Barry Blake Of The Flying Fortress by Gaylord DuBois

A World War II boys’ adventure story about serving in the Army Air Core, and the many adventures, mishaps and even sorrows that beset the young men serving for their homeland in time of war. Our young hero, Barry Blake, fresh out of high school, heads off to pilot school with his good friend Chick. Sadly, Chick doesn’t make it, due to the workings of the detestable villain Crayle, and has to settle for bombardier school, but Barry, however, graduates with flying colors. Next, he then heads off to learn how to fly the famous Flying Fortress, the Boeing B-17F.
Adventures abound as Barry and his fellow crew on the Sweet Rosie O’Grady (named affectionately for the Captain’s dear wife) head off to war. Barry, only nineteen years old, is quickly promoted from co-pilot to main pilot when the pilot loses his arm in battle. Despite their plane being shot through like crazy, the crew manage to almost single handedly sink a Japanese aircraft carrier, land on beaches and create their own airfield, and rally to do their best and carry out their mission. Suspense rides high as they struggle to make it through and bring the crew home safe!
