Of lice and men;: A true story of depersonalization and survival of a P.O.W.,
A POW story unlike any other. An incredible story of the triumphant human spirit, a spirit that emerges perhaps only in times of extraordinary testing. A few days after the Pearl Harbor tragedy Bill, at eighteen years old, enlisted in the Army Air Corps and began his training as an airplane mechanic-gunner that destined him to be a flight engineer on a B-24 Liberator Bomber. He flew 34 combat missions in those fiery skies over Europe before being shot down over the Ploesti oil refineries in Romania. Suddenly he found himself in a prisoner of war camp and experienced what it was like to be on the receiving end of falling and exploding bombs. Bill survived--unlike the 79,260 young American kids who did now survive those fiery European skies, with some falling from four miles high in the heavens when their bomber was blown apart.
