Gideon's Thunder: A B-24 Bomber Pilot Diary
No Customer Reviews
In the Bible, Gideon was called upon by an angel of the Lord to do battle. Like so many thousands of others, Henry T. Holmes was called to service to help stop a heinous dictator from overtaking the world. He did his part, bringing thunder down upon the German war machine while seeing many of his friends and comrades suffer and die in the process, very nearly succumbing himself more than once. Follow along through thirty-five missions, feel the exploding flak, and experience the thunder brought down by the U.S. Eighth Air Force in World War II. I have written this book in a first-person format, attempting to put myself in my father's shoes, in the pilot's seat, imagining some of it, and embellishing where I must, combined with mission facts courtesy of the 392nd Bomb Group archives and notes from family members.
