Product Description

From the Author

After 55 years I've finally told the total story!
I flew 2 combat missions on D-Day 1944 and 33 others. I was not afraid to die for my country but I had a great Guardian Angel that saved me from not only combat but also my involvement with some young English Ladies. These many years later I wonder what one of them was all about? The other was fun between missions for a teenage Airman expecting to die at any moment. Read of my buddies I lost and the horror of war along with some recreation as I tried to forget.

5.0 out of 5 stars Well done! 9 Jun 1999
By A Customer
And No Purple Heart is a powerful account of a young airman's struggle to survive 35 grueling combat missions over The Third Reich. B-17 ball-turret gunner Frank Reese Mays has written a great book, a stirring salute to the resilience of the human spirit. Feelings of fear, grief, and despair constantly plagued the young men of the 8th Airforce as they fought the greatest airwar in history and lost far too many friends in the process. But fear, grief, and despair lost. Life won. Darkness never lasts, and the pages of And No Purple Heart bear eloquent witness to that timeless truth.

5.0 out of 5 stars War, Death, Girls, Love, not much fiction here! 24 May 1999
By A Customer
"And No Purple Heart" by Frank Mays is a facinating reminiscence of the days over 50 years ago when each of the 10 men on a B-17 flew into combat wondering if this day would be his last. You'll feel the awesome tensions as you read this account of his story." Ed Stern, Exec Officer, 550th Bomb Squadron, 385th Bomb Group, U.S. 8th Air Force.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! What A strong story! Wow! 24 May 1999
By A Customer
"During World War II in the air over Europe, there were many heroes in the 385th Bomb Group of the U.S.8th Air Force. Clearly Frank Mays was one of these. None, however, had a more interesting life between missions than Frank Mays--as he chronicled in his facinating story, "And No Purple Heart"!" Bob Silver, Pilot and Command Pilot, 385th Bomb Group-U.S.8th Air Force.
