Lost Airmen

The Epic Rescue of WWII U.S. Bomber Crews Stranded Behind Enemy Lines

By: Charles E. Stanley Jr.

Narrated by: Qarie Marshall

Late in 1944, 13 U.S. B-24 bomber crews bailed from their cabins over the Yugoslavian wilderness. Bloodied and disoriented after a harrowing strike against the Third Reich, the pilots took refuge with the Partisan underground. But the Americans were far from safe.

Holed up in a village barely able to feed its citizens, encircled by Nazis, and left abandoned after a team of British secret agents failed to secure their escape, the airmen were left with little choice. It was either flee or be killed.

The narrative is equal parts tragic, maddening, and beautiful, reminding readers of the immense debt owed to these brave men.

Buy it. But buckle up because it’s a rollercoaster!

Thoroughly researched and a captivating story. I couldn’t stop listening because the storytelling is masterful. The time the author spent researching each individual is noticeable and therefore makes his observations of them poignant.

He humanizes each person and reminds us of the heavy, heavy weight these young people carried. I became attached to each person and it gutted me whenever anything happened because these are real people with real families.

I cannot thank Mr. Stanley enough for his copious and meticulous research. His book honors them.

I’ve recommended this to my family and friends, and intend on buying a hard copy as well for research purposes.
