The Final Mission of Bottoms Up:

A World War II Pilot's Story

By Dennis Okerstrom

Flying their B24J Liberator on a bombing mission over Germany the Bottom's Up (the plane's name) went down. The young crew found themselves in enemy territory. This book tells their story with an interesting twist. Lamar, who is the one the story is about, received a strange email from Croatia asking about his plane that went down in WWII. Over time they come to realize the archeology crew in Croatia has found the remnants of Bottom's Up. Its an excellent story!

Point to note: the crew went to Stalag Luft I, one of the largest POW camps in Germany and relevant to the next book I read.

Book 56
