Book Overview
Falling Down for the Count is a fact based account of one enlisted man's experiences during WW II. Beautifully written letters, preserved by a loving mother of a large Italian-Welsh family give the reader a glimpse into daily life in the US Army Air Corp during two brutal years of WW II combat. Journal entries chronicle passage to England, missions on a B-17, and the awful truth about POW life at Stalag Luft I in Barth, Germany. Poems, diaries, and artful pen and ink drawings illustrate the tenacity and perseverance of the creative human spirit when forced to live in a hopeless situation. From beginning to end, the story captures and holds its audience, taking them on an emotionally charged armchair journey into WWII. This description may be from another edition of this product.

This is exactly what I was looking for.
This is exactly what I was looking for. This is a diary account by Albert Williams. He details in his book what happened the day his plane, B-17 called Hamtramack Mama, was shot down over Germany on Nov. 30, 1944. My dad's plane, B-17 called Miss Cue, was right next to Albert's plane and was shot down as well. This book has helped me understand what happened on that fateful day in 1944. The book arrived in great condition just as it was described in the advertisment. I am happy to add this book to my collection I've started about my dad's WWII experience.

Couldn't put it down
This is an entertaining and excellent book for anyone who is interested in the experiences of our servicemen in WWII. The book chronicles the experiences of a US serviceman during his time in a German prisoner of war camp. The story unfolds via his letters home to his family in the US. I could not put this book down once I started reading it.
