This gripping account follows the fateful mission of ten young airmen aboard the B-17 Flying Fortress Beats Me!? on January 23, 1943. Tasked with attacking a German U-boat base in Lorient, their story is told with remarkable detail, from the planning and execution of the mission to the aftermath. Alongside personal stories, it delves into the larger context of the US bombing campaign, the B-17’s development, and German defenses. Told from the unique perspective of a French historian, this compelling narrative reads like a detective novel.
