Description

Hell's Angels Bombardier is a true personal narrative of B-17 bombardier, Lt. Walter Hargrove. After flying 13 missions with the elite 303rd Bomber Group, including eight on the famous bomber, Hell's Angels, his crew was shot down over France on August 31, 1943, ten months before the D-Day invasion. This is his memoir of being rescued by the French Resistance and crossing the Atlantic Wall in reverse on Christmas day, with updates now that researchers have discovered the crash site, and have learned the true identities of the many French patriots who helped. The book contains many photographs of the B-17 bombers, the superb air crews at Molesworth Royal Air Base, and many heroes of the French Resistance. Here is one eye-witness account of their story.

Author Biography:

Dr. James Hargrove resides on St. George Island, where he has lived since retiring from the University of Georgia in 2012. After earning a B.S. degree in Biological Oceanography from the University of Washington, graduate studies led to a career in teaching and research in cell biology at Emory University and nutrition science at the University of Georgia. He has written a biography of Apalachicola resident and former mayor, William Popham, entitled "The Oyster King. The Man Who Bought St. George Island." "Hell's Angels Bombardier" is an updated memoir of his father's escape and evasion from occupied France during World War II, and "Cape St. George Lighthouse and Apalachicola Bay" is an illustrated history of lighthouses in the Florida Panhandle. Mr. Hargrove volunteers as a docent at the Cape St. George Lighthouse Museum and helps with field work at the Apalachicola National Estuarine Research Reserve.
