Finish Forty and Home

Description

THIS BOOK IS ABOUT MY FATHER, Herman Scearce, and the men he presented with during WorldWar II, youthful aviators of the eleventh Bombardment Group’s 42nd Bomb Squadron. They fought secretly in the early long stretches of the war in the Pacific. By the time America directed its full concentration toward the Pacific war and eleventh Group B-24 Liberator bombers arrived at a striking separation of Japan, the fabulous new B-29 Superfortress arrived and took focus stage.My father flew strike missions as a radio administrator and heavy armament specialist on a Liberator, arranging from Hawaii to strike little Japanese-held island focuses from island bases excessively little and poorly-equipped to fill in as lasting bases. These bombarding missions were loaded up with the perils of foe contender capture, concentrated antiaircraft fire, and unforgiving separation.
