: Hello everybody,
: This is to tell about a book my friend Marilyn WALTON, daughter of 2nd Lt Thomas F. JEFFERS, bombardier on board B-24 "Rhapsody In Junk" Serial 41-28733, wrote about her Father, his crew, the plane's loss over Germany on June 18, 1944 with the Henry H. NORTHROP crew.
: The book's title is "Rhapsody In Junk - A Daughter's Return To Germany To Finish Her Father's Story" published recently by authorhouse (www.authorhouse.com)
: Very detailed and written with expertise and generosity, the book not only describes training, the Horsham St Faith base, the tensions before missions, the missions themselves, but also life as a POW in German Stalags, the Death March and other episodes. Mrs Walton's search has led her to England, Germany and Poland to retrace her Father's journey, and her book is a fitting tribute to the Greatest Generation her Dad and his fellow crewmembers belonged to. Never forget.

I appreciate the heads-up. We need to know when that kind of work is published.
