The Man Who Flew the Memphis Belle
The Man Who Flew the Memphis Belle: Memoir of a WWII Bomber Pilot | Ron Powers, Robert Morgan
1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
The riveting firsthand account of World War II pilot Robert Morgan, his crew, and the legendary Memphis Belle—written with Ron Powers, cowriter of the #1 New York Times bestseller Flags of Our Fathers. A powerful chronicle of loyalty, love, and heroism under fire, this is the unforgettable memoir of a member of the Greatest Generation who fought in America’s greatest battles—and of the war one man waged both in and out of the skies. High-spirited, young Robert Morgan was transformed from a fast-living, privileged playboy who grew up hobnobbing with the Vanderbilts into a steel-nerved pilot forged in the cauldron of World War II’s most dangerous and desperate aerial encounters. This is the triumphant tale of that transformation—and of the airplane and crew that never failed to bring him back home.

Gearing up for the permanent placement of the Memphis Belle in Dayton at the air force museum in May. This re-read was great & I'm so excited to visit the museum.
