Included are stories written by several members of the group that tell the complete story of a mission from the minute the coded message was received until the mission was completed. Also included is the story of a gunner who was shot down and captured and the story of a crew that struggled to make it safely through the Brenner Valley, known as \"flak alley\", with severe battle damage. There are 20+ photos in this book, including several photos of bomb strikes, damaged B-24s, escort fighters and reconnaissance photos, as well as maps and charts. There is reference information on group losses and bomb types, and a sample of a pilot's \"flimsy\" (secret plan for the mission) and much, much more.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e 485th Bomb Group Association\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0971353832\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780971353831\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Tarnaby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/30\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.01lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.41d","brand":"485th Bomb Group Association","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926902374655,"sku":"9780971353831","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_5603d2ad-f739-40b7-bb2d-220b37a3bf9e.jpg?v=1681085669","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/missions-by-the-numbers-485th-bomb-group-association-9780971353831","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
