| Summary, Etc. |
- Summary, etc. - "W.L. White has again written a superb story of our fighting men. Queens Die Proudly is the story of a Flying Fortress crew in the tremendous air campaign that saved the day for the United Nations in the Southwest Pacific. Beginning with the tragic day in the Philippines when most of our Far Eastern Air Force died on the ground, we follow the Fortresses from island to island southward, through the fall of Java to the heroic stand off Australia, when American planes and American ships stopped the Japanese and started us back on the long road to Tokyo.
W.L. White has interviewed Lieutenant Colonel Frank Kurtz and his Fortress crew--survivors all of the famous 19th and 7th Bombardment Groups--and woven their personal narratives into a story of the first great air campaign in our war. Queens Die Proudly has the epic proportions of the airman's world--the towering cloud canyons, the great islands stretched beneath the eye, the lightning-swift attack and counterattack of air combat.
No more vivid portrayal of the reality of air warfare has ever been written."
