Low level mission

de Leon Wolff

"Only once in American history have five Congressional Medals of Honor been awarded to participants of a single military operation. That single instance was the low-level AAF bombing of the oil refineries at Ploesti, Rumania, on August 1, 1943. How did it happen that one air assault could create these and a thousand lesser decorations? The reasons are told by Leon Wolff in this book based largely on recorded interviews and eyewitness reports of survivors of that Ploesti mission."--Book Jacket.
