These cleverly interwoven tales of their heart-stopping adventures take us from the feats of World War I through the heroism of World War II and beyond, including daring military raids and survival at sea, and will appeal to fans of \u003ci\u003eUnbroken\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Greatest Generation\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eFlyboys\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith the world in peril during World War II, each man set aside great success and comfort to return to the skies for his most daring mission yet. Doolittle, a brilliant aviation innovator, would lead the Tokyo Raid to retaliate for Pearl Harbor; Lindbergh, hero of the first solo flight across the Atlantic, would fly combat missions in the South Pacific; and Rickenbacker, World War I flying ace, would bravely hold his crew together while facing near-starvation and circling sharks after his plane went down in a remote part of the Pacific. Groom's rich narrative tells the intertwined stories-from broken homes to Medals of Honor (all three would receive one), barnstorming to the greatest raid of World War II, front-page triumph to anguished tragedy, and near-death to ultimate survival-of these three men who took to the sky, time and again, to become exemplars of the spirit of the \"greatest generation.\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blackstone Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49301536702768,"sku":"BD7865","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49301536768304,"sku":"ZE7865","price":34.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49301536801072,"sku":"ZM7865","price":44.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/7865-Square-cover.jpg?v=1775722097","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-7865","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
