one of the best. Open, direct, very powerful, very moving. Beyond the war, the history of the “Bloody 100,” the author ends saying that he was ambiguous about the war. “The War” is supposed to be just cause, he is uncertain. Brilliant.

Magnificent Memior
