Summary:
"The incredible true
story
of fighter pilot Joe Moser's
war
in the sky and secret
survival
at Buchenwald during
World
War
II
. On August 13, 1944, Joe Moser set off on his 44th combat mission over occupied France. Soon, he would join almost 150 other Allied airmen as prisoners in Buchenwald, one of the most notorious and deadly of Nazi concentration camps. Tom Clavin's
Lightning
Down
tells this largely untold and riveting true
story
. Moser was just 22 years old, a farmboy from Washington State who fell in love with flying. During the
war
he realized his dream of piloting a P-38
Lightning
, one of the most effective weapons the Army Air Corps had against the powerful German Luftwaffe. But on that hot August morning he had to bail out of his damaged, burning plane. Captured immediately, Moser's journey into hell began. Joe Moser and his courageous comrades from England, Canada, New Zealand, and elsewhere endured against impossible odds in the most horrific surroundings... until the day the orders are issued by Hitler himself to execute them. Only a most desperate plan might save them. The page-turning momentum of '
Lightning
down
' is like that of a thriller, but the stories of imprisoned and brutalized airmen are true and told in unforgettable detail, led by the distinctly American voice of Joe Moser, who prays every day to be reunited with his family.
Lightning
Down
is a can't-put-down inspiring saga of brave men confronting great evil and great odds against
survival
