Time to Get Out

This notable addition to the first-person accounts of World War II relates the experiences of Robert F. Mundell as told to his son David F. Mundell. A radio operator in the 8th Army Air Corps, Robert Mundell's B-24 bomber was shot down over Italy on his first combat sortie. He subsequently survived capture and escape from a POW camp, managing to elude his captors in the rural Italian countryside. More than a tribute of son by father, the Mundells' book provides a window into one man's service in the greatest war of the century. Extensively researched, with photos, detailed aircraft diagrams, maps and personnel lists.
