He was assigned to the 458th Bomb Group, 752nd Squadron His first mission was June 10, 1944. He was still flying when the war ended. Near the end of the war the book talks about his involvement in a court martial He is assigned by his wing to work on the court martial of two pilots who led a mission in which due to navigational errors they bombed neutral Zurich, Switzerland. The book said there were several such mistakes made during the war. The trail ends after the war is over and everything was hushed up. This work covers the author's military service spent flying aerial bombing combat over Europe in the 8th USAAF, stationed in England. It describes operational events and the horrors of massive daylight bombing raids over Germany and its occupied territories, from D-Day until the end of World War II in Europe. The attack on neutral Swiss territory, described in the book, was one of several during World War II by American bomber formations caused by navigational error. These events were never reported in the American press, and their attendant records were classified as top secret for many years. The author, appointed by his Air Division commanding general, undertook the court martial defence of two young flying lieutenants involved in the incident. These men led a squadron of huge B-24 bombers in a misguided attack upon Zurich.
