For B-24 bomber pilot Al Lycoming, the mission was history in the making. Dispatched to Benghazi, Libya, on mysterious orders, he 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, Albert is forced to secretly find help from an unlikely source—a female pilot who ferried a bomber from America. Together, the two launch on the most daring bombing raid of WWII...and into the pages of history. WHEN HEROES FLEW is a novel of extraordinary bravery, based on the true story of one of the most historic air raids ever flown. With perspectives from American and German pilots alike, this gripping thriller will keep you turning pages until the fateful ending.
