The Last Flight of El Flako

A Nephew's Tribute to a Gallant Crew on Their First and Last B-24 Mission

By: Robert J. Steele

Narrated by: Robert J. Steele

From the tragic loss of courageous airmen who gave their lives for our freedom to the gentle breezes that swirl through graves in a quiet cemetery in Belgium’s countryside, Bob Steele takes us on a personal journey of history and revelation as he recounts the story of his uncle, a gunner on a World War II bomber, and his own personal quest to uncover the fates of the crewmen, their families, and gracious Europeans who honored them. Any fan of Eighth Air Force history and the sacrifices made by American airmen in the defeat of the Third Reich will find this story informative, poignant, and well worth the listen.

Ultimate sacrifice

A moving and well researched account of the first and final mission of a WWII B-24 and its crew.

Incredible Historical Book

Dedicated author, who took years of finding the right people, going to places in person, and finding historical records and evidence to understand the full picture of what happened to the crew and family of El Flacko. Also, I like that the author is the narrator of this book, great job!
