As a pilot instructor with military navy air time I was riveted to read this veteran's narrative about his 35 missions.
Flying in formation through all that european weather in these lumbering explosive beasts had me tighten up just thinking of it and thinking of me doing just that. To sit in those steel cans and face down 20mm canon fire coming directly at you and just "taking it" until your face is turned into silly putty is also almost horrifying as you read it.
And all this from 20 yo kid; amazing who really won WW2 and my two uncles were Army pilots in the Pacific. My most cherished picture of them is visiting each other on some unknown pacific island; two kids from Manhattan fighting for their life and then coming home with malaria that lasted years. I'm sure none of these kids knew what they were getting into just the glamour of it mixed with rage of the Japanese attack.
He tops it off with 20 something lust and fantasy about losing his virginity which in today's anything goes at any age culture sees like from another country but still it adds to the stew of emotions you will experience along with him..............a terrific read for any pilot or WW2 enthusiast

I Thoroughly enjoyed this book. The author is is good at emphasising the sounds and emotions he experienced and even semi-apologises for this at the beginning. A good judge of how good a book is, is how often you think back to what you have read in it. I have done this several times with The Wrong Stuff. A recommended read for someone with WWII aviation interests!

My husband, Dave Bender, enjoyed the book very much and has passed it along to friends who have the same interests.

I loved this book - it was unpretentious, genuine, and informative. Truman Smith conveys realistically what it was like for him - and it's obvious by his writing style no one "ghosted" it for him.
