I Fell Four Miles and Lived: Missing in Action — World War II (Unabridged Version) (Falling Fortress Book 1) (English Edition)

During the economic turmoil in the U.S. in the years just before World War II, James Andrew Raley, a farm boy from Kentucky, joined the Armored Cavalry and after Operation Torch, transferred to the Army Air Forces. While serving as a tail gunner on a B-17, he survived a midair collision and subsequent four-mile fall in the tail section of a B-17 over enemy territory, then hid from the enemy with other survivors for several months before escaping. "I Fell Four Miles and Lived: Missing in Action -- World War II" is the unabridged true story Raley wrote in in 1945 from notes he kept in his journal.
